The input signal to this amplifier is at the top of the 30 Ohm resistor, while the output is taken at the bottom. The resulting amplifier is very non-linear, so it’s best used for square waves ...

The simplest op amp comprises a few basic components: the input resistance, a gain element, and output resistance (Fig. 1a). The input resistance is between two input terminals and is connected to ...

For a silicon transistor, this is around 0.6 V so the output voltage on the emitter will always be 0.6 V lower than the input voltage on the base.

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Diode-connected transistors, for example a 2N3904 emitter-based junction with collector-base shorted, are expected to be used as sensors in many cases. For this situation, beta compensation is ...
