Can you do the same thing with electronic circuits? The answer–perhaps not surprisingly–is yes. Consider this simple common emitter amplifier (I modeled it in PartSim, if you’d like to open ...

[Paulo]’s calculator will therefore compute most of the characteristics of two class A common emitter/collector amplifiers for specified loads.

Figure 8-1: Common-emitter amplifier with resistive load. (a) Circuit, omitting biasing details. (b) Low-frequency hybrid-pi model developed so far. This results in a maximum incremental gain [1] for ...
