Pontoon Amplifier Constructions Incorporating Error-Feedback Location of Floating Power Supplies

Authors: Hawksford, Malcolm J.

AES Convention 78 · Paper 2247 · May 1985

Abstract

A redefinition of the role of the line amplifier and power amplifier is forwarded as a more optimum construction for both minimising power supply related error signals and improving system transparency, within an economic framework. A methodology offering a quasi-bridge and a symmetric, differential bridge structure incorporating floating supplies (pontoon amplifier) complements this new proposal, and a novel topology using error-feedback location of the floating supplies is presented.
