摘要: A low-distortion class AB output stage with improved stability suitable for monolithic power amplifiers (P/sub 0/>or=40 W) is described. The concept has been verified on a 12-W breadboard version as well partly integrated prototype, and supported by computer simulations P/sub W biasing control law which guarantees predictable conduction of both transistors at all times implemented. This reduces crossover distortion allows the customary quasi-p-n-p compound transistor to be eliminated, thus also improving stability. Linearity use local negative feedback. Phase margin application high-frequency feedforward. Measured phase around 60 degrees total harmonic load 7 Omega about -80 dB 20 kHz. >
