Topic 49: Transconductance Comparison
Переглядів 234День тому
I made a mistake writing the equation for dynamic emitter resistance re. I think I might be slightly dyslexic (I do transpose digits, etc. fairly often). Anyway, the emission coefficient (eta) multiplies the numerator V_T and not the denominator Ic as shown. Sorry about the confusion. This is a more qualitative video comparing the transconductance of the devices we've been looking at so far in ...
Topic 48: The Source Follower and more Thevenin Analysis Techniques
Переглядів 43014 днів тому
In this video we will derive the voltage gain and output resistance equations for the class-A, common source amplifier. In order to derive the output resistance expression for the amplifier, more advanced Thevenin analysis methods are introduced. These methods are very general and are useful for analyzing circuits that contain dependent sources.

    Q2 collector should connect to -Vcc instead of ground. You said current flows from ground to RL to Q2 emitter to Q2 collector during the input negative half cycle - that is impossible if Q2 collector connects to ground directly. You have to create potential difference for current flowing. So, Q2 collector should go -Vcc.

    Nice video. I developed a method using the loaded gain, that is calculate the gain including the load resistance. The output power will be (Av*Vin)^2/RL and since maximum power transfer is achieved when RL=Ro then we differentiate this expression and set to zero to solve for Ro, i.e.; 2*dAv/dRL(@RL=Ro)*Ro=Av(@RL=Ro) it looks complicated but usually is much faster to get the full analysis this way since if you let RL go to infinity in Av then you'll also get the actual unloaded gain, so two birds one shot.

    • @leandrocarg
      @leandrocarg 7 днів тому

      There's one more method, when RL=Ro then the output voltage loaded will be half of the unloaded, so Av(unloaded)/2=Av(loaded@RL=Ro) and solve for Ro. This method is simpler because it doesn't require differentiation, though you still need to take the limit of the loaded gain as RL goes to infinity to get the unloaded gain.

    Hi there, i wanna limit inrush current to the "big" capacitors after the bridge rectiefier using mosfet's (witch is what i got at hand). If you would measure the voltage with a LM393 comparator and a CD4013 or and gate as latch to open the N channel mosfet on the positive rail fully. How would i apply this "trigger" to the mosfet on the negative rail? .... with close to 40 Volts difference. It works on the simulator, accept due to high voltage difference the mosfet on the negative rail is opening much faster (if you would use a capacitor delay). How can i tackle this?

I kinda felt like I walked into a room and was like woah, this is all way above me. What even is beta 🤷‍♂️ yeah it’s that bad. I love fixing stuff but have avoided the maths. I’ll go back to the start of your videos and work on my maths a bit I guess 😬. Great content though, thank you !

      @@Mark_C1hi, Mark. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I definitely approach this stuff from a very technical perspective. What I envision is to eventually cover the whole field from basic RC circuits through transistors, op amps, vacuum tube amps and effects circuit operation and design. I also do plan to add a few videos that are more descriptive at some point as well. I taught EE for nearly 40 years so it’s hard to get out of that mindset. I definitely will keep the use of calculus to a bare minimum though 👍🏻 As far as transistors go, you might start with Video 12 and see if it helps with some basic concepts. I probably should have done an introduction to transistors first but I couldn’t help but jump right into it. Again, thanks for the feedback. And hopefully some of the presentations will be informative and thought provoking.

    Sounds a lot like my experiences with Darlingtons back in the day as well. I always seemed to have better luck with Sziklais for whatever reason. Back in the 70s I would twist my dad’s arm to take me to a hamfest once a year and I’d try to find a good deal on power transistors, heat sinks, filter caps, etc.

      I think the bdx33/34 were low saturation voltage designed for switching only nothing linear, didn't know what that was at the time, I just used whatever I could get, most of what I made back then didn't work well!

    i when i was a kid with no money (early 90,s)i tried to use bdx33b and bdx34b as audio output , the bdx33/34 were plentiful from scrap barcrest fruit machine boards i was getting free, they use them to drive the lamp matrix ,they sounded really clear and livelly and werent oscillating but i could never control their thermal runaway. went to hitachi mosfets taken from dead disco / pa amps after that

    Sir, I'm just surprised finding you in UA-cam ! I'm currently reading your amazing book. I play electric guitar and recently I'm eagerly into electricity and audio circuits .Searching online, I found your book and reading the first couple of pages, I decided to read it deeply and seriously. I found it extremely great. It's a great book. Easy to understand, in plain English, supporting both solid state and vacuum tube electronics. Thank you for the book and being here in UA-cam. I'm a big fan. ❣❣❣

      Thank you!! I plan to keep putting out a lot more videos including tube amp design/builds. Stay tuned!!
