    Power Amplifiers: Ranjith Office Level 4 - Building 193 - EEE Building

    Uploaded by

    Arambya Ankit Kalluraya
    This document provides a summary of key concepts from a lecture on electronic circuit design, including: 1) It discusses the behavior of an emitter follower circuit and how its output voltage decreases as the input voltage decreases, clipping the output waveform. 2) It covers the operation of a push-pull amplifier stage in class B mode and how varying the bias voltages affects the current flow. 3) It explains how to implement active level shifting to combine level shifting with amplification in a push-pull stage. 4) It provides a high-level overview of the main components in a typical operational amplifier, including the differential amplifier, current mirrors, gain stage, and output stage.

    Signal. VBE 0.767~ 0.8 V.

    I1= Ic+ Vout/RL

     However as Vin decreases, Vout also decreases, shutting off Q1 and resulting in a
    constant Vout.

     As Vin decreases the output waveform will be clipped, introducing nonlinearity

    DC coupled multistage

    In DC - coupled multistage cascade the output bias level of each stage increases to
    maintain the collector more positive than the base (constant current operation)

    If this voltage “stacking” is severe, little swing room is left in the final stages of
    the cascade

    One output gives same result as


    differential output
     The input differential pair decreases the current drawn from RL by
    I and the active load pushes an extra I into RL by current mirror
    action; these effects enhance each other. 14
