Self D. Audio Power Amplifier Design 6ed 2013 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book appeared in its Fifth edition in 2009. Since then I have done a good deal of research
to improve our knowledge of solid-state power amplifiers and their design issues, partly in the
course of my consultancy work, and partly in the spirit of scientific enquiry. As a result this
edition has been greatly extended, the number of chapters increasing from 21 to 30.
The many new topics include: the characteristics of the audio signal, the principles of
distortion, error-correction, non-switching output stages, the details of VAS distortion, push pull VAS configurations, opamp-array power amplifiers, series output stages, output-inclusive
compensation, the optimisation of output coils, the power dissipation in various kinds of
amplifiers, and a brief history of solid-state amplification. A complete procedure for designing
the heatsinking and power supply is given, going down to the detail of fuse ratings and
reservoir ripple-current. Five amplifier design examples that illustrate important design
principles are closely examined.
The only material that has been removed is that dealing with some of the more specialised
types of balanced line input stages. This information can now be found, in much expanded
form, in my book, Small Signal Audio Design. However, the line input chapter has also had
some completely new material added on instrumentation amplifiers which is of special
importance to power amplifiers
