The previous two chapters considered closely the distortion produced by amplifier output stages: a basically conventional but well designed Class-B amplifier with proper precautions taken against the ...

The distortion performance of an amplifier is determined not only by open loop linearity, but also the negative feedback factor applied when the loop is closed. In most practical circumstances ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...

Said to be the industry’s lowest power zero crossover op amp, the OPA369 from Texas Instruments achieves rail to rail performance without input crossover, solving the common design problem of input ...

Consumer demand for flexible audio features and hi-fi sound from mobile phones has led to handset audio chip designers having to optimise the Class D amplifier to meet the noise and power management ...

Amplifiers are fundamental circuit-design elements. They drive everything from earbuds to antennas. Placed ahead of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), they reshape signals from sources as diverse as ...

At CES 2016, Bryston introduced its new Cubed Series lineup of solid state power amplifiers, replacing the award-winning Squared Series (SST 2) that made its debut at the 2009 CES. The Cubed series is ...

Krell announced their new iBias technology at CES 2014 to be integrated into their amplifier line. Many audiophiles (and people that care about sound if you feel "audiophile" is a dirty word) believe ...
