  2. Audio power amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power_amplifier

    Audio stereo power amplifier made by McIntosh The internal view of a Mission Cyrus 1 Hi Fi integrated audio amplifier (1984) [1]. An audio power amplifier (or power amp) amplifies low-power electronic audio signals, such as the signal from a radio receiver or an electric guitar pickup, to a level that is high enough for driving loudspeakers or headphones.

  3. Guitar amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_amplifier

    Mesa-Boogie Mark IV, a guitar combo amplifier. A guitar amplifier (or amp) is an electronic device or system that strengthens the electrical signal from a pickup on an electric guitar, bass guitar, or acoustic guitar so that it can produce sound through one or more loudspeakers, which are typically housed in a wooden cabinet.

  4. Amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplifier

    An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the magnitude of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current). It is a two-port electronic circuit that uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude (magnitude of the voltage or current) of a signal applied to its input ...

  5. Ampacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampacity

    A single insulated conductor in free air has 70 A rating. Ampacity rating is normally for continuous current, and short periods of overcurrent occur without harm in most cabling systems. Electrical code rules will give ratings for wiring where short-term loads are present, for example, in a hoisting motor.

  6. Class-D amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class-D_amplifier

    Block diagram of a basic class-D amplifier. Note: For clarity, signal periods are not shown to scale. A class-D amplifier or switching amplifier is an electronic amplifier in which the amplifying devices (transistors, usually MOSFETs) operate as electronic switches, and not as linear gain devices as in other amplifiers.

  7. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    The ampere is named for French physicist and mathematician André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), who studied electromagnetism and laid the foundation of electrodynamics.In recognition of Ampère's contributions to the creation of modern electrical science, an international convention, signed at the 1881 International Exposition of Electricity, established the ampere as a standard unit of ...

  8. Phase margin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_margin

    Bode plot illustrating phase margin. In electronic amplifiers, the phase margin (PM) is the difference between the phase lag φ (< 0) and -180°, for an amplifier's output signal (relative to its input) at zero dB gain - i.e. unity gain, or that the output signal has the same amplitude as the input.

  9. RF power amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_power_amplifier

    An RF power amplifier Class C VHF power amplifier based on the transistor MRF317. A radio-frequency power amplifier (RF power amplifier) is a type of electronic amplifier that converts a low-power radio-frequency (RF) signal into a higher-power signal. [1]
