We can replace large signal models with
small signal circuit models
Foundations: Section 8.2.1 and also in the last slide in this lecture

Analyze resulting linearized circuit…
Key: Can use superposition and other
linear circuit tools with linearized circuit!

Amplifier example:
Trang 13To find the relationship between the small signal parameters of
a circuit, we can replace large signal device models with
corresponding small signal device models, and then analyze the resulting small signal circuit.
Foundations: (Also see section 8.2.1 of A&L)
KVL, KCL applied to some circuit C yields:

Replace total variables with
operating point variables plus small signal variables
Operating point variables themselves satisfy the same KVL, KCL equations

Since small signal models are linear, our linear tools will now
But is the same equation as with small signal
variables replacing total variables, so must reflect same topology as in C, except that small signal models are used
