The usual output networks for a power amplifier are shown in Figure 7.6, with typical values. They comprise a shunt Zobel network, for stability into inductive loads, and a series output ...

Though sometimes taken for granted, designers shouldn’t overlook the intricacies of voltage- and current-feedback op amps—integral players in the analog and mixed-signal worlds. Op amps amplify tiny ...

Q: What are slew and dampening factor? I saw it asked in one of your forums and its not in your glossary. A: Slew Rate: This is a term used to describe how quickly the output of an amplifier can track ...

Depends on the amp's slew rate too. If the amp is feeding a high impedance then it is pushing more volts and less amps for the same wattage. If the amp cannot slew fast enough, it'll distort. This ...

Plenty of those records sounded terrific, but buyers felt short-changed anyway and a class action lawsuit followed. Which ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...

Few subjects in the world of audio systems excite so much controversy and heated debate as the subject of loudspeaker cables. A truly enormous amount of pseudo-science has been written about this ...

A transresistance amplifier converts an input of current to an output of voltage. It is also called a voltage to current converter or V to I converter. It is called transresistance because the ...

The switching amplifier, or class D amplifier, has risen quickly to prominence in consumer audio applications, from MP3 devices including mobile phone handsets to games consoles, LCD-TVs, and home ...
