Semiconductor Devices: Class B Power Relations

It's time for another "deep dive" into power amplifiers, this time involving the power relations of a class B amplifier. How does the supplied power vary as the load signal is increased? What about the transistor power dissipation and when does it run hottest? These questions and more are addressed.

Professor Fiore, Thank you for putting such great content and breath of these topics. This is basically an EE course online…for Free! I can tell a lot of was put into these presentations. Btw, if I had given it a bit more thought since being a leap year 29 coffees would have been appropriate instead of 25. ps I remember I mentioned the K&R C Prog. Lang. book before, well president Biden said in a speech that everyone should stop using C and C++. Because of memory management issues. Hmmm I wonder how many operating systems will have to re-written!

I learned K&R C. I was happy with the ANSI changes but not crazy about C++. And yes, 29 coffees is better than 25 coffees, assuming you like coffee! Thanks!

Biden discussing memory management, thats interesting !
