UNIT-V – FEEDBACK AMPLIFIERS AND OSCILLATORS

1.What are the types of Mutivibrators

The three types of mutivibrators are

1. bistable :It has tow stable states.

2. It has one stable state.

3. It has tow states both are quasi-stable.

2.What is intrinsic standoff ratio of a UJT

Intrinsic stand-off ratio of UJT indicates that the transistor internally divides the

supply voitage and bias the emitter terminal.It is the ratio of the stand off voltage to the

power supply voltage.

3. What is a clamper? Name it’s types?

The ciricuit which is used to add a d.c lever as Per the requirements to the a.c output

signal is called Clamper circuit. The two types are positive clamper and negativeClamper.

4. How is a Schmitt trigger different from a multivibrator?

A Schmitt trigger isa thres hold circuit which uses Positive feedback with loop gain

greater than unity.The Schmitt trigger is a comparator which switches the output positive

when the input passes upward.

5. Mention some applications of UJT

1. used in triggering of another device such as SCR.

2. AS a relaxation oscillator

6. Write the frequency equation of an Astable Multivibrator.

The frequency equation is T=0.69R,C, and T2=0.69R2c2

While T=T1+T2

F=1/T=1/0.69CR1C1+R2(2)

7. What is Schmitt trigger?

A Schmitt trigger is a threshond circuit which Uses positive feedback with loop gain

greater than Unity.

8. What is a Multivibrator?

A multivibrator is an electronic circuit using two Amplifying transistor stages each

with its output Connected to the input of the other by resistors and capacitors.

9. What is clipper?

The circuit which is used to clip off unwanted Portion of the waveform without

distorting the remaining Part of the waveform is called clipper circuit.

10. Under what condition would a Schmitt trigger operate as an amplifier?

The resistance Rc1 must be enough smaller than Rc2 So that regeneration cannot take

place and Schmitt Trigger operates as an amplifier.
