THEORY
Every electronic circuit is designed to operate off of supply voltage, which is usually
constant. A regulated power supply provides this constant DC output voltage and continuously
holds the output voltage at the design value regardless of changes in load current or input
voltage. The power supply contains a rectifier, filter, and regulator. The rectifier changes the AC
input voltage to pulsating DC voltage. The filter section removes the ripple component and
provides an unregulated DC voltage to the regulator section. The regulator is designed to deliver
a constant voltage to the load under varying circuit conditions. The two factors that can cause the
voltage across the load to vary are fluctuations in input voltage and changes in load current
requirements.Load regulation is a measurement of power supply, showing its capacity to
maintain a constant voltage across the load with changes in loadcurrent.

THEORY
A common emitter amplifier is type of BJT amplifier which increases the voltage level
of the applied input signal Vinat output of collector. The CE amplifier typically has a relatively
high input resistance (1 - 10 KΩ) and a fairly high output resistance. Therefore it is generally
used to drive medium to high resistance loads. It is typically used in applications where a small
voltage signal needs to be amplified to a large voltage signal as in radioreceivers.
The input signal Vinis applied to base emitter junction of the transistor and amplifier
output Vo is taken across collector terminal. Transistor is maintained at the active region by
using the resistors R1, R2 and Rc. A very small change in base current produces a much larger
change in collector current. The output Voof the common emitter amplifier is 180 degrees out of
phase with the applied the input signalVin.

THEORY
A common base amplifier is type of BJT amplifier which increases the voltage
level of the applied input signal Vin at output of collector.
The Common base amplifier typically has good voltage gain and relatively high output
impedance. But the Common base amplifier unlike CE amplifier has very low input
impedance which makes it unsuitable for most voltage amplifier. It is typically used as
an active load for a cascode amplifier and also as a current follower circuit.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
A positive-going signal voltage at the input of a CB pushes the transistor emitter
in a positive direction while the base voltage remains fixed, hence VBE reduces. The
reduction in VBE results in reduction in VRC, consequently VCE increases. The rise in
collector voltage effectively rises the output voltage. The positive going pulse at the
input produces a positive-going output, hence the there is no phase shift from input to
output in CB circuit. In the same way the negative-going input produces a negative-
going output.

THEORY
A common collector amplifier is a unity gain BJT amplifier used for impedance
matching and as a buffer amplifier.
Circuit Operation
When a positive half-cycle of the input signal is applied to Base emitter junction of
transistor the forward bias voltage Vbe is increased, which in turn increases the base current
IBof transistor. Since emitter current IE is directly proportional to Ib the voltage drop across
the Emitter VE= IERE is increased, hence, output voltage Vo is increased, thus, we get
positive half- cycle of the output. It means that a positive-going input signal results in a
positive going output signal and, consequently, the input and output signals are in phase
with each other. Similarly the negative half cycle of input signal produces negative going
outputsignal.
Characteristics of a CC Amplifier
1. high input impedance (20-500KΩ)
2. low output impedance(50-1000Ω)
3. high current gain of (1 + β) i.e. 50–500
4. voltage gain of less than1(unity)
5. power gain of 10 to20dB
6. No phase reversal of the inputsignal.

THEORY

There are three basic types of FET amplifier or common source amplifier,common
gate amplifier and source follower amplifier.The common-source (CS) amplifier may be
viewed as a transconductance amplifier or as a voltageamplifier.
i) As a transconductance amplifier, the input voltage is seen as modulating thecurrent
going to theload.
ii) As a voltage amplifier, input voltage modulates the amount of current flowingthrough
the FET, changing the voltage across the output resistance according to Ohm'slaw.
However, the FET device's output resistance typically is not high enough for a reasonable
transconductance amplifier (ideally infinite), nor low enough for a decent voltage amplifier
(ideally zero). Another major drawback is the amplifier's limited high-frequency response.
Therefore, in practice the output often is routed through either a voltage follower (common-drain
or CD stage), or a current follower (common-gate or CG stage), to obtain more favorable output
and frequency characteristics

THEORY

The Darlington transistor (often called a Darlington pair) is compound structure


consisting of two bipolar transistors connected in such a way that the First transistor
does current amplification of input signal and then it will be fed to the second
transistor which performs voltageamplification.

