6.33 An inverting amplifier with Ao = -2 V/V is driven with a square wave of peak values Vim and frequency f. With Vim = 2.5 V, it is observed that the output turns from trapezoidal to triangular when f is raised to 250 kHz; with f = 100 kHz, it is found that slew-rate limiting ceases when Vim is lowered to 0.4 V. If the input is changed to a 3.5-V (rms) ac signal, what is the useful bandwidth of the circuit? Is it small-signal or large-signal limited?
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier is an electronic amplifier designed to maximize the signal strength of a given input. The input signal strength is enhanced to a high enough level to drive output devices such as speakers, headphones, RF (Radio frequency) transmitters, etc. Unlike voltage / current amplifiers, the power amplifier is designed to drive core loads directly and is used as a storage block in the amplifier series.
Maximum Efficiency Criterion
In every field of engineering, there is a tremendous use of the machine and all those machines are equipped for their popular work efficiency so it very much important for operation engineers to monitor the efficiency of the machine, planning engineers to check out the efficiency of the machine before installing the machine and design engineers to design machine for higher efficiency than and then the utility will procure their products that will ultimately lead to profit and loss of the company. It indicates the importance of efficiency right from the initial stage as manufacturing units, intermediate stage as planning coordinators, and end-users stage as a utility.
According to the question, the gain of an inverting amplifier is A0 = -2 V/V.
The amplifier is driven with a square wave of peak value
With Vim = 2.5 V, it is observed that the output turns from trapezoidal to triangular when f is raised to 250 kHz.
For f = 100 kHz, it is found that the slew rate limiting ceases when Vim is lowered to 0.4 V.
If input is changed to 3.5 V(rms), what is the useful bandwidth of the circuit?
Is it small signal or large signal?
