Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

An Over-The-Top input stage is shown in Figure 1. At low common modes, the PNPs Q1 and Q2 form a conventional precision differential pair with tail current provided by I1. Figure 1 Over-The-Top Input ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Instrument amplifiers (INAs) are widely used for signal conditioning in data-acquisition systems and telemetry. Their ...

When used with other blocks and modules, a new approach to modeling operational-amplifier output impedance behavior can provide a more realistic overall behavioral model. Simulating the behavior of a ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...
