Dissipation consists mainly of resistive losses, (Output Current) 2 * R. Figure 3 illustrates the efficiency of the sinewave input and also shows the distortion of the output signal. That distortion ...

Different classes of amplifiers. What are the benefits of class AB amplifiers? Patents that address the quiescent current of class AB amps. Amplifiers have many classifications, and each class has its ...

The most common audio power amplifier operates in the Class-AB mode. It provides the greatest amount of output power with the least amount of distortion. The downside is that it consumes quite a bit ...

Meylan, France - February 4, 2008 - The pressure to lowering the power consumption leads system designers to investigate different architectures for audio amplifiers. They naturally investigate ...

Technology has democratized the music industry in many obvious ways – notice how every band, regardless of stature, has a MySpace page? But one of technology's more subtle effects has been to make our ...
