DC Biasing & AC Performance Analysis of BJT & FET Differential Amplifiers

TweetDC Biasing & AC Performance Analysis of BJT and FET Differential Amplifier Sub-circuits with Active Loads Any op-amp worth its salt has a differential amplifier at its front end, and you’re nobody if you can’t design one yourself.  So, this article presents a general method for biasing and analyzing the performance characteristics of single-stage BJT [...]

The Convolution Integral Explained

TweetIntroduction to the convolution Amongst the concepts that cause the most confusion to electrical engineering students, the Convolution Integral stands as a repeat offender.  As such, the point of this article is to explain what a convolution integral is, why engineers need it, and the math behind it. In essence, the “convolution” of two functions [...]

Frequency Response for MOSFET/BJT

TweetThe frequency response of a BJT or MOSFET can be found using nearly the exact same process, with the only variations being caused by a single resistor and simple naming conventions that differ between the two devices. Before we start let’s think a little bit about what we’re doing: Our goal is going to be [...]

Amplifiers – Part I

TweetThis post is about amplifiers, how they work, and common applications. I will cover several operational amplifier configurations, and situations where each might be useful. This is part I of II for general discussion about amplifiers. Enjoy! Definition of an amplifier Definition (for Bioinstrumentation): Circuit that makes a small signal, usually voltage but occasionally current [...]

Laplace Transforms

TweetWhat is the Laplace Transform method? The Laplace Transform is a method that simplifies integral and differential equations into algebraic equations. This practice is commonly used to solve for a function out of a differential equation, which otherwise may have been unsolvable or very difficult. The following integrals can be used to transform between where [...]
