4w All Fet Class-a Amp

[DarkHorse]

hi:
have a look with this circuit diagram,can it works well?
I draw this circuit diagram last night...
RP1 control the currency of output stage,set it to 50K at first;
RP2 control the voltage of ouput point(0.22V+1/2Ucc);
SK170 can replace with sk389 or NPD5564(twins);

4 W amp with 1.1 bias current ? What are you waiting from this " miracle " ?

I'd take the gate resistor R8 of the top IRF510 higher --> 510k too, and add a gate resitor >> 10 ohms.
The input/driver will have reduced distortion as you take a higher Vb there, say 50V. This might be a considerable reduction. It is also something that the feedback in the way you design it, cannot correct. This means that RP1 has to increase along the way.
It does have a Pass flavour to it that is nice. Its simple. What do we want more? Well, Q4 is not really needed, and by having a resister it should work out well too methinks.

hi,Upupa Epops :

4W(RMS) is 8W(peak)in sine-wave ,so load is 8ohm,and P=I^2*R,then I=1.0A,so I=1.1A is suitable!
driver stage using SE instead of using bootstrip or using hight-Voltage supply,and it can win more low distortion...

cheers

I don't know where this diagram from!but it's topology so simply that make me so surprise...
this is original schematic which I referenced:

If you take this connection as excercise, so go on. But with four transistors don't wait miracles, although they are relatively modern ones, all is too simply .

haha:

yes,I understand your meaning.
but as a small "kid"(only 4W output power),it's capability was enough strong,THD=0.15%,phase angle is +0.2 degree(20Hz) and -0.7 degree(20KHz).I think it is so great...
all for it's simply.I like it,and hope it's sound can sweet than ZEN2(the class-a amp I have alread build)..

Note that the original circuit is a transconductance amp (current feedback).

hi:

yes,I have note this problem.
current FB is can cut-off the speaker's reverse voltage...
but distortion is too XXX(4%).

see you tomorrow.
