  This correspondence presents an open-source tool AutoAmp developed at the
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. It is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/autoamp-iitg/ This tool helps the user to
design different types of electronic amplifiers, using solid state devices, for
a given specification. It can handle several types of designs namely
common-emitter BJT amplifier (single and two-stage), operational amplifiers
(inverting and non-inverting) and power amplifier. Not only does it design the
amplifier, it also simulates the designed amplifier using SPICE simulator and
displays the performance curves. This tool is deemed to prove invaluable in
undergraduate teaching and labs. Especially in electronics-design related
laboratories, the student need not design the amplifiers which are mostly the
heart of many electronic designs.
