I've wondered for a long time how differential amplifiers are actually realised on the transistor level. Not having received a formal electronics engineering education nor being part of an assorted online community, that question lingered for quite a while unanswered - until yesterday. The ideal differential amplifier The differential amplifier (DA) is an electronic element … Continue reading A differential amplifier built with a current mirror

A better switching amplifier
Last year I wrote about A switching amplifier electronic design which can drive large power loads with high efficiency and tolerable distortion. The operational principle for this is that a pre-stage converts the input signal into a series of pulses which rapidly switch the end-stage on and off - that is a power-efficient mode of … Continue reading A better switching amplifier
