AssignmentVoltage AmplifiersCharacteristics of Voltage amplifiersoThe input signal is the voltage signal and the output signal is also the voltagesignal.oThis is a VCVS device which is Voltage-controlled voltage source.oIt has high input impedance and low output impedanceAmplification Feedback topologyoIn this, the sampling is of Voltage and mixing is of series (series-shunt)topologyThe output voltage signal is sampled by the feedback network and thefeedback signal xf is a voltage signal which is mixed with the inputsignal voltage in series.Here the word “Series” is related to the connection at the input and thethe connection at the output is represented by the term “shunt” whichmeans parallel.oCharacteristics:This stabilizes the voltage gain.The series connection at the input gives higher input resistance.The shunt connection at the output gives lower output resistance.Current AmplifierCharacteristics of Current Amplifiers:oThe input and output signals are both current.oIt is a CCCS source which stands for Current-controlled current sourceoThis amplifier has low input impedanceoThis amplifier has high input impedanceAmplifier Feedback topologyoCurrent-sampling shunt-mixing (shunt-series) topologyThe output current is sampled by the feedback network and thefeedback current signal can be mixed with the source current inparallel.The term “Shunt” is related to the input connection and the term“series” is related to the output connection.Characteristics:oThis circuit stabilizes the current gain.
