Why do circuits have high impedance and low output impedance?

The high impedance ensures that it draws very little current. It is the amplifier’s task to convert a low energy, voltage-driven signal into a higher-voltage output signal. Low impedance circuits can be dangerous because of the high current draw that they produce. Op amps avoid this by having very high input impedance.

What does output impedance do?

The output impedance is the ratio of change in output voltage to change in load current. Power supply input and output impedance are used to verify the supply’s stability and dynamic performance when subjected to various loads.

Why impedance is important?

Whether you are working with digital or analog signals, you’ll most likely need to match impedances between a source, transmission line, and load. The reason impedance matching is important in a transmission line is to ensure that a 5 V signal sent down the line is seen as a 5 V signal at the receiver.

What happens if the input impedance of an amplifier is low?

However, if your amplifier has less input impedance then it may so happen that a voltage drop occurs at the input and thus you end up getting a smaller voltage value at the input consequently amplifying a wrong signal. A low output impedance is desired so as to suck out maximum current from the circuit.

What is the reason for making high input impedance?

The reason for making high input impedance is that “The circuit can be driven by any source” to avoid any loading effect. This ensures maximum current is provided by source. The reason to ensure low output impedance is that “The circuit can drive any load”,…

What are the characteristics of a good amplifier?

No matter what load you put on the amplifier, the output Voltage is the same: the output voltage is feed back into the input to linearize the amplifier, and that makes the output voltage insensitive to load conditions. So: Good amplifiers use negative feedback: voltage feedback is common: good amplifiers commonly have low output impedance.

What is the difference between voltage and current amplification?

For voltage amplification you want low output impedance from the previous stage and high input impedance from the next stage to maximize the voltage gain. For current amplification you want the reverse: high output impedance from the previous stage and low input impedance from the next stage.
