S8050 in Push-Pull Configuration

As mentioned in the features of the S8050 transistor is commonly used in push pull configuration with Class B amplifier. So let us discuss how that is done.

A push pull amplifier, commonly known as Class B amplifier is type of multistage amplifier commonly used for audio amplification of loudspeakers. It is very simple to construct and requires two identical complimentary transistors operate. By complimentary it means that we need a NPN transistor and its equivalent PNP transistor. Like here the NPN transistor will be S8050 and its equivalent PNP transistor will be S8550. A simple circuit diagram of the Class B amplifier with the using the S8050 is shown below.

Applications

• Audio Amplification Circuits
• Class B Amplifiers
• Push pull Transistors
• Circuits where high gain is required
• Low signal applications
