Feedback Pair Connection – Operation and its Equivalent Circuit

Feedback Pair Connection – Operation and its Equivalent Circuit: The feedback pair connection (Fig. 19.58) is a two-transistor circuit that operates like the Darlington amplifier. It makes use of a PNP transistor driving an NPN transistor, the two devices acting much like one PNP transistor. Like Darlington amplifier the feedback pair connection also provides a …

Bootstrapped Darlington Circuit Operation and its Equivalent Circuit

Bootstrapped Darlington Circuit Operation and its Equivalent Circuit: The maximum input resistance of a Darlington circuit is limited to 1/hob ≡ 2 MΩ, as 1/hob is the resistance between base and collector. However, the input resistance can be largely increased by bootstrapped darlington circuit through the addition of capacitor C’ between the first collector terminal …

Darlington Pair Transistor – Circuit Diagram and its Workings

Darlington Pair Transistor – Circuit Diagram and its Workings: A very popular connection of two BJTs for operation as one “superbeta” transistor is the Darlington connection. In practice, the two transistors are put inside a single package and three terminals E, B and C are brought out, as de­picted in Fig. 19.52. The main fea­ture …

Emitter Follower Circuit – Operation, Advantages and Applications

Emitter Follower Circuit – Operation, Advantages and Applications: Emitter Follower Circuit is also a negative current feedback circuit. This circuits exhibits a large input impedance, a small output impedance, and a voltage gain of approximately unity. Further the output voltage tends to be in phase with the input voltage—hence the term “follower”. At first glance, …

Voltage Series Feedback Amplifier Circuit

Voltage Series Feedback Amplifier or Shunt Derived Series Fed Feedback Amplifier: Voltage Series Feedback Amplifier Circuit is also called the shunt-derived series-fed feedback. Here the amplifier and feedback network are connected in series-parallel. A fraction of the output voltage is applied in series opposition to the input voltage through feedback network, as shown in Fig. …
