LC Oscillator Circuit - Definition, Types and Equation: Oscillators, which use inductance-capacitance (L-C) circuits as their tank or oscillatory circuits are called LC Oscillator. LC Oscillator are very popular for…
Frequency Stability of Oscillator: An oscillator having initially been set at a particular frequency does not maintain its initial frequency, but instead drift and wander about in frequency, sometimes uniformly…
Photodetectors - Definition and Applications: Photodetectors are the semiconductor devices that can detect optical signals through electronic processes. The extension of coherent and incoherent light sources into the far-infrared region…
Miller Sweep Circuit and Miller Bootstrap Sweep Circuit: The basic R-C sweep circuit is shown in Fig. 30.134, in which opening of switch S provides sweep voltage, as already explained…
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…
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…
