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 ...

There are two salient facts about Class A amplifiers: they are inefficient; they give the best possible distortion performance. The quiescent dissipation of the classic Class A amplifier is equal to ...

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 ...

What is a Class D amplifier? A Class D amplifier converts an audio signal to pulse-width modulation (PWM). Its power stage efficiently amplifies the PWM signal and filters it to drive the speakers.
