Amplifiers Flashcards
Used to increase the amplitude of a signal waveform, without changing other parameters of the waveform
Amplifier
What are the parameters of the waveform that is not changed by the amplifier?
Frequency or wave shape
Small Signal -> Common Emitter -> ? -> ?
Class A Amplifier; Direct Current (DC)
Large Signal -> Common Base -> ? -> ?
Class B Amplifier; Audio Frequencies (AF)
Common Collector -> ? -> ?
Class AB Amplifier; Radio Frequencies (RF)
Class C Amplifier -> ?
VHF, UHF, and SHF Frequencies
Linear devices that have all the properties required for nearly ideal DC amplication
Operational Amplifiers (op amps)
Op amps is used extensive in s_ c_ f_ or to p_ m_ o_
signal conditioning; filtering; perfom mathematical operations
What are the mathematical operations that op amps can do?
Add, Subtract, Integration, Differentiation
In Op Amps, V1 represents?
Hint: I_ I_ or I_ A_
Inverting Input
Inverting Amplifier
In Op Amps, V2 represents?
Hint: N_-I_ I_ or N_-I_ A_
Non-inverting input
Non-inverting Amplifier
DVPS
Dual Voltage Power Supply
Very _ input impedance but very _ impedance on the output voltage
high; low
Vout =
Aol(V2-V1)
Aol refers to
Open loop gain
Importance of Op Amps to Analog Electonics
They make use of n_ f_ easy and straightforward and confer on any circuit where they are used.
Negative feedback
Importance of Op Amps to Analog Electonics
Op amps are still a p_ b_ b_ for analog systems, performing tasks like a_, a_ f_, and s_ t_.
primary building block; amplification; active filtering; signal transformation
The return of a portion of the output signal to the input signal (out-of-phase)
Negative feedback
If op amp has feedback, its operation is
Closed loop
If op amp is with no feedback, the operation is
Open loop
Formula for Output Voltage in Op Amps
Vo = Av (V+ - V-)
Op amps have two inputs, what is it?
Noninverting and inverting input
Input whose voltage is designated V+
Noninverting input
Input designated V-
Inverting
Most op amps have a s_ o_ lead, which carries the output voltage V_
Single output, Vo
Most op amp require d_ DC power supplies, designated _ and _
Dual; +Vs; -Vs
