SDSU EE 330 Fundamentals of Electronics 2026-05-05-Amplifier#9

This meeting was a lecture focused on preparing students for an upcoming electronics exam, specifically covering Chapter 7 material on BJT and MOSFET amplifiers. The instructor provided detailed instructions about the exam format, including the use of Canvas, room assignments, and procedures for taking the 25-problem test over two submission rounds. The lecture included an extensive review of amplifier types, equivalent circuits (pi model and T model), and problem-solving techniques for both MOSFET and BJT circuits. The instructor worked through several complex circuit examples, demonstrating how to decompose circuits into DC and AC components, identify amplifier types, and find key parameters like transconductance (GM) and input/output resistances. The session concluded with clarification about exam policies regarding printed materials and a brief discussion about Darlington amplifiers.
