AC analysis of BJT Cascaded systems
Cascaded systems
In cascaded amplifier systems the gain of individual amplifiers are
multiplied for the overall gain of the system.
Example 5.14
Determine a). The loaded gain for each stage. b). The total gain for the
system, Av and Avs . c). The total current gain for the system.

AC analysis of BJT Darlington configuration as emitter follower
In this case the input impedance is high, also the current gain is high but
voltage gain remains around 11. Practically remains slightly less than 1.

AC analysis of BJT Darlington configuration as emitter follower
There are now two base-to-emitter voltage drops to include and the beta
of a single transistor is replaced by the Darlington combination (βD ).

The value of Ib1 = β1 re1 +(β1 +1)β2 re2 and the value of Ib2 is =(β1 + 1)Ib1
Vo = −Ib1 β1 re1 − (β1 + 1)Ib1 β2 re2 = −Ib1 [β1 re1 − (β1 + 1)β2 re2 ] (33)
