An Adaptive Biasing Technique to Convert a Pseudo-Class AB Amplifier to Class AB

An essential modification to a conventional four-stage pseudo-class AB amplifier results in a true class AB amplifier. As opposed to the conventional pseudoclass AB scheme, which uses a current mirror in the third stage, our work uses an adaptive biasing circuit in the third stage in order to drastically reduce quiescent current. The pseudo-class AB and new class AB amplifiers are designed in a...

15-20W Class AB Audio Amplifier

Many class B designs can be operated in class A at low power levels if the quiescent current is increased. However, this often worsens the distortion characteristics of the output stage, particularly at intermediate (and audibly important) power levels, by displacing the crossover point to a region where the transfer slope is much steeper, and the crossover discontinuity therefore much more pro...

Design a Low Voltage- Low Offset Class AB Op-Amp

A new design approach for three-stage operational amplifiers (op-amps) is proposed. It allows to actually implement a symmetrical push-pull class-AB amplifier output stage for wellestablished three-stage amplifiers using a feedforward transconductance stage. Compared with the conventional design practice, the proposed approach leads to a significant improvement of the symmetry between the posit...

A Cmos Class-ab Transconductance Amplifier for Switched-capacitor Applications

A novel CMOS operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is presented, using a fully differential singlestage core OTA as input stage and a differential to single current converter as output stage, each biased at a separate current level. A large gain-bandwidth (GBW) product (2.7 MHz) and a high slew-rate (5 V//.LS) can be obtained by applying a large bias current to the core OTA. Due to the c...
