The almost universal choice in semiconductor power amplifiers is for a unity gain output stage, and specifically a voltage follower. Output stages with gain are not unknown, 1 but they are not common.

From earlier work in this series, distortion from the small-signal stages may be kept to levels that will prove negligible compared with distortion from a closed-loop output stage. Similarly, future ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Audio amplifier products are becoming more and more advanced in ...

The switching amplifier, or class D amplifier, has risen quickly to prominence in consumer audio applications, from MP3 devices including mobile phone handsets to games consoles, LCD-TVs, and home ...

When used with other blocks and modules, a new approach to modeling operational-amplifier output impedance behavior can provide a more realistic overall behavioral model. Simulating the behavior of a ...

If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...

Industrial and medical design continually push to improve product accuracy and speed. The analogue integrated circuit industry has generally keptup with speed requirements, but it is falling behind on ...
