TERMS

Used to indicate AC quantities of rms, peak, and peak-to-peak currents and voltages Block DC and thus prevent the internal source resistance and load resistance from changing the DC bias voltages at the base and collector Parameters that are most commonly used for BJTs AC alpha (IC / IE) AC beta (IC / IB) re rb rc Input impedance ; Output shorted Voltage feedback ratio ; Input open Forward current gain ; Output shorted Output admittance ; Input open Common-Emitter Common-Base Common-Collector Amplifier that exhibit high voltage gain and high current gain Vcc terminal is at a zero volt ac potential The resistance looking in at the collector and is approximately equal to the collector resistor of the common-emitter amplifier The ratio of ac output voltage at the collector to ac input voltage at the base The signal voltage is reduced as it passes through a circuit The attenuation from the source to base multiplied by the gain from base to collector Provides an effective short to the ac signal around the emitter resistor, thus keeping the emitter at ac ground. The amount of current drawn from the output of an amplifier or other circuit through a load

resistance Measure of how well an amplifier maintains its design values over changes in temperature and other factors Method used to minimize the effect of re without reducing the voltage gain to its minimum value The product of the overall voltage gain and the overall current gain in a common-collector and common-emitter Ic / Ib or ac Usally referred to as an emitter-follower (EF) The voltage gain of a Common-Collector is approximately Amplifier that has high input resistance and current gain There is no phase inversion, and the output is approximately the same amplitude as the input It can be used as a buffer to minimize loading effects when a circuit is driving a low resistance load Configuration wherein the collectors of two transistors are connected, and the emitter of the first drives the base of the second One way to boost input resistance An amplifier that provides high voltage gain with a maximum current gain of 1 Has a low resistance, most appropriate type for certain applications where sources tend to have very low-resistance outputs Approximately equal to the voltage gain in a common-base configuration Amplifier in cascaded arrangement Amplifier voltage gain is often expressed in Prevents the DC bias of one stage from affecting that of the other but allows a signal to pass without attenuation because Xc = 0 at frequency of operation Used to amplify low frequencies all the way down to dc(0Hz) without loss of voltage gain because there are no capacitive reactances in the circuit

BJT amplifier produces outputs that are a function of the difference between two input voltages Type of operation wherein one input is grounded and the signal voltage is applied only to the other input Type of operation wherein two opposite-polarity (out-of-phase) signals are applied to the inputs Type of operation which is also referred to as double-ended Condition where two signal voltages of the same phase, frequency, and amplitude are applied to the two inputs When the input signals are applied to both inputs, the outputs are superimposed and they cancel, resulting in a zero output voltage Result of the pick-up of radiated energy on the input lines from adjacent lines, the 60Hz power line, or other sources The measure of an amplifiers ability to reject common-mode signals Uses only a small portion of its load line under signal condition Provides beta multiplication for increased input resistance Appears between the inverting and non-inverting inputs of a differential amplifier The resistance looking in at the transistor base The resistance looking in at the transistor collector
