55:041 Electronic Circuits. The University of Iowa. Fall 2012. Homework Assignment 09 Question 1 Electronics engineers are often interested in the input- and output resistance of amplifiers. Provide two reasons for this and briefly explain. (4 points) Answer One reason is that the input resistance of an amplifier can load the source at its input. For example, if the output resistance of an amplifier is the same as the internal resistance of a sensor, then only 50% of the signal appears at the amplifier input, and we lose 50% of the signal. Similarly, the output resistance will determine how the load will affect the output voltage. The second reason is that the input-and output resistances can also determine the overall frequency response. For example, if an amplifier drives a long cable, the time constant associated with the cable capacitance and output resistance of the amplifier will limit the highfrequency response. At the input, the time constant associated with the input resistance and a coupling capacitor will limit the low frequency response. Question 2 Consider the amplifier below. In the circuit, represents a photodetector. Ignore the MOFET’s capacitances. (a) Classify the type of frequency response (high-pass or low-pass) the circuit has.
