driver amplifier
1Driver circuit — The driver ADP3418 chip (bottom left), used for driving high power field transistors in voltage converters. Above it is seen next to such a transistor (06N03LA), probably driven by that driver. In electronics, a driver is an electrical circuit or …
2Guitar amplifier — Mesa Boogie Mark IV, a guitar combo amplifier A guitar amplifier (or guitar amp) is an electronic amplifier designed to make the signal of an electric or acoustic guitar louder so that it will produce sound through a loudspeaker. Most guitar… …
3Valve audio amplifier - technical — Circuitry and performance Characteristics of valves Valves are very high input impedance (near infinite in most circuits) and high output impedance devices. They are also high voltage / low current devices.While valves themselves are described… …
4Switching amplifier — A switching amplifier or class D amplifier is an electronic amplifier which, in contrast to the active resistance used in linear mode AB class amplifiers, uses switching mode of transistor to regulate power delivery. The amplifier, therefore,… …
5Class-D amplifier — Block diagram of a basic switching or PWM (class D) amplifier A class D amplifier or switching amplifier is an electronic amplifier where all power devices (usually MOSFETs) are operated as binary switches. They are either fully on or fully… …
6Electronic 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… …
7Valve amplifier — A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that make use of vacuum tubes instead of solid state semiconductor devices (such as transistors). As any other electronic amplifier they serve to increase the power and/or… …
8Buffer amplifier — A buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another. Two main types of buffer exist: the voltage buffer and the current buffer. Figure 1: Top: Ideal voltage… …
9Line driver — In electronics, a line driver is an amplifier used to improve the strength of an analog or digital signal at its source by driving the input to the transmission line with a higher than normal signal level. This increases the quality of a… …
10Processing amplifier — Processing amplifier, commonly called ProcAmp, is used to alter, change or clean video or audio signal components or parameters in real time [ [http://www.kramerelectronics.com/glossary.asp?frm term=Processing%20Amplifier%20(procamp) Kramer… …
