Multi-Band GaAs Amplifier Covers Sub-1GHz Applications Qorvo's QPA9510, A Power Amplifier Supporting GSM, UHF, and FM Bands

Sub-1 GHz radio links sit at the core of a wide range of products, including public safety radios, smart utility meters, RFID readers, and vehicle telematics units. Many of these systems now need to work across several regional frequency allocations without a hardware redesign for each market, while still running efficiently on battery power in a compact footprint. Qorvo's QPA9510 power…

Hybrid GaN-CMOS Chip Enables Faster, Efficient Electronics MIT Combines GaN and Silicon Chips for Faster, Efficient Electronics

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have developed a new way to combine two types of chips: gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon-based CMOS chips into a single chip. The solution is cheaper, scalable, and more energy-efficient. Gallium nitride chips are not cheap or easy to work with, but they are faster and better at handling power. Silicon chips, on the other hand, are cheap and common but lack…

TDA7294 Based 170W High Power Audio Amplifier Design a TDA7294 IC Based 170W High Power Audio Amplifier

The TDA7294 IC is a popular sound amplifier IC with low cost that has a ton of power handling capacity, 100W to be exact. For this tutorial, we are going to use two of those TDA7294 ICs in a bridge configuration to build an even more powerful amp that can handle up to 170W of RMS power. Throughout this tutorial we will walk you through the…

Guitar Distortion Pedal Circuit Build Your Own Guitar Distortion Pedal Circuit

Who does not like the rumbling tone of a distorted electric guitar? It is a key part of many important genres of music, especially in blues and rock music genres and is also frequently used in hard rock, metal or the punk music genre. In this project, we will build a basic distortion pedal for guitars using a simple circuit. You can also check out the Arduino Guitar Tuner Circuit if you are…

Class A BJT Amplifier biasing Biasing Methods of Class A BJT Amplifiers

When you want to design bipolar transistor circuits you need to know how to bias them. Biasing is applying electricity to a transistor in a specific way to make the transistor perform the way you want it to. There are mainly five classes of Amplifier - Class A, Class B, Class AB, Class C and Class D. In this article we will focus on biasing the transistor in a common emitter…
