Monostable Multivibrator - Operation, Types and Application: Monostable multivibrator is a two-stage amplifier with two states—one stable state and another quasi-stable state. The circuit has two transistors Q1 and Q2,…
Multivibrator definition and Types (Astable, Monostable and Bistable): A multivibrator is basically a two stage R-C coupled amplifier with positive feedback from the output of one amplifier to the input…
Silicon Controlled Switch (SCS) - Symbol, Operation, Advantages and Application: Silicon controlled switch (SCS), like the SCR, is a unilateral, four layer, three junction P-N-P-N silicon device with four electrodes…
Step Response of an Amplifier: An alternative criterion of amplifier fidelity is the response of the amplifier to a particular input waveform. Of all possible available waveforms, the most generally…
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS): With active load switching, the current drain with a low output is approximately equal to ID(sat). This may cause a problem with battery operated equipment.…
Generalized FET Amplifier Circuit: The analysis of a common source amplifier with a source resistance RS, a common gate amplifier and a common drain amplifier at low frequencies may be…
Common Drain JFET Amplifier or Source Follower: In the Common Drain JFET Amplifier circuit (also called the source follower), the output voltage is developed across source resistor RS. External load…
Operation of Oscillator Circuit: The use of positive feedback that results in a feedback amplifier having closed-loop gain |Af| exceeding unity and satisfies the phase conditions results in operation as…
