Bhagirath: In the AC analysis for Spice the “gain” plot is really a voltage plot. If the input to
the amplifier is 1 “volt” then the output would be the gain (in volts, even though the plot is not so labeled). The Spice model in AC is generated without the actual limits of power supplies, etc. included (assume a two-port with R’s, L’s, C’s and gain elements).

In the a.c analysis, I had to give a small signal amplitude of 1V to get the proper response. If I give 10 mV as the small signal amplitude, I don't get the gain properly, it shows negative values. I am unable to understand why this happens. Should we really give 1V as the small signal amplitude? Please kindly clarify.
