Week 7 Flashcards
Passive components cannot provide
energy into a network
Active components can provide
energy into a network
Passive components
Resistors, capacitors, and inductors
Active components
Voltage, current sources, and transistor amplifiers
What happens when the input impedance of the amplifier is infinite?
Input voltage, π£in, be equal to the source voltage, π£s.
For maximum
voltage
transfer to the amplifier
(SIL) or (ICF):
- π in should be as high as possible
β π in β« π s
At the output stage of the amplifier what is there that will influence the magnitude of the output
signal transferred to the load?
Output
impedance
Maximum
voltage
transfer to the load
(OCF) or (LIL):
β π out should be as low as possible
β π out βͺ π s
For maximum
current
transfer to a current amplifier
(ICF) or (SIL):
β π in should be as low as possible
β π in βͺ π s
