Description:
Created by Tony R. Kuphaldt, this chapter of All About Circuit's third volume on Semiconductors describes amplifiers and active devices. The chapter is divided into seven sections: From electric to electronic, Active versus passive devices, Amplifiers, Amplifier gain, Decibels, Absolute dB scales, and Attenuators. Each section has clear illustrations and a concise, bulleted review of what was covered at the end. There is also a link to the All About Circuits forums, where contributors and other visitors discuss the material presented. This is an excellent resource for educators in physics and electronic engineering classrooms to introduce lessons or units on amplifiers.
