Sub-EDC Sem-III

1. What is the effect of bypass capacitor and coupling capacitors on


frequency response of amplifier?

Ans:

2. State Miller’s Theorem along with formula.

Ans: i. In an amplifier circuit, if the impedance is connected in between the input and
output nodes, including a reference node ‘N’, then the connected impedance can be
changed through two impedances.

ii. One impedance can be connected between the input and reference node whereas
another one is connected between the o/p and the reference node.

iii. In the following circuit, if the ‘Z’ impedance is connected in between two nodes
like 1 & 2 then this node can be changed through two impedances like Z1 and Z2.
iv. Here the connection of two impedances can be done like this, impedance ‘Z1’ is
connected between the first node and ground terminal whereas impedance ‘Z2’ is
connected between the second node and ground terminal.

v. According to Miller’s theorem, the impedance effect ‘Z’ on the input circuit is a
ratio of the input voltage & the current ‘I’ which supplies from the input to the output.

3. Sketch and explain frequency response of CE amplifier.

Ans:
4. Draw MF, LF and HF equivalent circuit of the given circuit.

Ans:

5. Explain the steps for low frequency and high frequency analysis.
Ans:
6. Define fT and fβ.
Ans:

7. Why does the gain of an amplifier reduce at high frequency?

Ans:

8. Explain analysis of Series fed Class A Power Amplifier.


Ans.
Working:

i. Typically pairs of transistors or single transistors are used in amplifier circuits and
are biased to operate in class A mode.

ii. Transistors are biased to remain in one state.

iii. The resistor is connected in series with the collector.

iv. As input signal varies transistor modulates when input signal is positive the
transistor conducts more when it's negatived the transistor conducts less. This
modulation of conductivity results in the amplification of input signal.

v. Thus, amplified signals are taken out from the junction of the transistor and load
resistor.

9. Explain the analysis of Transformer Coupled Class A Power Amplifier.


Ans:
I. A form of class A amplifier having a maximum efficiency of 50% uses a
transformer to couple the output signal to the load.
II. This is a simple circuit form to use in presenting a few basic concepts.
III. Transformer increases or decreases voltage or current levels according to turn
ratio.
IV. iv. It can step up or step-down voltage applied to one side directly as ratio of
turns on each side.
V. Current in the secondary winding is inversely proportional to no. of turn in
winding.
VI. Voltage and current can be changed by the transformer, an impedance ‘seen’
from either side can also be changed.

10. Explain Complementary Symmetry Class B Push Pull Power Amplifier


and cross-over distortion.
Ans:
The push pull class B power amplifier improves efficiency but the usage of center
tapped transformers in its design makes the circuit bulky, heavy and expensive to
construct.

However, this limitation can be overcome by another type of class B push-pull


amplifier called a Complementary-Symmetry Class B Amplifier shown in figure (1).

It does not use transformers in its design therefore, it is transformerless using instead
complementary pairs of transistors and hence referred to as Transformerless Class B
Push Pull Amplifier. Push-pull amplifiers use two “complementary” or matching
transistors, one being an NPN-type and the other being a PNP type with both power
transistors receiving the same input signal together that is equal in magnitude, but in
opposite phase to each other.

As transformers are not needed, this makes the amplifier circuit much smaller and
simpler for the same amount of output, also there are no stray magnetic effects or
transformer distortion to affect the quality of the output signal.

Crossover Distortion

If the value of dc biased voltage is 0 both transistors are not on and the input signal
voltage should be larger than VBE before the transistor conduction.

Due to this, there is time interval between the positive and negative variations of input
when there is no transistor is operating.

11. Explain the concept of heat sink in detail required for a power
amplifier.
Ans: A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that cools a device by dissipating heat
into the surrounding air. It typically consists of a thermally conductive material
(usually aluminum or copper) with a large surface area to facilitate heat dissipation.
Heat sinks are crucial in power amplifiers, as these devices generate significant heat
during operation, which can affect performance and reliability.

Importance in Power Amplifiers

Power amplifiers, especially Class A and Class B designs, generate substantial


heat due to their operation at high current levels. If this heat is not effectively
managed, it can lead to:
I. Reduced performance due to thermal distortion.
II. Increased noise levels.
III. Shortened lifespan of components.

12. Explain Classification of power amplifiers along with comparison.

Ans:

13. Explain different configurations of differential amplifier.

Ans: A differential amplifier is a fundamental building block in analog circuit design, commonly
used for amplifying the difference between two input signals while rejecting any signals common to
both inputs.
14. Explain the operation of Differential amplifier for common mode input
voltage.
Ans:

15. Explain the operation of Differential amplifier for differential input


voltage.
Ans: A MOS differential amplifier is a type of amplifier that amplifies the difference
between two input signals while rejecting any common-mode signals that appear at
both inputs.

1. Basic Configuration: The MOS differential amplifier typically consists of two


MOSFETs, one PMOS and one NMOS, connected in parallel. Each MOSFET has its
source terminal connected to a common node (usually ground for NMOS and to the
positive supply voltage for PMOS), its gate terminal connected to one of the input
signals, and its drain terminal connected to the output.

2. Differential Input Signal: When a differential input signal is applied, one input (let's
call it Vin+) is connected to the gate terminal of the NMOS transistor, while the other
input (Vin-) is connected to the gate terminal of the PMOS transistor. This creates a
differential input configuration.
3. Differential Mode Operation: Let's assume that Vin+ is greater than Vin-. In this
case, the NMOS transistor will conduct more current, while the PMOS transistor will
conduct less current. This imbalance in conduction causes a voltage difference
between the drains of the NMOS and PMOS transistors, resulting in an amplified
version of the differential input signal at the output.

4. Common-Mode Rejection: Importantly, any common-mode signal that appears at


both input terminals (i.e., an equal signal and in phase at both Vin+ and Vin-) will not
cause a significant output voltage swing. This is because both MOSFETs will respond
similarly to the common-mode signal, resulting in little or no voltage difference
between their drains.

5. Output: The amplified differential signal appears at the output terminal, which is
usually taken as the voltage difference between the drains of the NMOS and PMOS
transistors.

16. Explain DC transfer characteristic of differential amplifier.

Ans:
17. Explain small signal analysis of Differential amplifier.

Ans:
