Experiment 1 :Push-Pull Amplifier

Theory

Power amplifier means the circuit that amplifies electric energy so that it can be changed as sound through the speaker, and push-pull circuit is used frequently.

In fig.9-2, when the input AC signal (Vg) is applied, the voltage is induced at the secondary part of input transformer(IPT). The upper voltage among the induced voltage on the secondary part of IPT is applied as forward direction to Q1 transistor and the amplified collector current flows through the output transformer(OPT). The lower voltage among the induced voltage on the secondary part

reverse direction to Q2 transistor and maintains the cutoff state. When the input AC signal(Vg) is applied in reverse direction, the voltage in the opposite direction of the arrow is induced at the secondary part of input transformer(IPT). When the reverse voltage is applied to two transistors, Q1 transistor is cut off in reverse direction, but Q2 transistor becomes forward direction so the amplified collector current flows through the output transformer.

During one period while (+) signal and (-) signal enters through the transformer, Q1 and Q2 operate in turn and the output current penetrates upward and downward the primary part of output transformer. At the secondary part of output transformer, full one period AC signal is completed and this operates the speaker and makes sound.

Fig.9-3 is a double ended push-pull amplifier which operates as AB level push-pull circuit. The voltage distributor is composed of base bias resistances R10 and R11, and small flow of current of two transistors TR2 and TR3 in stop state is supplied as standby bias to the base. The emitter resistance R12 is used to compensate for small difference between two transistors and to stabilize the operation of the circuit.

TR1 is A level common emitter amplifier, which is used to amplify the input signal and output it to T1. The input transformer T1 including center tab coil operates the phase splitting. The signal induced to the secondary coil is same as the amplitude but has the phase difference of 180 degree. Therefore, if the input is sine wave, TR2 and TR3 operate in turn. The output signal is combined at the speaker by the output of the output transformer T2.
