FET Biasing Methods - Fixed Bias, Self Bias, Potential Divider Bias and Current Source Bias: Unlike BJTs, thermal runaway does not occur with FETs. However, the wide differences in maximum…
Thermal Resistance - Definition, Circuit Diagram and Equation: With power transistors, a designer often uses a heat sink to get a high power rating for the transistor. As already mentioned,…
Self Bias or Potential Divider Bias Circuit: This is the most commonly used biasing arrangement. The arrangement of Self Bias or Potential Divider Bias Circuit is shown in Fig. 12.17…
Crystal Oscillators - Circuit, Working, Advantages and Disadvantages: In crystal oscillators, the usual electrical resonant circuit is replaced by a mechanically vibrating crystal. The crystal (usually quartz) has a high…
Miller Sweep Circuit and Miller Bootstrap Sweep Circuit: The basic R-C sweep circuit is shown in Fig. 30.134, in which opening of switch S provides sweep voltage, as already explained…
Diode Clipping Circuit - Types and Applications: Diode Clipping Circuit - For a clipping circuit at least two components—an ideal diode and resistor are required and sometimes a dc battery…
What is Clipper Circuit? - Definition and Classification Clipper Circuit is one which controls the shape of the waveform by removing or "clipping" off an unwanted portion. A half-wave rectifier…
