Class AB amplifier 12V

Class AB Audio Power Amplifier.

Class AB amplifier is an amplifier
configuration that stands somewhere between Class A and Class B configurations.
A small diode biasing voltage keeps the output transistors ON even if there is
no input signal. The transistors will operate normally in their active region
for any small input signal.In simple words, one transistor will be ON for more
than one half cycle of the input signal.? This avoids crossover distortion.
Anyway, a small amount of collector current will flow in the idle condition, but
it is negligible when compared to the Class A configuration. .?A simple, high
quality audio power amplifier that can be operated from 12V dc is shown below.
Such an amplifier is very suitable for car audio applications. The circuit is
very straightforward and uses commonly available components. Power output of
this amplifier is around 10W.

Description.

The circuit is purely based on transistors.
The first stage of the circuit is the long tailed pair (LTP) built around the
transistors Q1 and Q2. Transistors Q10, Q11 and associated components form a
constant current source for the long tailed pair. Resistors R15 and R3 are
biasing resistors. The second stage of the circuit is built around transistor
Q3. Transistors Q9 and Q6 form a constant current source for the second stage.
Resistor R8 is the feedback resistor and it plays a vital role in reducing
distortion. The final power amplification stage of the circuit is based on the
complimentary pairs Q8 and Q5. Q7 and Q4 are the driver transistors for Q8 and
Q5 respectively. Audio output is coupled to the loud speaker through capacitor
C3.?D1 and D2 are biasing diodes. C4 is the power supply filter capacitor. This
amplifier circuit can be operated from anything between 12 to 16 volts.

Notes.

Use 12V DC for powering the amplifier.

An optional 10K POT can be added in series to the input for volume
control.

Use a 4 ohm/20W speaker as the load.

Transistors Q8 and Q5 must be fitted to a proper sink.
