•Maximum rate of change that the output voltage of an amplifier can exhibit is also
limited. The limits are again set by DC supplies through the bias point of devices.
•DC power supplies are needed in amplifiers to function as the source of power
delivered to the output.
•Linear models using dependent sources can be used to model electronic amplifiers
only if the operating point of various devices in the amplifier undergoes only small
perturbations (typically <15%) around their Q-points.
•The output waveshape will suffer non-linear distortion when the input to an ampli-
fier is a large-signal. There may be clipping distortion too if the input signal ...
