Barney Oliver: Crossover Distortion in Class B Audio Amplifiers
This is the famous analysis of class B amplifier cross-over distortion by the then head of HP Reasearch Labs, Dr. Barney Oliver, published in the February 1971 edition of the HP Journal. The bias current Iq for a class B emitter follower amplifier is shown to be approximately Iq = .026/(Re+re+(rb/hFE)). In practice, – the […]
