Glossary Definition for Amplifier

Definition

An electrical circuit that produces an output that is a replica of the input. The output may be scaled or have increased drive, or it may provide isolation (so changes in output conditions do not affect the input or other outputs). It may perform other transformations (e.g., filtering or logarithmic drive).
