1Common base — Figure 1: Basic NPN common base circuit (neglecting biasing details). In electronics, a common base (also known as grounded base) amplifier is one of three basic single stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used… …
2Emitter-coupled logic — Motorola ECL 10,000 basic gate circuit diagram[1] In electronics, emitter coupled logic (ECL), is a logic family that achieves high speed by using an overdriven BJT differential amplifier with single ended input, whose emitter current is limited… …
3Differential amplifier — symbol The inverting and non inverting inputs are distinguished by − and + symbols (respectively) placed in the amplifier triangle. Vs+ and Vs− are the power supply voltages; they are often omitted from the diagram for simplicity, but of course… …
4Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
5Current source — Figure 1: An ideal current source, I, driving a resistor, R, and creating a voltage V A current source is an electrical or electronic device that delivers or absorbs electric current. A current source is the dual of a voltage source. The term… …
6Miller theorem — refers to the process of creating equivalent circuits. It asserts that a floating impedance element supplied by two voltage sources connected in series may be split into two grounded elements with corresponding impedances. There is also a dual… …

8Current-to-voltage converter — In electronics, a transimpedance amplifier is an amplifier that converts current to voltage. Its input ideally has zero impedance, and the input signal is a current. Its output may have low impedance, or in high frequency applications, may be… …
9semiconductor device — ▪ electronics Introduction electronic circuit component made from a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (hence semiconductor). Such devices have found wide applications because of their compactness, reliability,… …
10Cascode — The cascode is a two stage amplifier composed of a transconductance amplifier followed by a current buffer. Compared to a single amplifier stage, this combination may have one or more of the following advantages: higher input output isolation,… …
