Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
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 musthave 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 signalThe principles of distortionFeedback intermodulation distortionNonswitching output stagesVAS distortion explainedPushpull VAS configurationsOutputinclusive compensationIn 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 crossoverdisplacement principle (invented by the author and in use by Cambridge Audio), fourstage amplifier architectures, error correction, currentmirrors, power transistors with internal sensing diodes, amplifier bridging, inputstagecommonmode 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 solidstate amplifiers and much more. Simple procedures for heatsinking and power supply design are given.
