In this chapter, we learn to work with amplifiers that may contain many interconnected stages, and several important new amplifier configurations are introduced. Overall, we want to achieve these goals:
  1. Understand analysis and design of ac-coupled multistage amplifiers including voltage gain, input and output resistances, and small-signal limitations
  2. Understand analysis and design of dc-coupled multistage amplifiers
  3. Discuss the characteristics of the Darlington configuration
  4. Learn about the cascode amplifier
  5. Explore the dc and ac properties of differential amplifiers
  6. Understand the basic three-stage operational amplifier circuit
  7. Explore design of class-A, class-B, and class-AB output stages
  8. Discuss the characteristics and design of electronic current sources
  9. Further our understanding of the use of SPICE in circuit analysis
