Linear amplifier using emitter degeneration

  • RL=5k, Rs=5k, Rin=50k
  • Voltage gain=4
  • Maximize the output voltage swing with Vcc=12V
  • Once you have a successful design with an NPN transistor, repeat it with a PNP transistor. What is the easiest way of modifying and testing the performance with a PNP transistor?
