Abstract

PURPOSE:To change output impedance simply and stably without using a load current detecting resistor having high wattage by dividing voltage drop due to the emitter resistance of push-pull output transistors (TR) and feeding back the divided voltages negatively. CONSTITUTION:Emitter resistors R6, R7 having about 0.1-1OMEGA are inserted between the emitters of output TRs Q1, Q2 in order to obtain thermal stability in an push-pull output stage executing B-type operation by a complementary TR. If the connection point 0 between the resistors R5 and R6 is selected as a point negatively fed back from the output stage, the output impedance is zero, and when the connection point 0' between voltage dividing resistors R3 and R4 connected to the emitter terminals of the output TRs Q1, Q2 is selected, the output impedance is the same value as the emitter resistors R5, R6. Therefore, the output impedance can be changed optionally from zero to the emitter resistance and the influence of a load resistor RL is completely prevented by connecting a variable resistor VR between the connection point 0 of the emitter resistors R5, R6 and the connection point 0' of the voltage dividing resistors R3, R4.

This circuit detects the current flowing through the load resistor RL with the load current detection resistor R6, and feeds back the detected voltage in the form of a voltage, so that a current proportional to the input signal ei flows through the load resistor RL. , which takes advantage of the fact that the output impedance is infinite. In other words, if the variable resistor vR is set to the resistor R4 side that provides voltage feedback, the output impedance becomes zero, and conversely, if the variable resistor vR is set to the resistor R6 side that only provides current feedback, the output impedance becomes infinite, and during this time the power amplifier The output impedance can be freely varied.

However, the circuit shown in FIG. 1 requires the provision of a current detection resistor R6 having a large wattage, and has the drawback that the wiring becomes complicated. Also, if you use a current detection resistor like this,
Another disadvantage is that the negative feedback current is easily influenced by the load resistance RL, and if too much current feedback is applied, it often becomes unstable. Particularly when used as an audio power amplifier, the impedance of the speaker, which is the load resistance, is extremely unstable, and this affects the feedback current, resulting in unstable operation.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Normally, when a push-pull output stage of class B operation using complementary transistors is used in a power amplifier, the output transistor Q1. Q2
An idle link current is passed to reduce switching distortion caused by the output transistor Q1. Emitter resistors R6 and R7 of Q1 to Q19 are inserted into the emitter of Q2. The present invention utilizes these emitter resistors R6 and R7 to obtain a negative feedback voltage. That is, if the point of negative feedback from the output stage is selected as the connection point O between the emitter resistors R6 and R6, the output impedance becomes zero, but the output impedance of the output transistor Q1. If the connection point of the voltage dividing resistors R3 and R4 connected to the emitter terminal of Q2 is selected, each output transistor Q1. The output impedance of the emitter terminal portion of Q2 becomes zero, but at the output terminal 4, emitter resistors R6 and R6 are connected in series, so the output impedance has the same value as these emitter resistors R6 and R6. Therefore, by connecting a variable resistor vR between the connection point O of the emitter resistors R5 and R6 and the connection point 0 of the voltage dividing resistors R3 and R4, and taking out the feedback voltage from its sliding terminal, the output impedance can be reduced. It can be freely varied between zero and emitter resistance. Moreover, load resistance RL
Since it is completely unaffected by this, its operation is extremely stable.

In addition, in Figure 2, if a capacitor is connected in series or parallel to the variable resistor vR, it is possible to give the output impedance a frequency characteristic, and in this way, even better negative feedback can be applied. .
