The goal of this series is to maximize the voltage gain of the single transistor amplifier. I had always thought that hFE had a profound effect upon voltage gain, so I set out to determine how ...

[Paulo] just tipped us about an Excel based high frequency transistor amplifier calculator he made. We’re guessing that some of our readers already are familiar with these class A amplifiers, commonly ...

Reading an article about the first transistorized Hi-Fi amplifier, [Netzener] got the itch to make one. But what to use for the starting point? Enter an old Radio Shack P-Box stereo amplifier kit.

Transistors are tiny components that act like switches and amplifiers, driving the logic behind every digital device. In this ...

San Francisco, CA. Qorvo at IMS 2016 highlighted several new products and features. The company debuted six new 50-V GaN transistors and said that its QPD1000 15-W GaN on SiC wideband input-matched ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

It may not be to everyone's taste, but this brand new monobloc amplifier from McIntosh cleverly blends both vacuum tube and solid-state technology in one chassis. If you’re not a serious audiophile ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...

There is so much to learn about the single-transistor amplifier, that this brief tutorial hardly scratches the surface. This discussion considers only the common-emitter configuration as applied to ...
