[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 ...

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 ...

JFETs are, almost invariably, depletion mode devices, which means that there will be some drain current at a zero-applied gate-source potential. This current will decrease in a fairly linear manner as ...

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

Usually targeted at audio applications, these circuit blocks find homes in all types of designs. Here’s a quick study of their operation and properties. Two of the most often used amplifier building ...
