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 ...

Amplification is a process of increasing the signal strength by increasing the amplitude of a given signal with out changing its characteristics. Here we will concentrate how transistor is used as ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...

We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...

Efficiency is the name of the game in the design of power supplies. This is a major reason why switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are chosen for power-supply designs. However, even SMPSs have their ...
