Now construct a SPICE netlist for the multi-stage amplifier shown in Figure 2. Let RC= 10 kΩ,RS= 51 kΩ, and RREF= 200 Ω. Bias transistor Q1with VBE1= 560 mV. What is the small signalgain (Av1) b e tween vINand vOU T 1? What is the small signal gain (Av2) b e tween vOU T 1and vOU T 2?Using Av1and Av2, find the overall gain (Av,tot) between vINand vOU T 2.
