  • Chapter 7: AC Transistor Amplifiers
    Chapter 7: Transistors, part 2 Chapter 7: AC Transistor Amplifiers The transistor amplifiers that we studied in the last chapter have some serious problems for use in AC signals. Their most serious shortcoming is that there is a “dead region” where small signals do not turn on the transistor. So, if your signal is smaller than 0.6 V, or if it is negative, the transistor does not conduct and the amplifier does not work. Design goals for an AC amplifier Before moving on to making a better AC amplifier, let’s define some useful terms. We define the output range to be the range of possible output voltages. We refer to the maximum and minimum output voltages as the rail voltages and the output swing is the difference between the rail voltages. The input range is the range of input voltages that produce outputs which are not at either rail voltage. Our goal in designing an AC amplifier is to get an input range and output range which is symmetric around zero and ensure that there is not a dead region. To do this we need make sure that the transistor is in conduction for all of our input range. How does this work? We do it by adding an offset voltage to the input to make sure the voltage presented to the transistor’s base with no input signal, the resting or quiescent voltage , is well above ground. In lab 6, the function generator provided the offset, in this chapter we will show how to design an amplifier which provides its own offset.

  • Digital Audio Basics
    INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL AUDIO This updated guide has been adapted from the full article at http://www.itrainonline.org to incorporate new hardware and software terms. Types of audio files There are two most important parameters you will be thinking about when working with digital audio: sound quality and audio file size. Sound quality will be your major concern if you want to broadcast your programme on FM. Incidentally, the size of an audio file influences your computer performance – big audio files take up a lot of hard disc space and use a lot of processor power when played back. These two parameters are interdependent – the better the sound quality, the bigger the file size, which was a big challenge for those who needed to produce small audio files, but didn’t want to compromise the sound quality. That is why people and companies tried to create digital formats that would maintain the quality of the original audio, while reducing its size. Which brings us to the most common audio formats you will come across: wav and MP3. wav files Wav files are proprietary Microsoft format and are probably the simplest of the common formats for storing audio samples. Unlike MP3 and other compressed formats, wavs store samples "in the raw" where no pre-processing is required other that formatting of the data. Therefore, because they store raw audio, their size can be many megabytes, and much bigger than MP3. The quality of a wav file maintains the quality of the original. Which means that if an interview is recorded in the high sound quality, the wav file will be also high quality.

  • ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations
    ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations 8 March 2018 In this lecture, we will go back to Section 7.3, and the basic configurations of MOSFET amplifiers will be studied similar to that of BJT. Previously, it has been shown that with the transistor DC biased at the appropriate point (Q point or operating point), linear relations can be derived between the small voltage signal and current signal. We will continue this analysis with MOSFETs, starting with the common-source amplifier. 1 Common-Source (CS) Amplifier The common-source (CS) amplifier for MOSFET is the analogue of the common- emitter amplifier for BJT. Its popularity arises from its high gain, and that by cascading a number of them, larger amplification of the signal can be achieved. 1.1 Chararacteristic Parameters of the CS Amplifier Figure 1(a) shows the small-signal model for the common-source amplifier. Here, RD is considered part of the amplifier and is the resistance that one measures between the drain and the ground. The small-signal model can be replaced by its hybrid-π model as shown in Figure 1(b). Then the current induced in the output port is i = −gmvgs as indicated by the current source. Thus vo = −gmvgsRD (1.1) By inspection, one sees that Rin = 1; vi = vsig; vgs = vi (1.2) Thus the open-circuit voltage gain is vo Avo = = −gmRD (1.3) vi Printed on March 14, 2018 at 10 : 48: W.C.

The junction field-effect transistor, or JFET, uses voltage applied across a reverse-biased PN junc- tion to control the width of that junction’s depletion region, which then controls the conduc- tivity of a semiconductor channel through which the controlled current moves. Another type of field-effect device – the insulated gate field-effect transistor, or IGFET – exploits a similar principle of a depletion region controlling conductivity through a semiconductor channel, but it differs primarily from the JFET in that there is no direct connection between the gate lead 301 302 CHAPTER 6. INSULATED-GATE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS and the semiconductor material itself. Rather, the gate lead is insulated from the transistor body by a thin barrier, hence the term insulated gate. This insulating barrier acts like the di- electric layer of a capacitor, and allows gate-to-source voltage to influence the depletion region electrostatically rather than by direct connection. In addition to a choice of N-channel versus P-channel design, IGFETs come in two major types: enhancement and depletion.

