Transistor Current Sweep Circuit: A simple transistor current sweep circuit is given in Fig. 30.143 (a). In the circuit the transistor is employed as an electronic switch and the inductor…
Sawtooth Voltage Generator Circuit Diagram and Waveforms: Figure 30.129 represents a basic sawtooth voltage generator. Switch S periodically changes its position from point 1 to point 2 (although a mechanical…
Peak to Peak Detector - Working Principle and Applications: A half-wave rectifier with a capacitor-input filter provides a dc output voltage roughly equal to the peak of the input signal.…
Clamping Circuit Theorem: Under steady-state conditions, for any input waveform, the shape of the output waveform of a clamping circuit is fixed and also the area in the forward direction…
What is Comparator in Electronics? - Classification and Applications A circuit used to mark the instant when an arbitrary waveform attains some particular reference level is called a comparator. The…
What is Clipper Circuit? - Definition and Classification Clipper Circuit is one which controls the shape of the waveform by removing or "clipping" off an unwanted portion. A half-wave rectifier…
Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA): The operational amplifiers considered up to this point have been voltage amplifiers. The input signal is a voltage and the output signal is a voltage. Another…
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) or Switching Regulators: Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) - The regulated power supplies described earlier were basically linear voltage regulators. A linear voltage regulator possesses…
