Audio Power Amplifier Design by Douglas Self

Audio Power Amplifier Design by Douglas Self

An essential book for amplifier designers and engineers, enabling them to develop reliable, high-performance circuits. Douglas Self covers the major issues of distortion and linearity, power supplies, overload, DC-protection, and reactive loading. He also covers unusual forms of compensation and distortion produced by capacitors and fuses. The only book with in-depth coverage of design and development of audio power amps. Using a design methodology, Self makes it possible to predict practical performance from a theoretical design. This edition includes new coverage of Class D amps, comprehensive updates on technological developments, illustrations of sample circuits, SPICE models, and concise summaries of design guidelines.

Douglas Self has established straightforward but highly effective amplifier design techniques based on sound engineering principles and experimental data. His rigorous and thoroughly practical approach has established him as a leading authority on audio amplifier design. Douglas studied engineering at Cambridge University, then psychoacoustics at Sussex University. He has spent many years working at the top level of design in both the professional audio and hifi industries, and has taken out a number of patents in the field of audio technology. He currently acts as a consultant engineer in the field of audio design.
