Q&A Role of C2 (bypass capacitor)

To properly answer this question, you need to show us a real circuit with a capacitor across the supply. There are various reasons a capacitor across a power supply might make sense. Protecting t...

Q&A Design high -pass filter with 2 points of the bode plot

You still haven't said why you need, or even what order, type, etc. Assuming it's a 2nd order, an exact solution involves creating a generic transfer function and then solving a system of equations...

Q&A Low-pass filter after the output DAC in CD players

The oversampling is said to simplify the LPF yet the better reason is that it improves the SNR. Lower noise comes from better image rejection, lower filter ringing, and significantly lower group d...

Q&A Re model of transistor is the same in 2 different configuration

I never would recommend to use the "re model" for a BJT. The reason is as follows: The BJT is a voltage-controlled device (Ic is controlled by Vbe and the base current is an unwanted by-product...

Q&A Effect of adding stages to a filter

There are a number of misconceptions here. bode plot db/Hz First, it's "dB", not "db". Second that's not a Bode plot. Those are dB/Log(Hz). In other words, a certain frequency ratio results in...

Q&A How to design a low-pass filter when certain conditions must be met

Your requirements are odd. Can you specify what purpose that filter is for? I'm saying this because, for a -0.1 dB/Hz, a filter will have a continuously increasing attenuation slope. Think of it li...
