  2. Gain (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    A gain greater than one (greater than zero dB), that is, amplification, is the defining property of an active device or circuit, while a passive circuit will have a gain of less than one. [4] The term gain alone is ambiguous, and can refer to the ratio of output to input voltage (voltage gain), current (current gain) or electric power (power ...

  3. Common base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_base

    Nonetheless, the voltage gain is appreciable even for small loads: according to the table, with R S = r E the gain is A v = g m R L / 2. For larger source impedances, the gain is determined by the resistor ratio R L / R S , and not by the transistor properties, which can be an advantage where insensitivity to temperature or transistor ...

  4. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    An electrical ground system should have an appropriate current-carrying capability to serve as an adequate zero-voltage reference level. In electronic circuit theory, a "ground" is usually idealized as an infinite source or sink for charge, which can absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential. Where a real ground ...

  5. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    In the non-inverting amplifier on the right, the presence of negative feedback via the voltage divider R f, R g determines the closed-loop gain A CL = V out / V in. Equilibrium will be established when V out is just sufficient to pull the inverting input to the same voltage as V in. The voltage gain of the entire circuit is thus 1 + R f / R g.

  6. Virtual ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_ground

    In electronics, a virtual ground (or virtual earth) is a node of a circuit that is maintained at a steady reference potential, without being connected directly to the reference potential. In some cases the reference potential is considered to be that of the surface of the earth, and the reference node is called "ground" or "earth" as a consequence.

  7. Transimpedance amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transimpedance_amplifier

    Because of virtual ground at the negative input of the amplifier , ¯ = ¯ holds. We therefore get for the root mean square (RMS) noise output voltage , ¯ =. A high feedback resistor is desirable because the transimpedance of the amplifier grows linearly with the resistance but the output noise only grows with the square root of the feedback ...

  8. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    The ground loop still exists, but the two sides of the loop are close together, so stray magnetic fields induce equal currents in both sides, which cancel out. Break in the shield Create a break in the signal cable shield conductor. [5] The break should be at the load end. This is often called ground lifting. It is the simplest solution; it ...

  9. Miller effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_effect

    where is the voltage gain of the inverting amplifier (positive) and is the feedback capacitance. Although the term Miller effect normally refers to capacitance, any impedance connected between the input and another node exhibiting gain can modify the amplifier input impedance via this effect.