  • Differential Amplifiers
    www.getmyuni.com Operational Amplifiers: The operational amplifier is a direct-coupled high gain amplifier usable from 0 to over 1MH Z to which feedback is added to control its overall response characteristic i.e. gain and bandwidth. The op-amp exhibits the gain down to zero frequency. Such direct coupled (dc) amplifiers do not use blocking (coupling and by pass) capacitors since these would reduce the amplification to zero at zero frequency. Large by pass capacitors may be used but it is not possible to fabricate large capacitors on a IC chip. The capacitors fabricated are usually less than 20 pf. Transistor, diodes and resistors are also fabricated on the same chip. Differential Amplifiers: Differential amplifier is a basic building block of an op-amp. The function of a differential amplifier is to amplify the difference between two input signals. How the differential amplifier is developed? Let us consider two emitter-biased circuits as shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1 The two transistors Q1 and Q2 have identical characteristics. The resistances of the circuits are equal, i.e. RE1 = R E2, RC1 = R C2 and the magnitude of +VCC is equal to the magnitude of �VEE. These voltages are measured with respect to ground. To make a differential amplifier, the two circuits are connected as shown in fig. 1. The two +VCC and �VEE supply terminals are made common because they are same. The two emitters are also connected and the parallel combination of RE1 and RE2 is replaced by a resistance RE. The two input signals v1 & v2 are applied at the base of Q1 and at the base of Q2.

  • Building a Vacuum Tube Amplifier
    Brian Large Physics 398 EMI Final Report Building a Vacuum Tube Amplifier First, let me preface this paper by saying that I will try to write it for the idiot, because I knew absolutely nothing about amplifiers before I started. Project Selection I had tried putting together a stomp box once before (in high school), with little success, so the idea of building something as a project for this course intrigued me. I also was intrigued with building an amplifier because it is the part of the sound creation process that I understand the least. Maybe that’s why I’m not an electrical engineer. Anyways, I already own a solid-state amplifier (a Fender Deluxe 112 Plus), so I decided that it would be nice to add a tube amp. I drew up a list of “Things I wanted in an Amplifier” and began to discuss the matters with the course instructor, Professor Steve Errede, and my lab TA, Dan Finkenstadt. I had decided I wanted a class AB push-pull amp putting out 10-20 Watts. I had decided against a reverb unit because it made the schematic much more complicated and would also cost more. With these decisions in mind, we decided that a Fender Tweed Deluxe would be the easiest to build that fit my needs. The Deluxe schematic that I built my amp off of was a 5E3, built by Fender from 1955-1960 (Figure 1). The reason we chose such an old amp is because they sound great and their schematics are considerably easier to build.

  • Eimac Care and Feeding of Tubes Part 3
    SECTION 3 ELECTRICAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 CLASS OF OPERATION Most power grid tubes used in AF or RF amplifiers can be operated over a wide range of grid bias voltage (or in the case of grounded grid configuration, cathode bias voltage) as determined by specific performance requirements such as gain, linearity and efficiency. Changes in the bias voltage will vary the conduction angle (that being the portion of the 360° cycle of varying anode voltage during which anode current flows.) A useful system has been developed that identifies several common conditions of bias voltage (and resulting anode current conduction angle). The classifications thus assigned allow one to easily differentiate between the various operating conditions. Class A is generally considered to define a conduction angle of 360°, class B is a conduction angle of 180°, with class C less than 180° conduction angle. Class AB defines operation in the range between 180° and 360° of conduction. This class is further defined by using subscripts 1 and 2. Class AB1 has no grid current flow and class AB2 has some grid current flow during the anode conduction angle. Example Class AB2 operation - denotes an anode current conduction angle of 180° to 360° degrees and that grid current is flowing. The class of operation has nothing to do with whether a tube is grid- driven or cathode-driven. The magnitude of the grid bias voltage establishes the class of operation; the amount of drive voltage applied to the tube determines the actual conduction angle. The anode current conduction angle will determine to a great extent the overall anode efficiency.
