Emitter Coupled Clipper Circuit: An emitter coupled clipper using two transistors is shown in Fig. 30.71. It is a two level clipper in which the input is applied to 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…
Difference between Linear Power Supply and SMPS: The Difference between Linear Power Supply and SMPS is given in table below Features Linear Power Supply SMPS Efficiency 25-50 per cent 65-75…
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…
What is Current Boosting in Voltage Regulator? Current Boosting in Voltage Regulator - IC723 regulator is limited to provide a maximum current of 140 mA. To increase its current capacity,…
What is Current Foldback? The current limiting technique maintains a constant load current at some specified value and under overload condition, the Vout drops to zero. But, in case of…
What is Current Limiting Protection? The circuit arrangement for IC 723 as low voltage or high voltage regulator has no protection. If short circuiting takes place (when load demands more…
