8.77 Consider the BJT cascode amplifier of Fig. 8.34 for the case that all transistors have equal β and ro. Show that the voltage gain Av can be expressed in the form
Evaluate Av for the case |VA| = 5 V and β = 50. Note that except for the fact that β depends on I as a second-order effect, the gain is independent of the bias current I!
