Electronic engineering
Doping
Engineering; Electronic engineering
Adding a dopant to a semiconductor to alter the way it conducts current.
Current amplifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier operated primarily to increase a signal current. Compare power amplifier and voltage amplifier.
Direct-coupled amplifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier in which the output circuit of one stage is wired directly to the input circuit of the following stage (i.e., there is no intervening capacitor or transformer). Such an amplifier can ...
Clipper amplifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier operated so that the positive, negative, or both positive and negative peaks are clipped in the output signal. The clipping action results from feeding a regular symmetric waveform into ...
Audio-frequency amplifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier that operates in part or all of the frequency range 20 Hz to 20 kHz. High-fidelity amplifiers function over a somewhat wider range (e.g., 10 Hz to 50 kHz).
Driver stage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier stage whose chief purpose is to supply excitation (input-signal current, power, or voltage) to the next stage. Also see driver.
Broadband amplifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An amplifier that has very wide frequency response, such as 10 Hz to 10 MHz. Examples are an instrument amplifier and a video amplifier.
