b) Make a distinction between “voltage” feedback and “ரள?” feedback in amplifier
circuits. Discuss the merits in each case and derive expressions for the net output
resistance in each case. (8)
a) Sketch the topology for the generalized resonant circuit oscillator, using impedances
2, 22 and 73. Derive the expression for the frequency of oscillation. Under what

Full Question Carries 20 marks.
a) With neat circuit diagram and necessary waveforms, explain how a transistorized
astable multivibrator is working as a free running oscillator. Derive the expression for
the frequency. Show in the circuit diagram, how you can eliminate the rounding of the
collector waveform and make the edges sharp? (12)

produce linear sweep voltage by constant current charging. Draw a transistorized
circuit and waveforms to explain the Bootstrap action to generate linear sweep. (12)
b) A Class 8 push-pull power amplifier is supplied with Vcc = 50V. The signal swings
the collector voltage down to Vmin = 5४. The total dissipation in both transistors is
40W. Calculate the total output power and conversion efficiency. (8)
a) Draw the circuit of a series pass voltage regulator which uses a feedback. Explain its
working when the input voltage as well as load current varies. Design your circuit
