The almost universal choice in semiconductor power amplifiers is for a unity gain output stage, and specifically a voltage follower. Output stages with gain are not unknown, 1 but they are not common.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are used extensively in modern electronics because they offer high volumetric efficiencies and low equivalent series resistances at attractive prices. These ...

Distortion. Present in every electro-mechanical-acoustical transducer ever built, yet infrequently does one find information (let alone useful information) that describe the type and degree of ...

At one time, almost all electrical loads were linear — those that weren't made up such a small portion of the total that they had little effect on electrical system operation. That all changed, ...

Distortion comes in a huge range of slightly different forms, from subtle analogue warmth to extreme metal fuzz, mild digital imprecision to eardrum-bursting clipping. But what is distortion, what's ...
