Signal Types
•Analog signals take on
continuous values -
typically current or
voltage.
•Digital signals appear at
discrete levels. Usually
we use binary signals
which utilize only two
levels.
•One level is referred to as
logical 1 and logical 0 is
assigned to the other level.

Analog and Digital Signals
•Analog signals are
continuous in time and
voltage or current.
(Charge can also be used
as a signal conveyor.)
•After digitization, the
continuous analog signal
becomes a set of discrete
values, typically separated
by fixed time intervals.

Problem-Solving Approach
•Make a clear problem statement.
•List known information and given data.
•Define the unknowns required to solve the problem.
•List assumptions.
•Develop an approach to the solution.
•Perform the analysis based on the approach.
•Check the results.
–Has the problem been solved? Have all the unknowns been found?
–Is the math correct?
•Evaluate the solution.
–Do the results satisfy reasonableness constraints?
–Are the values realizable?
•Use computer-aided analysis to verify hand analysis

Chap 1 -16
What are Reasonable Numbers?
•If the power suppy is +-10 V, a calculated DC bias value of 15 V (not
within the range of the power supply voltages) is unreasonable.
•Generally, our bias current levels will be between 1 uA and a few
hundred milliamps.
•A calculated bias current of 3.2 amps is probably unreasonable and
should be reexamined.
•Peak-to-peak ac voltages should be within the power supply voltage
range.
•A calculated component value that is unrealistic should be rechecked.
For example, a resistance equal to 0.013 ohms.
•Given the inherent variations in most electronic components, three
significant digits are adequate for representation of results. Three
significant digits are used throughout the text.

Frequency Spectrum of Electronic
Signals
•Nonrepetitive signals have continuous spectra
often occupying a broad range of frequencies
•Fourier theory tells us that repetitive signals are
composed of a set of sinusoidal signals with
distinct amplitude, frequency, and phase.
•The set of sinusoidal signals is known as a
Fourier series.
•The frequency spectrum of a signal is the
amplitude and phase components of the signal
versus frequency.

Amplifier Basics
•Analog signals are typically manipulated with
linear amplifiers.
•Although signals may be comprised of several
different components, linearity permits us to use
the superposition principle.
•Superposition allows us to calculate the effect of
each of the different components of a signal
individually and then add the individual
contributions to the output.

Ideal Operation Amplifier (Op Amp)
Ideal op amps are assumed to have
infinite voltage gain, and
infinite input resistance.
These conditions lead to two assumptions useful in analyzing
ideal op amp circuits:
1. The voltage difference across the input terminals is zero.
2. The input currents are zero.

Circuit Element Variations
•All electronic components have manufacturing tolerances.
–Resistors can be purchased with 10%, 5%, and
1% tolerance. (IC resistors are often 10%.)
–Capacitors can have asymmetrical tolerances such as +20%/-50%.
–Power supply voltages typically vary from 1% to 10%.
•Device parameters will also vary with temperature and age.
•Circuits must be designed to accommodate these
variations.
•We will use worst-case and Monte Carlo (statistical)
analysis to examine the effects of component parameter
variations.

Tolerance Modeling
•For symmetrical parameter variations

NOM(1 + )
•For example, a 10K resistor with 5% percent
tolerance could take on the following range of
values:
10k(1 -0.05) R 10k(1 + 0.05)
9,500 R 10,500 

Circuit Analysis with Tolerances
•Worst-case analysis
–Parameters are manipulated to produce the worst-case min and
max values of desired quantities.
–This can lead to overdesign since the worst-case combination of
parameters is rare.
–It may be less expensive to discard a rare failure than to design for
100% yield.
•Monte-Carlo analysis
–Parameters are randomly varied to generate a set of statistics for
desired outputs.
–The design can be optimized so that failures due to parameter
variation are less frequent than failures due to other mechanisms.
–In this way, the design difficulty is better managed than a worst-
case approach.

reasonable.

Monte Carlo Analysis
•Parameters are varied randomly and output statistics are
gathered.
•We use programs like MATLAB, Mathcad, or a
spreadsheet to complete a statistically significant set of
calculations.
•For example, with Excel, a resistor with 5% tolerance
can be expressed as:
The RAND() functions returns
random numbers uniformly
distributed between 0 and 1.

Monte Carlo Analysis Example
Problem:Perform a Monte Carlo
analysis and find the mean, standard
deviation, min, and max for Vo, Is,
and power delivered from the source.
Solution:
•Known Information and Given
Data: Circuit topology and values in
figure.
•Unknowns: The mean, standard
deviation, min, and max for Vo, Is,
and Ps.
•Approach: Use a spreadsheet to
evaluate the circuit equations with
random parameters.
•Assumptions: None.
•Analysis: Next slides…
