Hey guys ‘n gals,
Been looking at push-pull circuits and therefore amplifiers.
What I want to do is actually power a voltage multiplier, it has nothing to do with audio.
I am looking for amplified (or in fact switched, since the transistors can and will be in saturation mode when on) voltage gain, not only current. To this end I found about a class A amplifier ie common-emitter.
Now, I definitely want a push-pull arrangement, but it seems to me that preserving the common-emitter topology will help me. Does that sound right?
Here is the usual arrangement minus biasing etc:
And here is the arrangement I think I want, taken from the web but the values aren’t mine, just an example. I found so few such examples that I wonder I it’s actually an error:
It’s first principles I need here rather than specifics, i’d Want to use midgets eventually anyhow. My question is, does the 2nd example work and does it give me what I want? If not, what will?
I’m feeding the gates/bases with a clock signal of between 0 and 12v, and Vcc is 140v
