Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

There is so much to learn about the single-transistor amplifier, that this brief tutorial hardly scratches the surface. This discussion considers only the common-emitter configuration as applied to ...

The classic simple transistor AC amplifier ... value for. A 1 kΩ collector resistor and a 330 kΩ base resistor has never failed me for a small-signal self-biasing audio amplifier, I’m nothing ...

Usually targeted at audio applications ... with the 2N5401 PNP transistor (if necessary) and 2N5551 NPN transistor. In addition, for the input stimulus to the circuits, a 1-kHz waveform will ...

This monograph is concerned with the application of transistors to the audio-frequency amplifiers employed in sound broadcasting for which a high standard of performance is required. The ...

IR application note AN-948 depicts a source follower amplifier (Fig. 1). Admittedly, I’ve spent most of my time working on, and with, BJT-based (bipolar junction transistor) audio amplifiers.

1. Is Amplifier Weight an Indicator of Robust Amplifier ... constantly flowing through the output transistors even if there is no incoming audio signal, so the output transistors are always on. This ...

Steve reviewed audio ... and transistors to generate the amp's 18-watt-per-channel power output. Neuhaus shipped its first products in August 2009. What really distinguishes the T-1 from every ...

Starting with that headphone amplifier ... ±300mV to ±1.8V (silence to 62mW into the 16Ω audio load), with a special scheme to prevent over-charging the converter’s output capacitors at audio outputs ...
