Figure 1 The addition of a simple diode in the emitter circuit yields the symmetric waveform in Figure 4. Figure 2 This amplifier circuit produces the distorted waveform in Figure 3. Diode D 1 ...

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 ...

If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...

The circuit in Figure 1 sinks a constant current (ICE3) through Q3’s collector and emitter. This design is balanced so changes in Q3’s base-emitter voltage (VBE) don’t affect the current sink’s ...

All operational amplifier (op-amp) datasheets have an input voltage range limitation called the common-mode range. Strictly speaking, the common-mode voltage is the average voltage on the two inputs ...

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 ...
