Transformer Coupled Audio Power Amplifier

transformer coupled transistor power amplifier stage

Transformer Coupled Audio Power Amplifier: Untuned large signal amplifier (power amplifier) of class AB and B type invariably use transformer coupled stages while those of class A type also generally use transformer coupled stage. RC coupled stages are not used because the quiescent current flawing through the load resistor results in large wastage of dc power in it. This dc power dissipated in the load resistor does not contribute to the useful ac output power. Further flow of dc current through the output device is not desirable. Hence it is…
