Today, we're going to build a single transistor amplifier, just to show you that the theoretical numbers and models you use in class do in fact serve a purpose. Okay so let's start with the premise. We want to create a single transistor amplifier that has a gain of 10, and works off a 9V … Continue reading BJT Amplifier – Concept to Components →

I've been refreshing my microelectronics knowledge in preparation for grad school, and in the process I made a little cheat sheet that covers all the common BJT and MOSFET amplifier configurations and their formulas. Microelectronic Cheat SheetDownload

Ahhh, ECE 2301, Signals & Systems. There's something about this class that's so far removed from everything else. You take a few classes learning Kirchoff's laws and digital logic and motors and then to fulfill your graduation requirements you take this class where you don't see a single piece of hardware, a single component, no … Continue reading Fourier Transform: WTF does that equation mean? →
