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 ...

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 ...

The transistor and the PWM-switch, the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations. They are active devices, and each has a key ...

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 ...

Physical concepts -- Characteristics, parameters, equivalent circuits -- Basic amplifier configurations -- Direct-current bias circuits -- Low-frequency amplifiers -- Power amplifiers -- High ...

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 ...
