Semiconductors - Definition

Semiconductors are materials having electrical conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. They can be elements like silicon,germanium etc or compounds like gallium arsenide,cadmium selenide etc. Technically semiconductors are characterized by a low band gap of few electron volts between valence and conduction bands.

Non-inverting Amplifier - Operational Amplifier

In non-inverting amplifier configuration input voltage(VIN) is applied at the non-inverting input terminal of  an op-amp. The feedback is applied at the inverting input terminal drawing current from the output through a potential divider network. This is shown in the following circuit diagram. 

The gain of the non-inverting amplifier can be derived by applying the concept of virtual ground and Kirchoff Current Law at inverting and non-inverting terminals as follows.

Applying KCL at node Vand taking the fact that virtually no current flows into the op-amp,


Applying the concept of virtual ground,

                                                                                          
But ,



Therefore, 





Substituting Equation (2) in Equation (1),









Therefore voltage gain AV of the non-inverting amplifier is given by,








Instrumentation Amplifier - Op Amp

Instrumentation amplifier is a type of differential amplifier with input buffer stages. Input buffer stages aids in impedance matching with the previous stage. Instrumentation amplifiers are generally used in industrial and scientific measurements. Instrumentation amplifier has such useful features as low offset voltage,high CMRR,high input impedance, high gain etc. The circuit diagram of an instrumentation amplifier is shown below,



The above circuit produces an output voltage  (Vout)  proportional to the difference between input voltages((V1-V2).In the circuit diagram two op amps are shown as input buffers. But gain of the input buffers is not unity due to the presence of resistances R1 and Rg. Op amp at the output stage is wired as a standard differential amplifier.R2 is the input resistor and R3 is connected from output of the output op-amp to its inverting input of the op amp. 

The voltage gain of the instrumentation amplifier is given by the expression, 

Voltage Gain G = (VO/(V1-V2)) = (1+2R1/Rg)(R3/R2)

Instrumentation amplifiers are used where high sensitivity, accuracy and stability are required.High gain accuracy can be achieved by using precision metal film resistors for all the resistances.

As high negative feed back is employed, the instrumentation amplifier has a good linearity. The output impedance is typically in the range of few milli ohms.

Stability Factor and Its Importance

The rate of change of collector current IC with respect to the collector leakage current ICBO is called stability factor, denoted by S. 


Stabilization of operating point is important due to temperature dependence of Ic, individual variations of transistor parameters and thermal runaway.

Hybrid Parameters - h Parameters

The hybrid parameters determine transistor amplifier characteristics such as voltage gain, current gain, input and output impedance etc.Every linear circuit can be analyzed as two port networks.Four parameters called hybrid parameters or h-parameters can be used to describe these networks.One parameter is measured in ohm and another parameter is measured in mho and other two parameters are dimensionless.As these parameters have mixed dimensions they are called hybrid parameters.
