# Industrial Specification: Amplifier Core

## 1. Technical Definition
The central functional unit within a Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) responsible for signal amplification.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-1000 mV input, 1-100 V output, -40 to 125°C ambient**. Failure boundary: **Input signal exceeding 1.2 V causes saturation distortion; junction temperature surpassing 150°C initiates thermal runaway**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor junction breakdown at 150°C due to positive thermal coefficient; signal clipping at 1.2 V input from rail-to-rail limitation**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
