Good resources to practice transistor amplifiers?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for practicing calculations related to current and voltage gains, as well as input and output resistances in BJT and MOSFET amplifier circuits. The Schaum's Outline "Electronic Devices and Circuits" is highly recommended for its extensive worked problems. Additionally, users are directed to the GE transistor manuals from the 1960s for further study. The community emphasizes the importance of finding practical problems with solutions to enhance learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of BJT and MOSFET amplifier circuits
  • Basic knowledge of current and voltage gain calculations
  • Familiarity with input and output resistance concepts
  • Access to electronic circuit textbooks or manuals
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Schaum's Outline "Electronic Devices and Circuits" for practice problems
  • Review the GE transistor manuals from the 1960s for historical context and examples
  • Search for online platforms offering interactive transistor amplifier circuit simulations
  • Investigate additional textbooks or resources that provide problem sets with solutions
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, hobbyists, and engineers looking to deepen their understanding of transistor amplifier circuits and improve their calculation skills in this area.

Hey guys this isn't so much a homework question as it is a learning question. Any good resources online that could help me practice calculating current/voltage gains as well as input/output resistances for BJT and MOSFET amplifier circuits? I can't really find any resources that give me problems + solutions.

Thanks in advanced!

I really like the Schaum's Outline "Electronic Devices and Circuits". Lots of worked problems. It's kind of old fashioned being paper and all.

see also GE transistor manuals from 1960's

Okay, just bought the ebay linked reference. :woot:
 
Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
