Amplifier
Introduction
power amplifiers are used to deliver a relatively high
amount of power, usually to a low resistance load.
it conducts during one complete cycle of the input signal
waveform
minimum amount of distortion
the output signal is an exact reproduction of the input
signal but only bigger (amplified).
no problems with charge storage, and generally better
high frequency performance and feedback loop stability
the low efficiency of class A amplifiers limits their
usefulness to small power applications that require
usually less than 1 W
