Designing an Amplifier Circuit with Single Source

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around designing an amplifier circuit that operates with a single power source, specifically addressing the challenges faced when connecting to a speaker circuit using NPN and PNP transistors. Participants explore alternative circuit designs and biasing methods to achieve the desired output signal.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their project involving an amplifier circuit and expresses the need for a solution to connect to a speaker using a single power source.
  • Another participant interprets the request as needing to convert the circuit to function with only a positive supply and ground, suggesting that biasing the output to half of the positive supply could be a solution.
  • A different participant mentions an attempt to connect the speaker between the two emitters of the transistors but reports that there was no voltage across the speaker terminals.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing views on how to modify the amplifier circuit to work with a single power source. Participants have not reached a consensus on the best approach or solution.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the clarity of the initial posts, and some assumptions about circuit design and biasing methods are not fully explored or defined.

hi ..

i am doing a poject for my college and .. i design the amplifier


but when i connect to the speaker circuit ...of cource u konw it

npn and pnp transistor ..


the proplem is that i have to get to source on +ve and _ve


is there any circuit that i can have the right signal
with one cource

i need a help over here so...

i waiting ..


this the circuit i need an alternative of the last part

my regards ..

I think maybe you're asking how to convert this circuit to work with just a positive +Ve supply and ground, with no symmetrical -Ve supply?

If so, just bias up the amp's output to half of +Ve. There are several ways to do this. Can you suggest at least two of the ways?

yeah .. some one told me to put the speaker between the two Emitter ..but when i did that there are no volt a cross the speaker terminal ..

but can put the circuit here ...
