Question

Design a feasible class A silicon BJT Power Amplifier that provides a high voltage
gain using 15 volts supply and employs a concept to increase its loaded efficiency to
50% so that little power loss is provided at the collector terminal.
Given by manufacturer for safe operation, the amplifying component has a DC
current gain of 200 and a collector current limit of 4mA. The output stage of the
Amplifier drives a headphone with 32-ohms load impedance applicable for
smartphones.
