Abstract
The present invention relates to an output stage of a power amplifier of an A-AB type. The output stage adopts a biasing compensating circuit with parallel-connection voltage regulation and quick thermal tracking. The output stage is formed by combining a pre-push stage and a complementary feedback pair with low distortion, wherein the pre-push stage is connected into an emitter follower of an A type; the complementary feedback is formed by connecting PNP/NPN transistors. The pre-push stage adopts two parallel voltage stabilizing circuits with two efficiency output ends to provide a positive emitter power supply and a negative emitter power supply, and a pre-push transistor is tightly and thermally coupled with a push transistor of an output transistor pair. The good biasing stability can be arranged in a short time or a long time, and thus, the distortion is decreased; the saturation voltage drop is reduced; the efficiency is enhanced.
Description
What the present invention relates to is a kind of push-pull current amplifier that adopts parallel voltage-stabilizing heat to follow the tracks of biasing circuit, is mainly used in the following linear power amplifier of 500K HZ, as audio frequency amplifier.
Usually the power output stage design is adopted category-B or AB class push-pull circuit and is connected into voltage-tracing device mode, because efficient is higher so comparatively speaking.Sort circuit can select for use ambipolar pipe, field effect transistor and IGBT pipe to make efferent duct.How just can provide bias voltage to set up the intermodulation distortion of best quiescent current, reduction output stage? how just to make at supply voltage and ambient temperature changes or under the situation that semiconductor junction changes, it is stable that this bias voltage also must keep.
Though this problem has a lot of solutions, also there are following some shortcomings in what:
1), the circuit complexity, cost is higher;
2), regulative mode is very sensitive, unfavorable batch process;
3), because hot delay of feedback causes short time overcompensation (overcompensation causes quiescent current temporarily to descend, and follows intermodulation distortion to rise);
4), saturation voltage drop is bigger, efficient reduces;
5), the delay of local feedback loop causes the coefficient of stability to descend.
The objective of the invention is at above-mentioned deficiency, propose that a kind of to obtain current gain higher, the power output stage that distortion is very low, and the saturation voltage drop of this output stage is little, be applicable to the wide power voltage range, the power amplifier of big electric current, broadband operation, for example audio frequency amplifier, and can drive the load of complicated impedance operator, as loud speaker.

Advantage of the present invention:
Common circuit adopts two to three grades of complementary emitter follower designs, and obtains the heat feedback from the big radiator of power tube, causes temporary transient overcompensation owing to the heat feedback has time-delay, thereby causes intermodulation distortion.The present invention can guarantee that quiescent current will never drop to the level that causes intermodulation distortion, and transient distortion and of short duration intermodulation distortion also are avoided.Concrete advantage of the present invention can also be described below:
Even if 1 low load impedance (less than 4 ohm), highest audio scope (20KHZ) is no matter guarantee extremely low distortion and the signal level height too.Usually, intermodulation distortion is a subject matter during low level, and transistor current gain and other nonlinearities in parameters become subject matter during the big electric current of high level.This advantage will increase 10dB at least in conventional design total negative feedback could obtain.

F) in case after quiescent current was set, this module has become one in fact can extensively be used, and can the inner promotion level of changing, can directly be inserted in any one output design as shown and need not other adjustment.
About the 3rd shunt regulator 3SR
Prime power amplifier output stage must be worked under the situation that power supply alters a great deal sometimes, for example from+/-50V is to=1-25V, and the quiescent current of output stage stable as much as possible be crucial, the influence that must do not powered in other words and change, adopt the basic circuit of two shunt regulators, be close under the perfect situation at these two shunt regulators (be internal resistance less than 0.1 ohm, and under the very big situation of temperature change, have stable voltage) can work finely.In most examples, it is very important requiring quiescent current to keep highly stable under optimum value, so just being necessary to increase the 3rd shunt regulator as shown in Figure 4 (is made up of two transistor 2SD669 and 2SA970 with the stability that strengthens quiescent current, in this case, when 2SD669 and two are pre-when promoting pipe and promoting the equal thermal coupling of pipe (being installed on the same module radiator), can obtain best heat and follow the tracks of: the two couples of 2SB649 and 2SD669 are all like this.
