Which of the following is not a way to widen a stage's bandwidth?

Increasing the collector load resistance

Adding a cascode device

Lowering the source impedance

Reducing the load capacitance

  • A.Lowering the source impedance
  • B.Reducing the load capacitance
  • C.Increasing the collector load resistance
  • D.Adding a cascode device

Answer: C

Increasing the collector load raises the gain and lowers the break in the same proportion, so the bandwidth falls. The other three all attack a factor in one of the limiting time constants without raising the gain. Because gain and bandwidth trade at a roughly constant product, any change that raises the gain has to be checked for what it costs at the band edge, and this one costs exactly what it gains.
