AB  - An obstacle blocking wide acceptance of power MOSFETS in audio amplifiers is the lack of an automatic bias technique. A unique circuit topology senses and maintains quiescent current despite the half-wave pulses inherent in class AB operation. Performance of the circuit, consisting of little more than a differential amplifier driving a totem pole output, rivals that of more complex circuits.
