Direct Coupled (Direct Coupled (MultiMulti--StageStage

AmplifiersAmplifiers))

1. In capacitively coupled amplifiers,

increased reactance of capacitors at

lower frequencies produces gain

reduction.

2. Direct-coupled amplifiers, on the other

hand, can be used to amplify low

frequencies all the way down to dc

(0Hz) without loss of voltage gain.

46

3. However, small changes in DC voltagesfrom temperature effects or power-

supply variation are amplified by the

succeeding stages, which can result in

a significant drift in the dc levels

throughout the circuit.
