Which stage arrangement gives a predictable gain of exactly ten?

  • A.An emitter follower driving a ten-to-one divider at its output
  • B.A common-base stage with a matched source impedance
  • C.Degeneration with a ten-to-one resistor ratio
  • D.A bypassed emitter at a carefully chosen operating current

Answer: C

Setting the collector resistor ten times the emitter resistor gives a gain of ten set by two resistors, holding across devices and temperatures - subject to a small correction for the intrinsic emitter resistance. Choosing an operating current would give the right answer only at one temperature, and the remaining options do not produce a gain of ten at all. A specification that reduces to a ratio of passive components is as reliable as those components, which is the whole appeal of feedback.
