California State Polytechnic Univerity, Pomona: Multi-Stage Amplifier Design
California State Polytechnic Univerity, Pomona: Multi-Stage Amplifier Design
Objective:
The objectives of this experiment are to design, construct, and test a multi-stage amplifier.
Pre-Lab:
B) Each student shall design, construct, and test his/her own circuit. This experiment is to test
each individual’s design capability.
C) Turn in a copy of the schematic portion of your prelab with the entire circuit design. Be
prepared to show performance calculations to the instructor prior to the start of the lab. Keep
a copy of the schematic for yourself.
* Lab time will limited, you will want to breadboard the circuit prior to the lab session. Instructor’s
recommendation is not to use a direct & shared-bias cascade scheme – recall the challenges in
maintaining correct biasing from Week #3.
List of Parts:
Procedure:
Test your amplifier circuit and read and record all the necessary data to verify that it performs to
the design specifications. Demonstrate your results to the instructor.
For the 100ohm loaded output, read and record the output voltage your circuit can support just at
the onset of clipping.
Data Analysis:
Perform an error analysis comparing/contrasting the calculated values from your pre-lab to the
measured values from the experiment.
