    Study Notes

    Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits

    • Module 1 covers rectifiers, clippers, clamper circuits, transistor biasing, power amplifiers, feedback amplifiers, oscillators, and JFET transistors.

    Rectifiers

    • Rectifiers convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
    • Half-wave rectifiers use one diode.
    • Full-wave rectifiers use multiple diodes.

    Clippers

    • Clippers are circuits that only allow specific portions of a wave through (some are positive only, some negative only).
    • Series Clippers: The diode is connected in series with the input signal.
    • Shunt Clippers: The diode is connected in parallel with the input signal.

    Clampers

    • Clampers are circuits that shift the DC level of a signal without changing its shape.

    Transistor Biasing

    • Transistor biasing is the process of applying a DC voltage to a transistor's base-emitter junction to establish a desired operating point in the active region.
    • Methods include fixed biasing, collector-to-base biasing, voltage divider biasing, and emitter biasing.

    Power Amplifiers

    • Power amplifiers increase the amplitude of a signal.
    • There are different types of amplifiers based on how much of the input cycle the transistor is conducting, such as Class A, Class B, and Class AB amplifiers.
    • One example is a Push-Pull amplifier, which is a type of class B power amplifier.

    Feedback Amplifiers

    • Feedback amplifiers use feedback to modify amplifier characteristics (gain, bandwidth, and distortion).
    • Different types include voltage series, voltage shunt, current series, current shunt, transconductance feedback amplifiers.

    Oscillators

    • Oscillators generate an output signal without the need for an input signal.
    • Examples of oscillators include RC oscillators, Wien bridge oscillators, and Hartley oscillators.

    JFET Transistors

    • JFETs are voltage-controlled devices.
    • N-channel JFETs use n-type material with two p-type regions as gates.
    • P-channel JFETs use p-type material with two n-type regions as gates.

    MOSFETs

    • MOSFETs are voltage-controlled devices.
    • Enhancement-mode MOSFETs need a positive gate voltage for conduction.
    • Depletion-mode MOSFETs conduct even without a gate voltage, and the current decreases as the gate voltage becomes more negative.
