  2. Direct-coupled amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-coupled_amplifier

    The direct-coupled amplifier was influential in the development of Fairchild's uA709 operational amplifier by Bob Widlar, which Noyce knew about as he was one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductors. The direct-coupled amplifier is also the basis for Philco's Mark I hearing aid, which used the circuit built with silicon alloy transistors.

  3. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    An operational amplifier (often op amp or opamp) is a DC-coupled electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input, a (usually) single-ended output, [1] and an extremely high gain. Its name comes from its original use of performing mathematical operations in analog computers .

  4. Push–pull output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push–pull_output

    DC current is cancelled in the output, allowing a smaller output transformer to be used than in a single-ended amplifier. However, the push–pull amplifier requires a phase-splitting component that adds complexity and cost to the system; use of center-tapped transformers for input and output is a common technique but adds weight and restricts ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    It is this steady state part that is the DC solution. There are some circuits that do not have a DC solution. Two simple examples are a constant current source connected to a capacitor and a constant voltage source connected to an inductor. In electronics, it is common to refer to a circuit that is powered by a DC voltage source such as a ...

  7. Bias tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_tee

    It does this by using a capacitor on the RF output terminal, effectively creating an open circuit for the DC current. [11] The incoming RF signal, or the one from the antenna, is the output for the DC power. This front-end of a bias "T" typically consists of a bandpass filter, a low noise amplifier, and a mixer coupled to a local oscillator. [11]

  8. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.

  9. Fully differential amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_differential_amplifier

    A fully differential amplifier (FDA) is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with differential inputs and differential outputs. In its ordinary usage, the output of the FDA is controlled by two feedback paths which, because of the amplifier's high gain, almost completely determine the output voltage for any given input.
