This is the essential book reference for amplifier designers.
Douglas Self covers all the design issues of noise, distortion,
power supply rejection, protection, reliability, and layout. He
describes advanced forms of compensation that give dramatically
lower distortion. This edition is much expanded, and packed with
new information. It is a must-have for audio power amplifier
professionals and audiophiles, amateur constructors and anyone with
intellectual curiosity about the struggle towards technical
excellence. New to the sixth edition: The characteristics of the
audio signal The principles of distortion Feedback intermodulation
distortion Non-switching output stages VAS distortion explained
Push-pull VAS configurations Output-inclusive compensation In
addition, five amplifier design examples that illustrate important
design principles are examined and measured in detail. These can be
straightforwardly adapted to specific requirements. This new
edition also includes a wealth of material on the XD
crossover-displacement principle (invented by the author and in use
by Cambridge Audio), four-stage amplifier architectures, error
correction, current-mirrors, power transistors with internal
sensing diodes, amplifier bridging, input-stage-common-mode
distortion, amplifier stability, output stages with gain, inrush
current suppression, DC servo design, thermal protection, cooling
fan control, advanced line input stages, testing and safety,
infrared remote control, signal activation, 12V trigger control,
the history of solid-state amplifiers and much more. Simple
procedures for heatsinking and power supply design are given.
