Graphene has already brought us the world's smallest transistor – twice – and now the one atom thick form of carbon that recently won its discoverers the Nobel Prize has been used to create a ...

Reading an article about the first transistorized Hi-Fi amplifier, [Netzener] got the itch to make one. But what to use for the starting point? Enter an old Radio Shack P-Box stereo amplifier kit.

Researchers from the University of California – Riverside and Rice University have made the first single-transistor amplifier from graphene. The device is better than conventional amplifiers thanks to ...

There is so much to learn about the single-transistor amplifier, that this brief tutorial hardly scratches the surface. This discussion considers only the common-emitter configuration as applied to ...

Q: What is the difference between a hybrid amplifier and a tube amplifier? I have seen both advertised, and both seem to use tubes. Is there any difference? — B.P., Youngstown, Ohio A: Tube amplifiers ...

San Francisco, CA. Qorvo at IMS 2016 highlighted several new products and features. The company debuted six new 50-V GaN transistors and said that its QPD1000 15-W GaN on SiC wideband input-matched ...

Research that capitalizes on the wide-ranging capabilities of graphene could lead to circuit applications that are far more compact and versatile than what is now feasible with silicon-based ...

Millions of guitar player can’t be wrong. Well over 80% of guitar amplifiers new and existing still use vacuum tubes. Based on my experience, that could really be over 90%. Nevertheless, most guitar ...

There appears to be 16 large transisitors which were mounted to the heatsink of this amplifier. It is a Planet Audio 4 channel car audio amp. From some quick Google searching, it looks like I should ...

The goal of this series is to maximize the voltage gain of the single transistor amplifier. I had always thought that hFE had a profound effect upon voltage gain, so I set out to determine how ...
