one transistor amplifier help

amdx · 2017-04-15T15:18:32+00:00

I have the following amp. It originally had a 12V supply voltage, In an effort to get a larger swing on the output, I raised that to 24V. I now get 12.5Vpp on the output, I want to maximize the output signal. A gain of 3 will work for my circuit. What changes can I make to maximize the output swing. The input is at maximum before distortion is seen. I would like to put matching load on the output so my swing will drop in 1/2.

Nah, that can go up and down. An electrical analogy to a ratchet and pawl is a diode charge pump.

OK I was thinking of a stepper motor. (Or maybe an up/down counter.)
