Classification of Power Amplifiers: Classification of Power Amplifiers are primarily divided into two categories viz. audio power amplifiers and radio power amplifiers. Audio power amplifiers, also called the small signal…
Difference between Voltage Amplifier and Power Amplifier: The Difference between Voltage Amplifier and Power Amplifier are discussed below The primary function of the voltage amplifier is to raise the voltage…
Cascode Amplifier or CE-CB Configuration: The CE-CB configuration (usually referred to as cascode amplifier) is shown in Fig. 16.44. Figure 16.44 shows a cascode configuration with a common-emitter (CE) stage…
Direct Coupled Transistor Amplifier - Operations and Equivalent Circuit: Direct coupling is essential for very low frequency (below 10 Hz) applications such as photoelectric current, thermocouple current etc. Thermocouples are…
Impedance Coupled Transistor Amplifier: A two-stage impedance coupled transistor amplifier using N-P-N transistors in CE configuration is shown in Fig. 16.37. The only difference between this circuit and R-C coupled…
Transformer Coupled Transistor Amplifier - Working Principle: The main cause for low voltage and power gains of an R-C coupled amplifier is that the effective load (Rac) of each stage…
RC Coupled Transistor Amplifier - Operations, Derivation and Applications: A two-stage RC Coupled Transistor Amplifier using N-P-N transistors in CE configuration is shown in Fig. 16.12. The two transistors used are…
n Stage Cascaded Amplifier: As already discussed, several amplifier stages are usually cascaded to increase the overall voltage gain of the amplifier. However, sometimes cascading is done to obtain the…
