Class B Amplifier
In class B, the transistor is
biased just off. The AC signal
turns the transistor on.

The Standard or Basic Class-B push-pull Amplifier(contd)
• During the positive half
cycle of the AC input,
transistor Q1 (npn) is
conducting and Q2 (npn) is
off.
• During the negative half
cycle of the AC input,
transistor Q2 (npn) is
conducting and Q1 (npn) is
off.

Why push-pull amplifier use?
Why the standard or Basic push-pull Amplifier less
commonly use in the modern electronics?
Why complementary symmetry amplifiers preferred
over the push-pull Amplifiers?
Why pnp transistor use in the complementary
symmetry push-pull Amplifier?
What is the current source and the current sink?
Which one transistor works as a current source?
Which one transistor works as a current sink?
Which one transistor works as a push?
Which one transistor works as a pull?

Current sources and loads
when driving a reactive load we need to
supply current at some times (the output acts
as a current source)
at other times we need to absorb current (the
output acts as a current sink)
9
Current sources and current sink
the circuit above is a good current source but
a poor current sink (stored charge must be
removed by RE)
an alternative circuit using pnp transistors
(below) is a good current sink but a poor
current source

Complementary-symmetry
class-B Push-Pull amplifiers
Push-pull amplifiers
combining these
circuits can produce
an arrangement that
is both a good current
source and a good
current sink
this is termed a
push-pull amplifier
11
Complementary-symmetry class-B
Push-Pull amplifiers
Since one part of the
circuit (T1) pushes the
signal high during the
positive +ve half-cycle
and the other part of the
circuit (T2) pulls the
signal low during the
negative -ve half cycle, of
the input AC signal the
circuit is referred to as a
push-pull circuit
12
The Complementary-symmetry
Push-Pull Amplifier Stages
As Vin increases, Q1 is on and pushes a current into RL.(During positive +ve half cycle of the input of AC signal.
As Vin decreases, Q2 is on and pulls a current out of R L. .(During negative -ve half cycle of the input of AC signal.

Input DC power
The power supplied to the load by an amplifier is
drawn from the power supply
The amount of this DC power is calculated using
Pi ( dc ) VCC I dc
The DC current drawn from the source is the
average value of the current delivered to the
load
14
Input DC power
The current drawn from a single DC supply has the
form of a full wave rectified signal, while that drawn
from two power supplies has the form of half-wave
rectified signal from each supply
On either case the average value for the current is
given by I 2 I

amplifier second arrangement
In practical power amplifier circuits it is
preferable to uses npn for both transistors
Since the push pull connection requires
complementary devices, a pnp high power
transistor must be used.
This can be achieved by using the circuit shown

Crossover Distortion
There is a slight problem associated with the push pull amplifier
arrangement. Transistors require a 0.7V difference between the base

Harmonic Distortion
According to
Fourier analysis,
if a signal is not
purely
sinusoidal, then
it contains
