2.94 Push-Pull amplifier
Circuit 200:
Iron-free push-pull amplifier
Setup information
Install the three transistors, the two diodes, the three resistors and the two electrolytic capacitors as shown
in
Fig. 2.200
followed by the ten jumper wires. Last but not least, connect the Piezo element. Check the
placement on the board again and only then connect the battery.
You can significantly increase the sensitivity of the Piezo element by using a sound plate or even a sound
box. Read more about it in Chap. 1.2.3

Experiment
Push-pull amplifiers are basic circuits in analogue amplifier technology. Connect an mp3 player to the input
and you will hear the playback loud and sound over the Piezo element.
The circuit diagram for this experiment is shown in Chap. 3, Fig. 3.200.
