Series fed class A

The term “series fed” is derived from the fact

that the load Rc is connected in series with the transistor output.

This is similar to the smallsignal

amplifier except that it
will handle higher voltages.
The transistor used is a high
power transistor.
This circuit is not the best to
use as a large-signal
amplifier because of its poor
power efficiency. The Beta is
generally less than 100.

Dc bias condition
 If the DC bias collector
current is set at one-half the
possible signal swing
(between 0 and Vcc/Rc), the
largest collector current
swing will be possible. If the
quiscent collector-emitter
voltage is set on one half the
supply voltage the largest
voltage swing will be
possible.

AC Bias Operation
A small input signal will
cause the output voltage
to swing to a maximum of
Vcc and a minimum of 0V.
The current can also
swing from 0 mA to ICSAT
(Vcc/RC)

Input Power: Series-Fed Class A Amplifier

The power into the amplifier is from the DC
supply. With no input signal, the DC current
drawn is the collector bias current, ICQ.

P(dc) = VCC ICQ

Output Power: Series-Fed Class A Amplifier

The ac signal Vi causes the base current to
vary arround the dc bias current and the
collector current arround its quiscent level
ICQ.
The ac input signal result in ac current and
ac voltage signals.

Using rms signals: the ac power delivered to the

load (RC) expressed:

Po(ac) =Vce (rms)Ic (rms)

Po(ac) = Ic^2(rms)Rc
P (ac)=( V^2 (rms))/Rc
Efficiency
The maximum efficiency is at maximum output and
current swings.
It is 25% for a Class A amplifier Maximum Efficiency

%η = (Po(ac)/ Pi(dc)) x 100

Kim pake type ang maximum efficiency tenx ^^
