Graphical methods are developed for the analysis and design of electronic circuits, with inherent accuracies superior to those obtainable from small-signal equivalent circuits. Among the typical examples outlined are the emitter follower, the common-emitter with external emitter resistance, the Darlington Pair, the cascode amplifier, and various diode and transistor clipping circuits. Once mastered, the methods can be extended to other and more complex circuits, and to transient analysis.
