Many transistors are designed for maximum collector voltages up to 30-50 V, and if necessary, to have a transistor amplifier with an output voltage amplitude of about 300 V, you can use the circuit for switching transistors in a chain, as shown in the figure.

Turning on transistors in a chain

The current flowing into the base circuit of the input transistor T1 flows through the resistor R11 and causes an increase in the voltage drop across the resistor RL. At the same time, the voltage drop across each of the transistors connected in series decreases. This causes an increase in current in the base circuits of all transistors.

Resistors R12 - R21 are calculated in such a way that the base currents of all transistors are always equal. In this case, the following equation will be valid for the output collector current: IL=(Bn)Ib.in,

where IL - current through the resistor R1; B is the current gain of an individual transistor; n is the number of transistors in the chain; Ib.in - base current of the input stage (T1).

If the input base current T1 stops, then each transistor goes into the off state and the voltage drop on the voltage divider chain in the base circuits equalizes. As a result, the circuit shown in the figure is equivalent to a single transistor circuit with parameters:

U'k.max=n*Uk.max;
B'=(Bn)

In this example, 10 transistors are taken with Uk.max=35V and V=60. Without the feedback resistor R11, which serves to stabilize the mode, the circuit is equivalent to a single-transistor circuit with U'k.max=350 V and B'=50.

At the given values, the gain of the circuit is 10, the maximum amplitude of the output voltage is 300 V.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Similar to Stonehenge found in Poland 19.11.2019

In Poland, an ancient structure of the Stonehenge type, over 6800 years old, was discovered. Archaeologists claim that Neolithic people used this ritual object for 200-250 years, with new functions appearing every few decades.

The diameter of the structure is about 110 meters - three times the diameter of the inner circle of sandstone boulders at Stonehenge. This object was discovered by archaeologists in 2017, but only now they managed to find out the age of the structure. According to the Polish Ministry of Science, radiocarbon dating showed that the object was built before 4800 BC.

"Polish Stonehenge" is located in the village of Nowe Obezze, not far from the border with Germany. It consists of a central zone, the entrance to which is marked by three gates, and four ditches surrounding the central circle. Each outlying ditch is larger and deeper than the last, and archaeologists have determined that they were dug at relatively regular intervals every few decades. The depth of the moats varies from 1 to 2 meters.

Other similar structures found along the Danube River date back to 4850-4600. BC. It is believed that they performed a ritual function and served as a kind of astronomical calendar.
