Good resources to practice transistor amplifiers?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding resources for practicing calculations related to transistor amplifiers, specifically focusing on current/voltage gains and input/output resistances for BJT and MOSFET circuits. The inquiry is aimed at identifying online and printed materials that provide problems and solutions for learning purposes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for online resources that include practice problems and solutions for transistor amplifier calculations.
  • Another participant recommends the "Schaum's Outline: Electronic Devices and Circuits" for its worked problems, noting its traditional paper format.
  • A different participant suggests a specific book on transistor circuit design from Texas Instruments and mentions additional resources like GE transistor manuals from the 1960s, encouraging checking eBay and used booksellers for these materials.
  • One participant shares that they purchased the recommended book from eBay.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of specific resources for practicing transistor amplifier calculations, but there is no consensus on a single best resource, as multiple suggestions are provided.

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

this was my high school textbook
