Revised my LM321/358/324 transitor models

The best variant turned out to be (v.I) :

This v. is couple of times faster and with higher DC voltage gain than the actual LM324 , uses a different biasing circuitry and modified output stage . . . as it turned out it is difficult to get the ® d/s provided equivalent circuit to have the stability otherwise

. . . the 100Ω resistors seemed to improve the common mode rejection at the time they were added . . . however there has been modifications since -- at the moment there's no time to validate the effect for the final v. . . .


 some tests :

. . . compared to the second best variant (v.JI) and to the macro-model of the Op Amp in question . . .

some audio power amp.-s

 src :: http://ludens.cl/Electron/audioamps/AudioAmps.html



. . . much likely the NE/SA/SE 5534 ( --or-- not using the additional neg. supply as shown below ) significantly limits the otherwise available output power ?! . . . the above circuit however is claimed to have rather decent linearity (not the output power) . . .



▲ efficiency % 36.5% , P.OUT 370mW ▲

▼ efficiency : 27.6% , P.OUT 455mW ▼


Blah , blah , blah . . .


Dedicated iC-s  ::

TAA300 / K174YH4 -- Left : Right -- 60.2% : 61.6% -- efficiency - power to 8Ω speaker (!! not to air)
P.OUT -- 810mW : 925mW



KA2201 : efficiency 58.1% , P.OUT 1.66W


Blah , blah , blah . . .


TDA2822 ::

!!! near ... realistic model : i set here the control current 3x of the one that results in near 6mA quiescent current -- that , in order to shift the upper bandwidth from below 10kHz to above the 20kHz ← which may not be the case for the real 2822 !!! -- efficiency 57.5% P.OUT 885mW

!!! simplified model : (likely behaves much better the real thing . . . + the supply range may be limitted at the low end !!!) -- (( !!! efficiency 87.3% !!! )) P.OUT 670mW

Re : Pulse generators

 Previously : 2 types of pulse generators

well ... i re-designed the low power one (( i always re-design things from scratch to see where such ends up )) and it "minimized" to the prev. -- still a design relic invoked a new variant (( i "switched" the design in between the transistor and the op-amp/comparator based and mixed . . . so just wanted to test out the NPN only variant . . . ))


Note : both , but especially the right , are not too well tuned/biased (( i tested the pricipal/general functionality ))

+ a Linear Sawtooth with power stage (another same polarity transistors only circuit)

Alternate for the BJT Flip-Flop

about :: the simple universal RS Flop has a deficiency -- "negative overshoot" at transistor bases . . . the quick fix would distort otherwise near perfect square wave ::

(the point here was to find an even charging/discharging capacitor based SW source not more complex the below Flop . . . since all such likely require fixed supply or much more complex circuitry the final option of TLV3691 or any substitute was selected)


. . . just checking the double T thingy for 50% duty clock source - but it appears to be requiring too strict tuning --and/or-- voltage source ::

Fortunately there exist a low voltage comparator (to cover that supply range ... otherwise any other SW source can be used) ::

+ a simple varying duty SW source test ::

and a better timed ones ::

Virtual eval. of some LoVo OpAmp.-s

 is what the title says :

Text as a text :

note : if there will be no spurious oscillations configuring the LM358 , LM324 as the unity buffer shown at above fig. then the sentence "the transistor model requires a scaled input to prevent the spurious oscillation" has no meaning in real-life otherwise the recommended biasing scheme is as http://tinyurl.com/yyvgyz32
