What is the working of a Darlington amplifier?

it is a combination of two transistors connected in series. the emitter of transistor t1 is connected to the base of transistor t2 . now the total circuit acts as a single transistor. this combination will gives high gain, as the gain is multiplied.

Working of npn transistor?

N-p-n transistor is made by sandwiching thin layer of p-type semiconductor between two layers of n-type semiconductor. It has three terminals, Emitter, Base and collector. The npn transistor has two supplies, one is connected through the emitter base and one through the collector base. The supply is connected such that emitter-base are forward biased and collector base are reverse biased. It means , Base has to be more positive than the emitter and in turn, the collector must be more positive than the base. The current flow in this type of transistor is carried through movement of electrons. Emitter emits electrons which are pulled my the base as it is more positive. these end up in the collector as it is yet more positive. In this way, current flows in the transistor. Transistor can be used as an amplifier, a switch etc.

When a PNP transistor is connected in a circuit it can be used as a power amplifier because?

A PNP transistor has no advantage or disadvantage over an NPN transistor in its ability as an amplifier. Rather, the current-handling capacities of the transistor determine if it's usable as an amplifier.


Difference between cascode and cascade amplifier?

cascade: the output of one amplifier stage is connected to the input of another amplifier stages, it's also connected in series. cascode: it said to be cascode, when it has one transistor on the top of another where a common emitter transistor drives a common base transistor.

Why is npn transistor called emmitor follower?

In an NPN transistor an emiter follower refers to an amplifier topology. The emiter follower configuration is when the emitter of a N-Type Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is connected to the common point on a circuit (typically ground). This is not always the case, however, because many amplifier configuration exist.

What is darlington configuaration?

A Darlington pair uses two transistors connected to behave as a single transistor with a very high current gain (beta). Transistor-1 has its collector connected to the collector of transistor-2. Transistor-1 has its emitter connected to the base of transistor-2. The base of transistor-1 with the emitter and collector of transistor-2 is used as a single transistor.

What is effect on amplitude shift keying modulation and demodulation due to use of transistor SL100?

The SL100 is a PNP medium power transistor, suitable for use up to ~100MHz. This can be used in the power amplifier stage, with the output connected to a tuning network/transformer + antenna for AM modulation. It's purpose, if used in this application, is to supply current (usually a voltage amplifier circuit will precede this one) to drive the antenna.
