Best parts of Class AB Amplifier from UTSource (part 1)


This amplifier is a combination of two amplifiers class A and class B. class B amplifier has a problem of distortion and class A amplifier has low efficiency problem. The class AB amplifier eliminates both of these problems and utilize the advantages of these two amplifiers.

Class AB amplifier operates as a class A amplifier when the power of output is low and operates as a class B amplifier when the current of output is high. The two transistors are pre biased in the amplifier output stage. 

The circuit diagram of class AB amplifier is as follows:

The purpose of diode D1 and D2 is to set the operating point above cutoff frequency. The cross over distortions which class B amplifiers creates is solved by using class AB amplifier

As the class A amplifier conducts for the full 360 waveform of the input signal, class B amplifier conducts from 180 to 360 of the input signal so by combining the effect of both of the amplifiers, depending on the pre biasing and the output current, each transistor conducts between 180 and 360.

This amplifier is a good compromise between the class A and class B amplifier in term of linearity and efficiency having efficiency between 50-60%. The relationship of input and output of class AB amplifier is as follows:

Like with most electronic circuits, there are a wide range of approaches to structure a amplifiers output amplifiers output stage the same number of varieties and alterations can be made to a fundamental enhancer yield circuit. The activity of a force speaker is to convey an obvious degree of yield power (both current just as voltage) to the associated load with a sensible level of effectiveness. This can be accomplished by working the transistor(s) in one of two fundamental working modes, Class An or Class B.

A little steady current move through the arrangement circuit of R1-D1-D2-R2, creating voltage drops which are balanced either side of the info. With no information signal voltage applied, the point between the two diodes is zero volts. As current moves through the chain, there is a forward inclination voltage drop of around 0.7V over the diodes which is applied to the base-producer intersections of the exchanging transistors.
