Experiment 2: Class – B and AB Push-Pull Amplifiers Objectives: After completing this experiment, you should be able to, 1. Observe the Class – B and AB push-pull power amplifier’s output waveforms. 2. Calculate the output power and efficiency. Submission Requirements: Submit the Multisim.ms14 file along with your Experiment 2 lab document. Components needed: Instruments used: 1. Resistors: (2) 10kΩ, 330Ω 1. Digital Multimeter (DMM) 2. Transistor: (1) 2N3904, (1) 2N3906 2. Variable Power Supplies (VPS) 3. Diodes: (2) 1N914B 3. Function Generator 4. Connecting wires (as necessary) 4. Oscilloscope Procedure: 1. The Class - B/AB push-pull power amplifier we build in this lab will include two complementary (NPN and PNP) transistors. 2. Identify the Emitter, Base and Collector terminal of each of the transistor. Below shows an image of a physical devices as well as the NPN form of the schematic symbol. Figure 1: Transistor terminals
3. Build the following circuit in MultiSim. Observe that both emitters and both bases of the transistors are joined together. Figure 2: Class – B push-pull amplifier 3. Set the voltage to 1Vp , ( 2V PP), 1 kHz sinewave . 4. Add an oscilloscope to the circuit simulation. Turn on the Oscilloscope, if necessary . 5. Connect CH0 of the Oscilloscope across the input signal. Q1 2N3904 VCC V 9 V1 Vpk 1 kHz 1 ° 0 RL 330Ω AC_Power Q2 2N3906 VEE V -9.0 CH1 - Output CH0 - Input
6. Connect CH1 of the Oscilloscope across the 330Ω load resistor. Use cursors to display the Vpp of the signals 7. You should be able to observe the following signals. Figure 3: Input and Output signals of the Class-B Push-Pull Amplifier CH0 - Input CH1 - Output
