Electronic Amplifier - Classification of Amplifier Stages and Systems

Classification of Amplifier Stages and Systems

There are many alternative classifications that address different aspects of amplifier designs, and they all express some particular perspective relating the design parameters to the objectives of the circuit. Amplifier design is always a compromise of numerous factors, such as cost, power consumption, real-world device imperfections, and a multitude of performance specifications. Below are several different approaches to classification:

Famous quotes containing the words stages and/or systems:

    Whoe’er has travelled life’s dull round,
    Where’er his stages may have been,
    May sigh to think he still has found

    William Shenstone (1714–1763)

    What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
