Abstract :
Conventional treatment of amplifiers emphasizes relationships between specifications and circuit parameters and gives only marginal importance to relationships among the specification themselves. With a view that an understanding of tradeoffs among specifications is very important from the design perspective, a representation of amplifier results is presented that explicitly highlights these relationships. Results are presented for some commonly used bipolar and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) amplifier topologies.
