Designing Audio Power Amplifiers
Second Edition
The second edition of Designing Audio Power Amplifiers,was published in 2019.
It is available at Amazon and at the Routledge web site. The 776-page second
edition comprises 36 chapters, including 5 new chapters compared to the first
edition. Many of the chapters of the first edition have been substantially updated
and expanded. The art and science of audio power amplifier design is covered in
a way that is intended to be readable and valuable to professionals, enthusiasts
and educators alike. In order to cover audio power amplifier design with depth
and breadth, many foundational electrical engineering subjects are covered as
well. These include circuit design, semiconductors, low-noise design, feedback
compensation, SPICE simulation, switch-mode power supplies and others.
Coverage of these subjects makes the book a valuable resource for electrical
engineering that goes well beyond the subject of audio power amplifiers.
I have tried to make the book both broad and deep, with 36 chapters covering
both foundational and advanced aspects of amplifier design. Two chapters are
dedicated to SPICE simulation and modeling, and four chapters are dedicated to
class D amplifiers. Three of the new chapters cover low-noise design,
professional power amplifiers and switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), all in
some depth. Take a quick tour of the book by clicking below to see the Preface,
Chapter Listing, and Table of Contents. Whether you are new to amplifier design
or a seasoned professional with years of experience, I think you’ll enjoy the read.
