Advantages of Nodal Analysis • Solves directly for node voltages. • Current sources are easy. • Voltage sources are either very easy or somewhat difficult. • Works best for circuits with few nodes. • Works for any circuit. ECE 201 Lect-11 2

Advantages of Loop Analysis • Solves directly for some currents. • Voltage sources are easy. • Current sources are either very easy or somewhat difficult. • Works best for circuits with few loops. ECE 201 Lect-11 3

Disadvantages of Loop Analysis • Some currents must be computed from loop currents. • Does not work with non-planar circuits. • Choosing the supermesh may be difficult. • FYI: PSpice uses a nodal analysis approach ECE 201 Lect-11 4

Where We Are • Nodal analysis is a technique that allows us to analyze more complicated circuits than those in Chapter 2. • We have developed nodal analysis for circuits with independent current sources. • We now look at circuits with dependent sources and with voltage sources. ECE 201 Lect-11 5

Why an Emitter Follower Amplifier? • The output voltage is almost the same as the input voltage (for small signals, at least). • To a circuit connected to the input, the EF amplifier looks like a 180 k. W resistor. • To a circuit connected to the output, the EF amplifier looks like a voltage source connected to a 10 W resistor. ECE 201 Lect-11 7
