Mullard Circuits for Audio Amplifiers is a famous book by the Technical Services Department of Mullard Ltd, a British valve manufacturing company. First published in 1959 and then reprinted several times it contained a number of designs by Mullard engineers for high quality audio amplifiers, which were to be used by amateur constructors as well as by manufacturers as the basis for many ...
Low frequency oscillations like motorboating indicate that some device or circuit with a large time constant is involved, such as the interstage coupling capacitors [6] or transformers, or the filter capacitors and supply transformer winding. [6] In vacuum tube circuits, a common cause is feedback through the plate power supply circuit.
The load resistance can often be varied rapidly in order to test the power supply's transient response. Just like a resistor, an active load converts the power supply's electrical energy to heat. The heat-dissipating devices (usually transistors ) in an active load therefore have to be designed to withstand the resulting temperature rise, and ...

In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.
The bootstrap circuit uses a coupling capacitor, formed from the gate/source capacitance of a transistor, to drive a signal line to slightly greater than the supply voltage. [10] Some all-pMOS integrated circuits such as the Intel 4004 and the Intel 8008 use that 2-transistor "bootstrap load" circuit. [11] [12] [13]
IC power-supply pins denote a voltage and current supply terminals in electric, electronics engineering, and in integrated circuit design. [a] Integrated circuits (ICs) have at least two pins that connect to the power rails of the circuit in which they are installed. These are known as the power-supply pins. However, the labeling of the pins ...
The magnetic amplifier (colloquially known as a "mag amp") is an electromagnetic device for amplifying electrical signals. The magnetic amplifier was invented early in the 20th century, and was used as an alternative to vacuum tube amplifiers where robustness and high current capacity were required.
