We are studying single transistor amplifiers, and in the text where the collector resistance of the CE amplifier, Ric, is derived, the final equation is
Ric = ro[1+gm(Re||r∏)] (approximation)
This equation is highlighted and emphasized as something we should remember, then shown again in a large blue box on the next page as a "Design Note" (large emphasis in this text).
However in the table at the end of the section that summarizes the CE/CS amplifier design summary, and the big table at the end of the chapter that lists the design summary for all of the BJT amplifiers, the equation is given as
Ric = ro(1+gm*Re)
I have been looking for hours and there is nowhere that I can find where this transition takes place. The text is Microelectronic Circuit Design, 4th edition by Jaeger and Blalock. I am at a loss.
