Amplifier Definition and 544 Threads

Summary: So far, I have only dealt with ideal operational amplifiers, so I am kind of lost trying to visualize how a practical op amp should look like. A non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 10 uses 100K as its feedback resistor. It gets its input from a signal source whose source resistance...

Hi guys , i need help. How do i calculate C1? fu=25Hz

Everything is okay besides the current gain of this circuit, which is "g" there The formula of current gain is I_out/I_in If I call the current flows to R_e I_2, according to KCL, the following formula must be satisfied. I_in + (β+1)I_b = I_2 Therefore, to know I_in, we should use the...

Hello, I am using this little audio amplifier with my Maximite computer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQ44KLP/?tag=pfamazon01-20 I know that it's a best practice to use capacitors on the audio output from amplifier chips to filter out any extra DC current. I am under the impression that the...

My simplistic derivation below for a Class A amplifier shows that an AC signal at the input produces DC, fundamental, and 2nd harmonic terms at the output. This seems to contradict most the information I have found on this - which just states that the output is sinusoidal and of the same...
