Lecture
This lecture covers the analysis of circuits with dependent sources, including active circuits. It explains how to adapt circuit reduction techniques and analysis methods like node and mesh analysis to include dependent sources. The lecture also delves into node-voltage analysis with dependent sources, illustrating how to formulate node equations and solve for node voltages. Additionally, it discusses Thévenin equivalent circuits with dependent sources and OPAMP fundamentals, detailing the symbol, notation, voltage, and current definitions. The non-idealities of OPAMPs are explored, such as finite open-loop gain, nonlinear transfer characteristics, and input offset voltage. Basic OPAMP circuits like the inverting amplifier, non-inverting amplifier, and voltage follower are also presented.
