A schematic of a loaded, BJT (3C2BJT1) inverter is shown below, driving a load modelled by the resistor RL. The inverter is driven by a technology where ViHmin = 2.4 V and ViLmax = 1.4 V and power is provided as VCC = 5 V. The resistance values are as follows: RC = 3 kΩ and RB = 16 kΩ and excerpts from the datasheet of the 3C2BJT1 are attached. Determine the maximum value of the load resistance, RL, such that the transistor operates at the edge of saturation under worst case conditions.

a. For the circuit shown below, show a clean and labeled small signal equivalent circuit and derive the expression for vo/vb, (vb is the small signal voltage at the base node) vo/vsig, Rin and Rout. (b) This is the design part. The specifications are as follows: The required gain vo/vb = −120 V/V, Ic = 1 mA. and the require voltage swing at the output is ±3 V around the DC value of the output. (Hint: Do not use the generic design rule. You should be able to find the DC voltages at the collector and emitter from the specifications). Assume Vcc = 8 V. For this design assume VA = ∞ (this makes ro = ∞), V T (Thermal Voltage) = 25 mV, VBE = 0.7 V, VCEsat = 0.3 V and β = ∞. Find the values of RC, RE, RB1, and RB2. (c) If the β = 100 instead of the design value, find the new Ic. Now assuming VA = 50 V find vo/vsig, Rout and RIN. For this part assume Rsig = 10 kΩ. Punt: If you could not answer (b), use RC = 3 kΩ, RE = 2 kΩ, RB1 = 50 kΩ, and RG2 = 30 kΩ (d) Run a transient simulation of the designed circuit in Multisim. Use the same BJT used in the lab simulation. Show the input voltage v sig and output voltage v o on the same plot. Choose vsig to be at 1 kHz and 10 mV peak sinusoidal. Compare with calculated value of the gain in part c.
