    Why does op amp saturation occur below supply voltage?

    I built an inverting op amp circuit on a circuit simulator and did a transient analysis on it. I set the gain such that I expected a clipped output, but to my surprise it got clipped at +9V and -9V instead of +10V and -10V, which were the voltages supplied to the op amp. So why would this be the...

    What is small signal AC analysis?

    Thanks for the reply; I'll check out those examples. While we just got up to the small signal model for the BJT in lectures, it wasn't explained clearly and I'm still wrapping my head around it. Besides that, only the very basic principles of a BJT have been covered so I'm very new to dealing...

    What is small signal AC analysis?

    I have designed a common emitter amplifier using a BJT and I need to perform a DC analysis, followed by a small signal AC analysis, on it. Before I continue, I will admit that this is homework, but please don't stop reading yet. I am not looking for anyone to do these analyses for me, but I...

    How to simulate the 'rolling' of an electronic die?

    Hi, So I've built an electronic die that generates a pseudo-random number from 1 to 6 each time a push-button is let go of. I use 7 LEDs as a display, representing the dots on the faces of a die. A shift register connected to an oscillator results in a ripple counter that counts from 1 to 6...

    Condensation on outside of glasses

    On a warm day, why do droplets of water appear on the outside of a cold glass of water? I don't really understand partial pressure and saturated vapour pressure, but I know it has something to do with this. Like when partial pressure = SVP, the water will boil, but at what point will water...
