I'm having a hard time understanding the "negative swing" of a common-emitter amplifier. There is a website called thesignalpath.com where a BJT amplifier is described. The set up is a BJT with a collector resistor, an emitter resistor, 2.5V and -2.5V supplies, and we're taking the output off the collector. The BJT has a Vce,sat = 0.2V According to the website maximum Vout = Vdd positive...

hi i am using a lockin amplifier for the 1st time other than a canned college lab demo i have a 5mV signal from a strain gage that is driven with 10Vpp at 1kHz or whatever i choose. the 5mV is increased to 5.01mV when i add some weight to the arm the gage is weighing. i wanted to increase sensitivity of this reading with the LIA since there is noise in the next digit, i.e. i read 5....

I tried to build this Class A amplifier circuit as a learning experience: http://www.techlib.com/electronics/audioamps.html#class-a with the following modifications: 1. I have no MPSW45, so I built a Darlington out of a 2N2222 and TIP31A. 2. 150k resistors: I only had two 100k resistors in my collection. But as long as they're identical, should work...??? 3. speaker: I had only a 10W...

Does anyone know a formula for calculating the power output of the TBA820M audio amplifier IC? The data sheet gives the following examples: supply (V) load (?) output (W) 12 8 2 9 4 1.6 9 8 1.2 6 4 0.75 3.5 4 0.25 but the output isn't consistently proportional to V^2/R (which was my


Why use amplifier with adc?

I don't know very well how adc works, so i have a question. Most adc have a Vref pin that defines Vin range of adc. Vin range of adc is then divider for 2^n (n=resolution) to obtain LSB. If i resize Vref, new Vin range (smaller) is divided for 2^n, so LSB has smaller value.If i have a sensor, why i shoud use amplifier to drive Vin pin of adc?can i resize Vref as i like (or there is a limit)? ...

Hi, I'm looking for plans for a 1 or 2 tube low voltage amplifier to go with a regenerative radio. Does not have to be the best, but needs to drive at least 250 mW speaker, preferably 1 watt or more. Thanks, Dave Australia

Examination of a full model of the whole circuit revealed that the parallel input resistance would actually go negative somewhere around 1MHz, exactly where dependent on source resistance. I got interested, and finished up doing a rework, addressing: Negative input resistance. Gain not unity, as claimed. Actually 4dB. Output operating point nowhere near Vcc/2, hence reduced output sw...

Not being able to find a small internet radio to buy we liked, we got mobile phone with which we link with wi-fi to a modem router, and use it as an internet radio. Keeping the phoned plugged into its charger all the time, we are using it to play *all-day* background classical music through an amplifier and speakers. Since the phone has no 'moving parts' unlike a computer, we are wonde...

Also - for building audio amps "on the cheap", would TIP41C/TIP42C do for output transistors in these schematics? Thanks, Michael
