11. THD-Enhanced Bias Circuit Design Targets Class AB Buffers
    Peter Demchenko
    Circuits Analogue Design Texas Instruments OPA2134
    Bias circuits for class AB buffers (Fig. 1a) can take several forms. One alternative (not necessarily the best) is usually called the “old V BE doubler” (Fig. 1b). Figure 1. The typical class AB buffer (a) can use a number of bias ...
