Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

A new book authored by Robert N. Buono delves deeply into Class-D amplifiers, a crucial technology in audio designs. Buono ...

If you know anything about a transistor, it’s probably that it’s a three terminal device whose output pin forms part of a potential divider whose state is dependent on what is presented to its input ...

This article started because a good friend of mine dropped a Panasonic SA-XR50 switch-mode amplifier to me for some basic bench test. This article will NOT be a review of that unit, but an ...

[Ynze] has built an audio amplifier that looks and sounds great. His amplifier uses a National Instruments (now TI) LM3886 Overture series 68 Watt power amp. The LM3886 places [Ynze’s] amp squarely in ...

Ever wonder what slew rate was all about? No, it has nothing to do with how a drunk person slurs their speech. This article gets to the basics of Amplifier Slew rate and what it means. When reviewing ...

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 ...

I suspect a substantial number of people have an old pair of speakers sitting in storage: hand-me-downs from a family member, perhaps, or the remnants of a stereo of their youth. Such speakers can be ...

Different classes of amplifiers. What are the benefits of class AB amplifiers? Patents that address the quiescent current of class AB amps. Amplifiers have many classifications, and each class has its ...

High-end audio manufacturer Goldmund has announced its newest integrated amplifier, the Telos 670. Designed for "discerning ...

Audio passed from lips to ears over short distances before the advent of radio. Broadcast changed that by using electronics to transport audio over great distances. As you know it starts with a ...
