Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

This article presents the basic analysis and design equations of a 2-transistor configuration using both polarities of transistors: the “complementary” two-BJT configuration. Transistor combinations ...

Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Audio amplifier products are becoming more and more advanced in ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. During impedance matching, a specific electronic load (R L) is made to match a generator output impedance (R g) ...

THE properties of the amplifier to be described are entirely due to the type of transistor used, and the purpose of this communication is to report on its suitability for the amplification of ...
