The amplifiers X, Y and Z are connected in series. If the voltage gains of X, Y and Z are 10, 20 and 30, respectively and the input signal is 1 mV peak value, then what is the output signal voltage (peak value)

(i) if DC supply voltage is 10 V?

(ii) if DC supply voltage is 5 V?

Hint: The output signal voltage depends on the voltage application.
Step 1: Find the voltage amplification.
Given,
Avx=10, Avy=20, Avz=30;
Vi=1mV=10-3V
Now, Output Signal Voltage (Vo)Input Signal Voltage (Vi)=Total voltage amplification
VoVi=Avx×Avy×Avz
Vo=Avx×Avy×Avz×Vi
=10×20×30×10-3=6 V
Step 2: Find the output voltage.
(i) If DC supply voltage is 10 V, then output is 6 V since theoretical gain is equal to practical gain, i.e., the output can never be greater than 6 V.
(ii) If DC supply voltage is 5 V, i.e., Vcc = 5 V. Then, the output peak will not exceed 5 V. Hence Vo = 5 V.
