IV. Circuit Design and Detail Calculation:

1. Small signal amplifier circuit:

- The input signal is approximately 100mV with the frequency f = 1000 Hz. The
the output power is P0 = 0.5W, and the output resistance is R L= 16 Ω
→ Ouput voltage: V out = √ 2 R L P0 = 4 V
V out
→ Amplification factor: | A v| = = 40

- Type of transitor: BC547 for small signal amplifier

- Choose the operating point (Q-Point) at: Q(V CE 1 , I C1 ¿ = Q(4V, 1 mA). At this
point, β 1 = 120
a. DC mode:
- We have I C 1 ≈ I E 1. Apply Kirchoff Voltage Law:
I C 1 ( R3 + R 4 + R5 ) +V CE 1=V CC
→ R3 + R 4 + R5=¿ 5 kΩ
- For ensuring the stability of the Amplication factor, V CC ≫ V E 1 . Choose
V CC
V E 1= =0.9 V , we have:

- For Q3 (TIP41A):
+ Operating point: Q3 ( 5V , 0.1 A )
+ β 3 = 50
- The Darlington β is: β D =β 2∗β 3=6000
- Calculate R6:

output signal by two 100µF capacitors
- Use 2 transistors to amplify the power: TIP41 and TIP42 (β = 50)
- The current goes through R8 , R9 , D 3∧D4 is:
