Summary
The estimation analysis method is described in the context of sophisticated amplifiers. The purpose is to convince the reader of the usefulness of the technique by whetting their appetite with more complex systems. We start with a simple five transistor circuit and move on to comparators and cascaded amplifiers. All these are studied by applying simplifying assumptions followed by analytical solutions. Noise analysis and appropriate scaling techniques are also described in detail. The chapter further contains design examples and exercises to familiarize the reader more deeply with the methodology.
