SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the power supply voltage (Vcc), input resistance, and voltage gain for a push-pull amplifier circuit. The user calculated Vcc to be approximately 13.65V using the formula P=U^2/(2*R), but noted that this value is below the required range of 14-16V. The input resistance is expected to be high, but the user expressed uncertainty about how to begin this calculation. Additionally, the voltage gain determination was mentioned as a non-calculation task.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of push-pull amplifier configurations
  • Familiarity with Ohm's Law and power calculations
  • Knowledge of transistor parameters such as Ucesat and Vbe
  • Ability to interpret and analyze circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS

Homework Statement


1. Calculate Vcc and Vee(should be around 14-16).
2. Calculate the input resistance. (You should get a high value).
3. Determine the voltage gain. No calculation is needed.

Ucesat = 1 V
Poutmax = 10 W
Rl = 8 ohm
Icq9=Icq11=40mA
Re=0.47 ohm
R8=R9=1000 ohm
Vbe=0.7V


2. The attempt at a solution
1. I used P=U^2/(2*R)=>U=sqrt(P*2*R)=sqrt(10*2*8)=12.65V
Vcc=U+Ucesat=12.65+1=13.65 but this is less than 14.

2.Here i don't know how to start.

3.I don't know how to solve this either.
