Domanda Risposta
What is the significance of the band gap in semiconductors?
inizia ad imparare
It defines the energy required to move electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, enabling conductivity.
What is the Early effect in BJTs?
inizia ad imparare
A variation in collector current due to changes in collector-base voltage, resulting in output conductance.
What does the Miller effect refer to?
inizia ad imparare
The apparent increase in input capacitance due to amplification of feedback capacitance in inverting amplifiers.
What is channel-length modulation in MOSFETs?
inizia ad imparare
A decrease in effective channel length with increased drain voltage, leading to increased drain current.
What is transconductance (gm) in a MOSFET?
inizia ad imparare
It is the rate of change of drain current with respect to gate-source voltage, gm = dId/dVgs.
What is a differential pair used for?
inizia ad imparare
To amplify the difference between two input signals while rejecting common-mode signals.
What is the gain-bandwidth product of an op-amp?
inizia ad imparare
It is the frequency at which the open-loop gain drops to unity; a key performance parameter.
What is a Bode plot?
inizia ad imparare
A graph representing the gain and phase of a system as a function of frequency, used for stability and frequency response analysis.
What is the Nyquist criterion for stability?
inizia ad imparare
A graphical condition that ensures closed-loop stability by avoiding encirclements of the −1 point in the Nyquist plot.
What is a pole in a transfer function?
inizia ad imparare
A value of s where the system's response becomes infinite, related to natural frequencies and stability.
What is a zero in a transfer function?
inizia ad imparare
A frequency at which the system's output is zero despite input; used to shape response.
What is slew rate limiting in op-amps?
inizia ad imparare
A non-linear phenomenon where the output cannot change faster than a maximum rate, causing distortion.
What does negative feedback achieve in amplifiers?
inizia ad imparare
It increases linearity, reduces gain, enhances bandwidth, and improves stability.
What is a phase margin?
inizia ad imparare
The difference between the phase shift and -180° at the unity gain frequency; indicates stability.
What is thermal runaway in BJTs?
inizia ad imparare
A positive feedback condition where increased temperature leads to increased current and further heating, potentially destroying the transistor.
What is a hysteresis loop in a Schmitt trigger?
inizia ad imparare
A voltage range where input changes don't affect output, used to eliminate noise-induced switching.
What is a Class AB amplifier's advantage over Class B?
inizia ad imparare
It combines high efficiency with minimal crossover distortion.
What is a phase-locked loop (PLL)?
inizia ad imparare
A feedback system that locks the phase of an output signal to a reference, used in frequency synthesis and clock recovery.
What is the Barkhausen criterion?
inizia ad imparare
A condition for oscillation stating that the loop gain must be unity and the total phase shift must be 0 or 360°.
What is parasitic capacitance?
inizia ad imparare
Unintended capacitance that occurs between parts of an electronic component or circuit due to proximity and layout.
