Large signal operation • When the Q point is at the center of the dc load line, the signal cannot use all of the ac load line without clipping. • MPP < VCC • MP = ICQreor VCEQ (whichever is smaller) • MPP = 2MP • When the Q point is at the center of the ac load line: ICQre= VCEQ

vout Crossover distortion in class B +VCC R1 Q1 R2 R3 vin RL Q2 R4
Class AB • Crossover distortion is caused by the barrier potential of the emitter diodes. • ICQ must be increased to 1 to 5 percent of IC(sat) to eliminate crossover distortion. • The new operating point is between class A and B but is much closer to B.
Thermal runaway • When temperature increases, collector current increases. • More current produces more heat. • Compensatingdiodes that match the VBE curves of the transistors are often used. • Any increase in temperature reduces the bias developed across the diodes.
