Large-signal or power amplifiers function primarily to provide sufficient power to drive the output device. These amplifier circuits will handle large voltage signals and high current levels. The main factors are • efficiency• maximum power capability• impedance matching to the output device

Class A Amplifier

The output of a Class A amplifier conducts for the full 360° of the cycle

The Q-point (bias level) must be biased towards the middle of the load line so that the AC signal can swing a full cycle. Remember that the DC load line indicates the maximum and minimum limits set by the DC power supply.

Class B Amplifier

A Class B amplifier output only conducts for 180° or ½of the input signal

The Q-point (bias level) is at 0V on the load line, so that the AC signal can only swing for ½ of a cycle.

4

Class AB Amplifier

iddhien2008 All Rights Reserved 7

This amplifier is in between the Class A and Class B. The Q-point (bias level) is above the Class B but below the Class A.

The output conducts between 180° and 360° of the AC input signal.

Class C and Class D Amplifier

iddhien2008 All Rights Reserved 8

Class CThe output of the Class C conducts for less than 180°of the AC cycle. The Q-point (bias level) is at cutoff, the output signal is very small.

Class DThe Class D output is more like a pulse. It does not resemble the AC sinewave input.

Amplifier Efficiency

iddhien2008 All Rights Reserved 9

Efficiency refers to the ratio of output to input power. The lower the amount of conduction of the amplifier the higher the efficiency.

Series-Fed Class A Amplifier

This is similar to the small-signal amplifier except that it will handle higher voltages. The transistor used is a high power transistor.This circuit is not the best to use as a large-signal amplifier because of its poor power efficiency. The Beta is generally less than 100.

If the DC bias collector current is set at one-half the possible signal swing (between 0 and Vcc/Rc), the largest collector current swing will be possible. If the quiscent collector-emitter voltage is set on one half the supply voltage the largestvoltage swing will be possible.

AC Bias Operation

A small input signal will cause the output voltage to swing to a maximum of Vcc and a minimum of 0V. The current can also swing from 0 mA to ICSAT (Vcc/RC)

Input Power: Series-Fed Class A Amplifier

The power into the amplifier is from the DC supply. With no input signal, the DC current drawn is the collector bias current, ICQ.

The ac signal Vi causes the base current to vary arround the dc bias current and the collector current arround its quiscent level ICQ.The ac input signal result in ac current and ac voltage signals.

This circuit uses a transformer to couple to the load. This improves the efficiency of the Class A to 50%.

The transformer improves the efficiency because of the transformation of voltage and current through the transformer.

AC Load LineThe saturation point (ICmax) is now at Vcc/R′L and the cutoff point is at V2 (the secondary voltage of the transformer).This increases the maximum output swing because the minimum andmaximum values of IC and VCE are spread further apart.

Class B AmplifierOperation

iddhien2008 All Rights Reserved 32

In Class B the dc bias leaves the transistor biased just off. The AC signal turns the transistor on. This is essentially no bias.The transistor only conducts when it is turned on by ½ of the AC cycle.

In order to get a full AC cycle out of a Class B amplifier, you need two transistors.One is an npn transistor that provides the negative half of the AC cycle and the other is a pnp transistor that provides the positive half.
