  2. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    The output impedance is a measure of the source's propensity to drop in voltage when the load draws current, the source network being the portion of the network that transmits and the load network being the portion of the network that consumes. Because of this the output impedance is sometimes referred to as the source impedance or internal ...

  3. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. [2]

  4. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    In electrical engineering, impedance matching is the practice of designing or adjusting the input impedance or output impedance of an electrical device for a desired value. Often, the desired value is selected to maximize power transfer or minimize signal reflection .

  5. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    Low output impedance is important for low-impedance loads; for these loads, the voltage drop across the output impedance effectively reduces the open-loop gain. In configurations with a voltage-sensing negative feedback, the output impedance of the amplifier is effectively lowered; thus, in linear applications, op-amp circuits usually exhibit a ...

  6. Gain (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(electronics)

    The power gain can be calculated using voltage instead of power using Joule's first law = /; the formula is: = ⁡ . In many cases, the input impedance and output impedance are equal, so the above equation can be simplified to:

  7. Common-mode signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-mode_signal

    For sensors with very high output impedance that require very high common-mode rejection ratio, a differential amplifier is combined with input buffers to form an instrumentation amplifier. An inductor where a pair of signaling wires follow the same path through the inductor, e.g. in a bifilar winding configuration such as used in Ethernet ...

  8. Impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance

    Impedance (accelerator physics), a characterization of the self interaction of a charged particle beam; Nominal impedance, approximate designed impedance; Impedance matching, the adjustment of input impedance and output impedance; Mechanical impedance, a measure of opposition to motion of a structure subjected to a force

  9. Common emitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_emitter

    The output of a common emitter amplifier is inverted; i.e. for a sine wave input signal, the output signal is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the input. [ 1 ] In this circuit, the base terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the collector is the output, and the emitter is common to both (for example, it may be tied to ground ...
