By the end of the discussion, the student must be able to:
1.DIGITAL ELECTRONICS
– is concerned with all phases of electronics in
which signals are represented in terms of finite number
of digits, the most common of which is the binary
system.
- Includes all arithmetic computations on such
numbers, as well as associated logic operations.
2.LINEAR ELECTRONICS
- is concerned with all phases of electronics in
which signals are represented by continuous or analog
variables.
- includes all signal-processing functions (for
example, amplification) associated with such signals.
Actually the term linear is a misnomer since many of the
circuits is classified as such are non linear in nature.
A = Vo(t) / Vi(t)
Is = Vs/ Rs
And
Vs = Is Rs
EXAMPLE 2
Is = Vs/Rs
= 80 mV / 2 kohms
= 40 μA

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
VOLTAGE GAIN
a.Aso = 12.99
b.Vi = 0.1818 V
Vo open circuit = 9.09 V
Vo loaded circuit = 2.958 V
POWER GAIN, G
is defined as:
G = Po/ Pi
Note that:
Then,
άi dB = 2.5 dB
άo dB = 1.94 dB
Aso dB = 29.54 dB
FREQUENCY RESPONSE CONSIDERATIONS
All linear circuits have frequency-limiting characteristics.
PHASORS
The complex impedance Z is defined as:
Z = V/I
Since Z is complex,
Z = R + jX
Y is admittance. Y = I/V = 1/ Z
Admittance Y,
Y = G + jB
Zc = 1/jwC
And ZL = jwL

ASSIGNMENT 1
I. DESIGN PROBLEMS:
1. A certain amplifier is to be selected to amplify the
signal between a 1 kohms resistance source and a 5
kohms load. If the signal loss due to loading effects at
each end is not to exceed 0.5 dB( that is 1 dB in total),
determine:
a. the minimum value of input impedance
b. the maximum value of output impedance.
2. A certain amplifier with an adjustable gain A is to be
placed between a 500 ohm resistive source and a 2
kohms resistive load. The input and output impedances of
the amplifier are 1.5 kohms and 500 ohms respectively.
The open circuit source voltage is 50 mV, and it is desired
to establish 4V across the load. Determine the required
value of A.
