For symmetrical maximum undistorted voltage swing in a simple class-A common-emitter stage, the Q-point is commonly chosen near?

  • ACutoff only
  • BSaturation only
  • CThe middle of the DC load line
  • DZero collector current and zero VCE simultaneously
Report an error
Correct Answer: C. The middle of the DC load line
Explanation: Biasing near the center of the DC load line allows approximately equal signal swing toward cutoff and saturation.
