It was also announced that they will be addressing their current amplifier line, both solid state and tube.

This circuit is often selected when a current amplifier is wanted at the output.

Figure 3 shows a current amplifier example.

Alexanderson also created the amplidyne, a direct current amplifier.

This was the introduction of the Citation XX high current amplifier.

On the other hand, for the current amplifier, which uses a shunt input connection, Kirchhoff's laws provide:

For example, an op amp (voltage amplifier) can be arranged to make a current amplifier instead.

For example, taking the unilateral current amplifier of Figure 3, the corresponding bilateral two-port network is shown in Figure 4 based upon h-parameters.

Alternatively, other types of buffers exist that implement current amplifiers, or keep track of the state (i.e. which side drove the bus low) to prevent latch-up.

Figure 6 shows an equivalent circuit for finding the input resistance of a feedback voltage amplifier (left) and for a feedback current amplifier (right).

The common use of the term "DC amplifier" does not mean "direct current amplifier", as this type can be used for both direct current and alternating current signals.

The first is the transfer ratio (in the case of a current amplifier) or the output current magnitude (in the case of a constant current source CCS).

Some current amplifiers take the voltage output from Class A/B, B, or tube (valve) amplifiers, while others contain built-in voltage amplifiers as a pre-amp stage.

The single transistor example shows how the method works in principle for a transconductance amplifier, while the second two-transistor example shows the approach to more complex cases using a current amplifier.

BJTs can be thought of as voltage-controlled current sources, but are more simply characterized as current-controlled current sources, or current amplifiers, due to the low impedance at the base.

Conceptually, an ideal current mirror is simply an ideal inverting current amplifier that reverses the current direction as well or it is a current-controlled current source (CCCS).

The output of IC2, pin 3, is incapable of supplying sufficient current to operate the solenoid valve SOL directly so, for this purpose, transistor TR2 is used as a simple current amplifier.

Early SECMs were constructed solely by individual lab groups from a set of common components including potentiostat (or biopotentiostat) and potential programer, current amplifier, piezoelectric positioner and controller, computer, and UME.

Current amplifiers and transconductance amplifiers are characterized by a short-circuit output condition, and current amplifiers and transresistance amplifiers are characterized using ideal infinite impedance current sources.

When Barrie Gilbert described this class of circuits he also described the translinear principle (TLP) which made the analysis of these circuits possible in a way that the previous view of BJTs as linear current amplifiers did not allow.
