TweetDC Biasing & AC Performance Analysis of BJT and FET Differential Amplifier Sub-circuits with Active Loads Any op-amp worth its salt has a differential amplifier at its front end, and you’re nobody if you can’t design one yourself. So, this article presents a general method for biasing and analyzing the performance characteristics of single-stage BJT [...]

TweetThis post is about amplifiers, how they work, and common applications. I will cover several operational amplifier configurations, and situations where each might be useful. This is part I of II for general discussion about amplifiers. Enjoy! Definition of an amplifier Definition (for Bioinstrumentation): Circuit that makes a small signal, usually voltage but occasionally current [...]