This configuration gives a much higher gain than each transistor taken separately
and, in the case of integrated devices, can take less space than two individual
transistors because they can use a shared collector. The Darlington amplifier typically
has a relatively high input resistance (1 - 10 KΩ) and a fairly high output resistance.
Therefore it is generally used to drive medium to high resistance loads. It is typically
used in applications where a small voltage signal needs to be amplified to a large
voltage signal like radioreceivers.

A cascode amplifier consists of a common emitter amplifier stage in series with a common
base amplifier stage. It is one approach to solve the low impedance problem of a common
base circuit. Transistor Q1 and its associated components operate as a common emitter
amplifier, while the circuit of Q2 functions as a common base output stage. The cascode
amplifier gives the high input impedance of a common emitter amplifier, as well as the good
voltage gain and frequency performance of a common basecircuit.

The cascode configuration has one of two configurations of multistage amplifier. In each
case the collector of the leading transistor is connected to the emitter of the following
transistor. The arrangement of the two transistors is shown in the circuit diagram. The
cascode amplifier consists of CE stage connected in series with CB stage. The arrangement
provides a relatively high input impedance with low voltage gain for the first stage to ensure
the input miller capacitance is at a minimum, whereas the following CB stage provides an
excellent high frequency response.

THEORY

A cascade amplifier has many of the same benefits as a cascode. A cascade is


basically a differential amplifier with one input grounded and the side with the real input has
no load. It can also be seen as a common collector (emitter follower) followed by a common
base.

By cascading a CE stage followed by an emitter-follower (CC) stage, a good voltage


amplifier results. The CE input resistance is high and CC output resistance is low. The CC
contributes no increase in voltage gain but provides a near voltage-source (low resistance)
output so that the gain is nearly independent of load resistance. The high input resistance of
the CE stage makes the input voltage nearly independent of input-source resistance. Multiple
CE stages can be cascaded and CC stages inserted between them to reduce attenuation
due to inter-stage loading.

THEORY

A differential amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that amplifies the difference


between two voltages but does not amplify the particular voltages. The need for differential
amplifier arises in many physical measurements where response from D.C to any MHZ is
required. It is also used in input stage of integrated amplifier.

PROCEDURE

DC ANALYSIS
➢ Set Vin = 0 by reducing the amplitude of the input signal from signalgenerator.
➢ Open circuit the capacitors since it blocks DCvoltage.
➢ Set VCC= +12v and measure the voltage drop across the resistor 𝑉𝑅𝐶, voltage across
Collector- Emitter Junction 𝑉𝐶𝐸and voltage drop across base emitter junction.𝑉𝐵𝐸.

MAXIMUM SIGNAL HANDLING (MSH) CAPACITY
➢ It is the amplitude of input for which the output is not distorted. Designed circuitcan’t
handle any input more than this amplitude (output start toclipp)
➢ For the safer side the half of the amplitude of MSH will be given as input to thecircuit
➢ Apply a sine wave input signal of any amplitude to the amplifier using the signal
generator to common emitter amplifier. Monitor the sinusoidal output using CROacross
RL.
➢ Vary the amplitude of the input from signal generator. Find the amplitude of the input
for which the amplifier output starts to clip/distort. The maximum amplitude of an input
which produces the output without any distortion is maximum signal handlingcapacity.

THEORY

The common drain FET amplifier is similar to the common collector configuration of the
bipolar transistor. A general common drain JFET amplifier, self-biased, is shown in the
circuit diagram below.This configuration, which is sometimes known as a source follower, is
characterized by a voltage gain of less than unity, and features a large current gain as a result
of having very large input impedance and a small output impedance.

PROCEDURE: -
Frequency Response:
1. Connect the circuit as per the Fig.1. Apply VDD of 15 V
2. Give a signal Vs of 100 mV(P-P) at 1KHz on the I/P side and observe the
O/P on CRO.
3. Vary the frequency from 50 Hz to 1MHz with proper intervals on the
input side and observe the output Vo on CRO
4. Draw a graph between frequency Vs Gain on Semi-log Graph Sheet and
find its Mid frequency Gain Amid
5. Draw a horizontal line across the graph at 0.707 Amid and find the Bandwidth.

To Find R0:

1. Keep Vs = 100mV (P-P) 1KHz Signal and find Corresponding output Vo.
2. Now without disturbing Vs Connect potentiometer across output and
observe the output on CRO.
3. Adjust the value of Potentiometer Such that the output falls to the Vo/2 value.
Note the value of the potentiometer resistance is the Ro of the JFET CD Amplifier.
