Why cascode amplifier is used?
The cascode amplifier, with its variations, is a key element in the circuit designer's tool kit of useful circuits. It has advantages for increasing bandwidth and for high-voltage amplifier applications. A cascode amplifier has a high gain, moderately high input impedance, a high output impedance, and high bandwidth.
How to Calculate Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain?
Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain calculator uses Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain = -MOSFET Primary Transconductance*(MOSFET Secondary Transconductance*Finite Output Resistance)*(1/Finite Output Resistance of Transistor 1+1/Small Signal Input Resistance)^-1 to calculate the Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain, The Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain formula is defined as a measure of the ability of a two-port circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input to the output port by adding energy converted from some power supply to the signal. Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain is denoted by Afo symbol.
How to calculate Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain, enter MOSFET Primary Transconductance (gmp), MOSFET Secondary Transconductance (gms), Finite Output Resistance (Rout), Finite Output Resistance of Transistor 1 (Rout1) & Small Signal Input Resistance (Rsm) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Open Circuit Bipolar Cascode Voltage Gain calculation can be explained with given input values -> -49.315537 = -0.01977*(0.01085*350)*(1/1201+1/1450)^-1.
