Class AB Amplifiers

 

 

Class AB amplifiers are a combination of Class A and Class B operations. Amplifiers are said to be in Class AB operation if the amplifier operates in Class A for part of its output, and turns on an additional current for the rest of its output. Amplifier slew rate is slower in Class AB operations than in Class A because there is a measurable length of time between the appearance of input signal and the appearance of output signal. Class AB amplifiers are the most popular due to their increased efficiency and excellent linearity.

Products & Services
Power operational amplifiers (POA) are used to increase the power of low-level signals in applications that drive low impedances or reactive loads. They dissipate excess energy as heat, deliver extensive current, and can sustain relatively high supply voltages. Search by Specification | Learn more about Power Operational Amplifiers
