THE PULSED DIRECT CURRENT AMPLIFIER: A METHOD OF OPERATING TRANSISTORS AT VERY LOW CURRENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4061901
A pulsed d-c amplifier is proposed from considerations for estimating the drifts occurring in the first stage of the amplifier. The drifts relate to the changes of current or voltage necessary to the first stage input terminal to cancel the drifts and so to keep constant the current or voltage fed from the first stage to the second. The improvement obtained by pulsing is greater than the smplification by a single transistor stage. The low current drift obtainable in pulsed d-c amplifiers should allow usage in precise pulse rate meters and pulse integrators. (B.O.G.)
