Small-signal models through op-amps, feedback, active filters, and oscillators — the working analog engineer's toolkit.
Linearise around the Q-point — the hybrid-π and FET small-signal models.
The voltage-amp configuration — high gain, inverting, with BJT and FET side-by-side.
The unity-gain buffer — high input resistance, low output resistance, the impedance-matcher's standard tool.
Current-buffer configurations and the cascode pairing that kills Miller capacitance.
The universal op-amp input stage — differential input splits the tail current; CMRR is the prize.
Nine canonical op-amp circuits — from inverting amp to instrumentation amp to comparator.
