This comprehensive book on audio power amplifier design will appeal to members of the professional audio engineering community as well as the student and enthusiast. Designing Audio Power Amplifiers begins with power amplifier design basics that a novice can understand and moves all the way through to in-depth design techniques for very sophisticated audiophiles and professional audio power amplifiers. This book is the single best source of knowledge for anyone who wishes to design audio power amplifiers. It also provides a detailed introduction to nearly all aspects of analog circuit design, making it an effective educational text.

Develop and hone your audio amplifier design skills with in-depth coverage of these and other topics:

Basic and advanced audio power amplifier design

Low-noise amplifier design

Static and dynamic crossover distortion demystified

Understanding negative feedback and the controversy surrounding it

Advanced NFB compensation techniques, including TPC and TMC

Sophisticated DC servo design

MOSFET power amplifiers and error correction

Audio measurements and instrumentation

Overlooked sources of distortion

SPICE simulation for audio amplifiers, including a tutorial on LTspice

SPICE transistor modeling, including the VDMOS model for power MOSFETs

Thermal design and the use of ThermalTrak™ transistors

Four chapters on class D amplifiers, including measurement techniques

Professional power amplifiers

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Industry Reviews

"Essential reading for anyone fascinated by the superficially simple idea of how to make a small electrical signal powerful enough to drive a loudspeaker without degrading that signal in the process." - John Atkinson, Stereophile

"A complete text ideal for newcomers to amplifier design engineering as well as a great reference for practicing audio design engineers already working in the industry. [...] Because of the tiered approach of the first three parts of the book, its usefulness will grow with you as you become more proficient at amplifier design. I'm happy to find a place for this book in my technical library, as should you." - Dennis Fink, Fink Analog Audio, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society
