  2. Common emitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_emitter

    A typical example of the use of a common-emitter amplifier is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Single-ended npn common-emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration. The AC-coupled circuit acts as a level-shifter amplifier. Here, the base–emitter voltage drop is assumed to be 0.65 volts.

  3. Center tap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_tap

    Nevertheless, this use is still relevant in the 21st century because tubes and tube amplifiers continue to be produced for niche markets. In analog telecommunications systems center-tapped transformers can be used to provide a DC path around an AC coupled amplifier for signalling purposes.

  4. Common collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_collector

    Conversely, a voltage follower inserted between a small load resistance and a driving stage presents a large load to the driving stage—an advantage in coupling a voltage signal to a small load. This configuration is commonly used in the output stages of class-B and class-AB amplifiers. The base circuit is modified to operate the transistor in ...

  5. Capacitive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_coupling

    Capacitive coupling is the transfer of energy within an electrical network or between distant networks by means of displacement current between circuit(s) nodes, induced by the electric field. This coupling can have an intentional or accidental effect. Capacitive coupling from high-voltage power lines can light a lamp continuously at low intensity.

  6. Output transformerless - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_transformerless

    Output transformerless (OTL) is a type of vacuum tube audio power amplifier, which omits an output transformer for the purpose of greater linearity and fidelity. Conventional vacuum tube amplifier designs rely upon an output transformer to couple the amplifier's output stage to the loudspeaker.

  7. Coupling (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(electronics)

    In electronics, electric power and telecommunication, coupling is the transfer of electrical energy from one circuit to another, or between parts of a circuit. Coupling can be deliberate as part of the function of the circuit, or it may be undesirable, for instance due to coupling to stray fields .

  8. Multistage amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistage_amplifier

    Simplified diagram of a 2-stage cascaded amplifier. A multistage amplifier is an electronic amplifier consisting of two or more single-stage amplifiers connected together. In this context, a single stage is an amplifier containing only a single transistor (sometimes a pair of transistors) or other active device.

  9. Common source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_source

    The only terminal remaining is the source. This is a common-source FET circuit. The analogous bipolar junction transistor circuit may be viewed as a transconductance amplifier or as a voltage amplifier. (See classification of amplifiers). As a transconductance amplifier, the input voltage is seen as modulating the current going to the load.
