Although the digital processing of signals is at present all-pervasive, there
remain many signal processing functions that are best performed by
analog circuits.
A good electronic engineer must proficient in the design of both

1.4.6 The Amplifier Power Supplies
Amplifiers can not generate power or energy.
Power for amplification should be supplied by dc power supply (voltage
regulator) or battery.
Some amps use only one
power supply.

1.5.4 Relationships between the Four Amplifier Models
Although for a given amplifier a particular one of the four models in Table 1.1 is most preferable,
any of the four can be used to model the amplifier.
Simple relationships can be derived to relate the parameters of the various models.

 Ri can be determined by applying an input voltage  i
and measuring (or calculating) the input current ii .
Ri   i / ii
 Ro can be found as the ratio of the open-circuit output voltage
to the short-circuit output current.
 Or, Ro can be found by eliminating the input source (ii  0, i  0) and applying a voltage signal  x
to the output of the amplifier. If we denote the current drawn from  x into the output terminals i x ,
( i x is opposite in direction to io )
Ro   x / i x
These techniques are conceptually right, in actual practice more refined methods
are employed in measuring Ri and Ro.

The amplifiers considered so far are unilateral; that is, signal flow is in unidirectional,
from input to output.
Most real amplifiers show some reverse transmission, which is usually undesirable but
must nonetheless be modeled.

interpreted by the inverter as represented as logic 1.

1.7.3 Noise Margin
- Great advantage of digital circuit over analog circuit.
- Restoring the signal levels to standard level (VOL and VOH)
when it is presented with corrupted signal level (within the
noise margin).

- Maximum noise margin.
- CMOS inverter is very close to realizing the ideal VTC.

is assumed to close when υI
is high.
For FET, when υI is high, no
current flow from υI through

However, when υI is high,
current flow from VDD through
R and Ron to ground.

1.8 Circuit Simulation Using SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis)
The use of computer programs to simulate the operation of electronic circuits has become an essential
in the circuit-build process before
step
and after fabrication.
• Circuit simulation enables the designer;
- To verify the design to meet specification when actual components (with their many imperfection) are used.
- To get additional insight into circuit operation.
- To fine-tune the final design prior to fabrication.
It is not a substitute for a thorough understanding of circuit operation !
It should be performed only a later stage in the design process
after a paper-and-pencil design has been done !
• PSpice is a commercial PC version of SPICE (Cadence).
• PSpice A/D : analog and digital signal
• OrCAD Capture CIS (Component Information System) : graphical interface ( referred in this book)
