Audio Power Amplifier Design

An essential book for amplifier designers and engineers enabling them to develop reliable high-performance circuits. Douglas Self covers the major issues of distortion and linearity power supplies overload DC-protection and reactive loading. He also covers unusual forms of compensation and distortion produced by capacitors and fuses. The only book with in-depth coverage of design and development of audio power amps. Using a design methodology Self makes it possible to predict practical performance from a theoretical design. This edition includes new coverage of Class D amps comprehensive updates on technological developments illustrations of sample circuits SPICE models and concise summaries of design guidelines.
