Abstract :
In a new alternative class-B push-pull amplifier circuit the operating points of the transistors lie at low voltages and high currents. In this way the circuit offers maximal linear gain and minimal nonlinearity, combined with high efficiency in the operating point area. With regard to its structure, the new circuit is dual to conventional push-pull amplifier circuits
