Audio Power Amplifier Design - Douglas Self - Bog

An essential book for amplifier designers and engineers, enabling them to develop reliable, high-performance circuits. Douglas Self covers the major issues of distortion and linearity, power supplies, overload, DC-protection, and reactive loading. He also covers unusual forms of compensation and distortion produced by capacitors and fuses. The only book with in-depth coverage of design and development of audio power amps. Using a design methodology, Self makes it possible to predict practical performance from a theoretical design. This edition includes new coverage of Class D amps, comprehensive updates on technological developments, illustrations of sample circuits, SPICE models, and concise summaries of design guidelines.
