Analog Electronics Power Amplifiers

The document discusses different classes of amplifiers, including Class A and Class B. It focuses on key characteristics of different amplifier configurations, including direct coupled and transformer coupled Class A amplifiers, as well as push-pull Class B amplifiers. Direct coupled Class A amplifiers connect the load directly to the collector circuit, while transformer coupled Class A uses a transformer. Push-pull Class B amplifiers use two complementary transistors to amplify alternating halves of the input signal cycle, improving efficiency over Class A by reducing wasted power.

Class A
• The Load is directly connected to collector circuit
• It is similar to fixed bias common emitter
configuration
• It uses the Power transistor
• Ordinary transistor accepts the input in terms of
milli watts and delivers the out as milli watts
• Power transistor – input in volts and outputs in
power

Class B Amplifier
• To improve the full power efficiency of the
previous Class A amplifier by reducing the
wasted power in the form of heat,
• it is possible to design the power
amplifier circuit with two transistors in its
output stage producing
• It is commonly termed as a Class B
Amplifier also known as a push-pull
amplifier .
Class B Amplifier
• Push-pull amplifiers use two “complementary” or
matching transistors,
• one is an NPN-type and the is a PNP-type with both
power transistors receiving the same input signal
• It is an equal in magnitude, but in opposite phase to
each other.
• This results in one transistor only amplifying one half
or 180o of the input waveform cycle
• Second transistor amplifies the other half or remaining
180o of the input waveform cycle
• As a result “two-halves” being put back together again
at the output terminal
Class B

• Two transformer
– Input transformer, Output Transformer
• Input transformer – Driving the pair of
transistor
– Output transformer- drive the Maximum power
