Push Pull Amplifier Circuit

11/23/2009 11:20 AM

Hi everyone, can someone please tell me how the circuit in the following link works(pls explain what happen during positive cycle and negative cycle of the input)??and how does it able to amplified the power by giving a larger current at the output?thanks alot.

I don't like this circuit. The capacitor connecting the pull-up FETs gate to the input signal has no discharge path other than the TTL input signal path. This is precisely why the author insists on a minimum 2 kHz input square wave. Any long term 0 input signal will turn both transistors off, thus creating a tri-state like no connection condition. But any long term 1 input signal will turn on the pull down transistor making a 0 output. This maybe precisely what the author intended and work perfectly in the original application. But this high pass inverter design seems like an atypical purpose to me.
