Consider the amplifier circuit of Fig. 7.6 when operated with a supply voltage VCC =+3V. (a) What is the theoretical maximum voltage gain that this amplifier can provide? (b) What value of VCE must this amplifier be biased at to provide a voltage gain of –60 V/V? (c) If the dc collector current IC at the bias point in (b) is to be 0.5 mA, what value of RC should be used? (d) What is the value of VBE required to provide the bias point mentioned above? Assume that the BJT has IS = 10−15 A. (e) If a sine-wave signal vbe having a 5-mV peak amplitude is superimposed on VBE, find the corresponding output voltage signal vce that will be superimposed on VCE assuming linear operation around the bias point. (f) Characterize the signal current ic that will be superimposed on the dc bias current I
