How can the loading between two stages be reduced?

  • A.Reduce the first stage's collector resistor to match the second
  • B.Bypass the second stage's emitter resistor more heavily
  • C.Insert an emitter follower between them
  • D.Increase the value of the coupling capacitor joining them

Answer: C

A follower presents a high impedance to the first stage and a low one to the second, so neither loads the other - impedance transformation at the cost of no voltage gain. A larger capacitor extends the low-frequency response instead, and reducing the collector resistor would lower the gain further rather than help. Inserting a stage whose only job is impedance is worthwhile precisely when the interface, rather than the gain, is the problem. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
