Structured Electronic Design : Negative feedback amplifiers Analog design is one of the more difficult aspects of electrical engineering. The main reason is the apparently vague decisions an experienced designer makes in optimizing his circuit. To enable fresh designers like students electrical engineering to become acquainted with analog circuit design structuring the analog design process is of utmost importance. Structured Electronic Design: Negative Feedback Amplifiers presents a design methodology for negative feedback amplifiers. The design methodology enables to synthesize a topology and to at the same time optimize the performance of that topology. Key issues in the design methodology are orthogonalization hierarchy and simple models. Orthogonalization enables the separate optimization of the three fundamental quality aspects: noise distortion and bandwidth. Hierarchy ensures that the right decisions are made at the correct level of abstraction. The use of simple models results in simple calculations yielding maximum performance indicators that can be used to reject wrong circuits relatively fast. The presented design methodology divides the design of negative feedback amplifiers in six independent steps. In the first two steps the feedback network is designed. During those design steps the active part is assumed to be a nullor i.e. the performance with respect to noise distortion and bandwidth is still ideal. In the subsequent four steps an implementation for the active part is synthesized. During those four steps the topology of the active part is synthesized such that optimum performance is obtained. Firstly the input stage is designed with respect to noise performance. Secondly the output stage is designed with respect to clipping distortion. Thirdly the bandwidth performance is designed which may require the addition of an additional amplifying stage. Finally the biasing circuitry for biasing the amplifying stages is designed. By dividing the design in independent design steps the total global optimization is reduced to several local optimizations. By the specific sequence of the design steps it is assured that the local optimizations yield a circuit that is close to the global optimum. On top of that because of the separate dedicated optimizations the resource use like power is tracked clearly. Structured Electronic Design: Negative Feedback Amplifiers presents in two chapters the background and an overview of the design methodology. Whereafter in six chapters the separate design steps are treated with great detail. Each chapter comprises several exercises. An additional chapter is dedicated to how to design current sources and voltage source which are required for the biasing. The final chapter in the book is dedicated to a thoroughly described design example showing clearly the benefits of the design methodology. In short this book is valuable for M.Sc. curriculum Electrical Engineering students and of course for researchers and designers who want to structure their knowledge about analog design further. to Structured Electronic Design Synthesis of Accurate Amplifiers Negative Feedback Noise Nonlinear Distortion The Loop Gain Poles Product Frequency Compensation Biasing DC Sources Design Example.
