Hi folks - I'm trying to follow along in a textbook the derivation of the common-base current gain equation, and I'm having a bit of trouble. The common base current gain is supposed to be approximately \alpha, where \alpha = \frac{\beta}{\beta+1}. Doing a nodal analysis with the signal applied...

ok so if we have an amplifier with direct negative feedback we have a voltage follower if we put a resistor between that inverting input pin and ground, we can do these things: if we put another resistor between the output and the inverting input we can adjust the gain if, instead, we...

I have recently built a 12 watt amplifier spec'd by G. Randy Sloan. The problem I am having is many fold. 1.) I am not an EE and learning as I am going 2.) The amp WILL carry a signal but so far I have only been able to use it as a passive circuit. 3.)The output leads don't provide an...

I am making a circuit of a car toy. Actually, i have already done its first step. The next step i want to make a one which is able to reverse and i think i will need an amplifier which can work in both biases (foward and reverse). So do exist amplifiers that can work in reverse as well as in...
