<strong>Analysis</strong> of Feedback<br />

Amplifier <strong>Using</strong> DPI/SFG<br />

In this section, we illustrate how DPI/SFG analysis is applied to the two-stage<br />

transistor feedback amplifier example introduced in Chapter 2. The circuit is shown<br />

again in Figure A.1. This example also serves as a comparison of DPI/SFG analysis<br />

with traditional nodal and topology-based feedback analysis. Assuming<br />

g m<br />

= 100mA ⁄ V , β = 100 , and ignoring the Early effect for both transistors, let<br />

us determine the input and output resistance as well as the voltage gain of the ampli-<br />

fier.<br />

Q 1<br />

Having derived the signal-flow graph (SFG) for the bipolar transistor in Chapter<br />

4, the SFG for this circuit can be obtained by simply connecting together the indi-<br />

vidual device SFGs as shown in Figure A.2. The superposition of the circuit sche-<br />

matic atop of the circuit SFG allows us to see the structural similarities between the<br />

two representations of the circuit. This superposition helps provide visual clues to<br />

the various feedback paths found in the circuit. We can simplify this graph by noting<br />
