of direct coupling is that any DC at the input appears as a valid signal to the system, and so ...Context date October 2009 In electronics, direct coupling also called direct wired contact and conductive charging is a way of interconnecting two circuits such that, in addition to transferring the AC signal or information , the first stage also provides DC bias to the next. Thus, there is no need for a Capacitive coupling DC blocking capacitor to be used in order to interconnect the circuits, and this method is also known as DC coupling . DC bias The provision of DC bias only occurs in a group of circuits that forms a single unit, such as an operational amplifier op amp . Here the internal units or portions of the op amp like the input stage, voltage gain stage, and output stage will be direct coupled and will also be used to set up the bias conditions inside the op amp the input stage will also supply the input bias to the voltage gain stage, for example . However when two op amps are directly coupled the first op amp will not supply any bias to the next any DC at its output will form the input for the next. The resulting output of the second op amp now represents an offset error if it is not the intended one. Uses This technique is used by default in circuits like integrated circuit .... That said, some discrete circuits such as power amplifier s also employ direct coupling to cut cost ... and device mismatches are the major causes of offset errors, and circuits employing direct coupling ... the individual circuit units inside the system.
