emitter follower

Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)

adjustable electronic component comprising at least three layers of semiconductor and, occasionally, of other materials, which can be turned to the on-state and vice versa

electronic device for amplification

amplifier which input and output are currents

modular, multistage amplifier with differential input and entire IC assembly with high amplitude ratio, high input impedance, and low output impedance

op-amp amplifier

amplifier whose input and output are voltages

Voltage amplifier

operating line for currents and voltages on the output characteristics for a fixed load

Load line

amplifier which amplifiers both the ac and the dc components of the input

connection of the output of one electronic component to the input of another

dcloadline

load line representing all possible combinations of the output voltage and current

Differential amplifier

amplifier whose output corresponds to the amplified difference between the two inputs

cascode amplifier

transconductance amplifier followed by a current buffer without direct coupling from the output to input

increase of current or voltage waveform

Qpoint

A dimensionless number that is the ratio of the maximum energy stored in a cycle to the energy lost in a cycle.

amplifier which amplifiers only the input ac component

two-stage amplifier

load line representing all possible combinations of ac voltage and current

ac load line
