It’s common practice to series-terminatean op amp to match theimpedance of the load. This practicecauses a 3-dB loss of output power in thetermination resistance, however (Figure1). Newer op amps ...

Members can download the PDF ebook. A few engineers were having a debate. According to all the books, some of them said, op amps are supposed to have zero output impedance, or very low. That means the ...

The differential outputs provided by fully differential amplifiers (FDA) can be used in a positive feedback scheme to generate a partially active output impedance. Applying this technique, to set the ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

As you can see, there are a number of variables and the answer is simply not that straight forward. When conducting amplifier measurements, we tend to be a bit more forgiving with receivers than multi ...

Despite many of the myths that surround series networks and their acclaimed superiority over conventional parallel networks for loudspeaker design, both networks can be designed with identical ...

The mode of operation of the amplitude-modulated transmitter Class-C output stage is discussed, with particular references to the case where the load impedance varies over the working frequency band; ...

What are the risks when driving a 4 or 6 ohm speaker with a amplifier that is rated from 8-16ohm. The amplifier is an old Pioneer VSX-808, it´s my "PC speakers" and I´m using 4 ohm speakers as front ...
