Transistor Power Amplifiers Unit 3 – Phase Splitter
In a transistor phase splitter circuit, the emitter resistor (RE) and collector resistor (RC) are
equal. When RC and RE are equal, the voltage drop across the collector circuit equals the emitter
circuit voltage drop.
Because the emitter (RE) and collector (RC) resistors are equal, the voltage gains at outputs A
and B of the transistor phase splitter are equal and slightly less than 1.0.
To summarize, a transistor phase splitter is a common-emitter circuit that converts the input
signal into two output signals that are 180° out of phase with peak-to-peak voltages essentially
equal to the input signal.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
transistor phase splitter - a transistor circuit that generates two equal signal out of phase, from a
single input signal.
