This solid-state push-pull single-ended Class A circuit is capable of providing a sound comparable to those valve amplifiers, delivering more output power (6.9W measured across a 8 Ohm loudspeaker ...

Targeting CATV MDU, drop amplifier, and line amplifier applications, the RFCA8818 push-pull amplifier operates from a single power supply and provides 17-dB gain, +34-dBmV of output power, and a noise ...

Fig 1. This basic source-follower circuit is the kind of amplifier you would find in an electric bass guitar amplifier. R6 provides the feedback. On the other hand, low-distortion applications require ...

1. Is Amplifier Weight an Indicator of Robust Amplifier Design? You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before you can generalize about weight ...

As you can see, there are a number of variables and the answer is simply not that straight forward. When conducting amplifier measurements, we tend to be a bit more forgiving with receivers than multi ...
