In this episode we are going to combine what we've learned so far and improve our emitter follower design using a current sink, allowing us to maximize the output voltage swing, distribute the power dissipation of our transistors, and make the design a lot more flexible.
Later in the video we'll go through some experiments on a breadboard to confirm that all the theory that we've seen so far holds true in the real world.

Sorry for the whole video being unfocused, I was looking at the camera screen while trying to focus without using the magnification to help me, so I ended up having the whole thing out of focus the whole time. I promise to make sure everything stays perfectly in focus during the next recording session.

The two 10k resistors in parallel with the base of the transistor would have an impedance of (10k + 10k) // Transistor_Base, correct?

[@josephcannon9908]

Also, how do you determine which lead goes where for the electrolytic capacitors? How do you decide whether to use a polarized electrolytic or non-polarized ceramic?

You explain everything very well, thanks!

[@Uraim]

what will be the current sink resistors?
A few omh? A few hundred oms? Or even Kilo ohms? I want to get rid of my huge chungus resistor on my class A amp and thats why, on reddit everybody recommended that technique :D

@8.43, no need to subtract Vbe1.

Great video! Thanks
