Guidelines: Must read!
1. Closed book, but one 8.5 x 11 sheet (two sides total) of your own notes is allowed.
2. You may use a calculator, but not any devices with an active network connection of any kind.
3. Show all your work and reasoning on the exam in order to receive full or partial credit.
4. Do not unstaple the exam. If you need to continue your solution on the back of a page,
indicate where the work is located in order to receive credit.
5. You have 50 minutes, and there are several problems with several sub-parts, so budget and use
your time wisely!

vbe/Vin =
(c) [3 pts.] Assume that gm is 0.03 in the units of part (b). What is the ratio Vout/Vin?
Vout/Vin =
(d) [2 pts.] If Vin = 1V, compute the power Pin supplied by Vin.
Pin =
(e) [2 pts.] Compute the power Pout delivered to R3 under the same conditions as in (d).
Pout =
Va/Vin =
(b) [2 pts.] What is the ratio Vb/Va? Note that R1 has a value of 1k, while R2 has a value
precisely N times as large.
Vb/Va =
5
c) [3 pts.] For this and all subsequent parts of this problem, consider the following modified
circuit in which one resistor has been added to the previous circuit:
iin
Vb/Vin =
d) [5 pts.] Provide an expression for the ratio of input voltage Vin to current iin.for the modified
circuit. Note that this ratio is the input resistance of the circuit. If you do not trust your answer to
part (c), you may assume, with reduced credit, that Vb/Vin = 100.
Vin/iin =
e) [3 pts.] What value of R produces an input resistance of 1G if N = 999? Again, if you do not
trust your answer to part (c), continue to assume Vb/Vin = 100, with reduced credit.

The op-amp is ideal and the diode conforms to the exponential diode law, iD = I S e , for
iD > 0.
a) [5 pts.] Derive an expression for iD in terms of Vin and Iin, assuming that both Vin
and Iin are positive.
iD =
Vout =
