Working principle and main functions of power amplifier

Today, Topchip Electronic Component Procurement Network will introduce you! The working principle and main functions of power amplifiers.

1、 Working principle of power amplifier

The working principle of a power amplifier (referred to as a power amplifier) is to amplify various sound signals played by the sound source to drive the speaker to produce sound, commonly known as an "amplifier", which is the most basic equipment in a sound system. Its task is to amplify weak electrical signals from the signal source or mixing station to drive the speaker to produce sound. The power amplifier relies on voltage to control the size of the power channel, thus achieving the control of current size. It uses the current control function of a transistor or the voltage control function of a long-acting transistor to convert the power supply into a current that varies according to the input signal, because the sound is in different amplitude and frequency bands, which is the AC signal current.

The current of the transistor and the electrode is always beta times the electrode current, which is the AC amplification factor of the transistor. Applying this, if a small signal is injected into the base electrode, the current flowing through the electrode will be equal to beta times the electrode current. The power amplifier itself uses these functions to achieve small signal control over large signals, enabling multi-level amplifiers to achieve high-power output, rather than truly amplifying power.


2、 The main function of power amplifier

The main function of a power amplifier is to ensure the high restoration of audio signals. Here, we will give you a very simple example. In fact, a power amplifier is similar to a copier we usually use, and the actual function between the two is to replicate something. For example, a copier can copy smaller paper into larger paper. The same function applies to power amplifiers. The copied music is not the original source. After being processed by the power amplifier, the signal is a restored and enhanced version of the original audio, and the volume is slightly higher than the input of the original audio.

Power amplifiers are the largest family of various audio equipment, mainly used to amplify the weak signal input from the sound source equipment and generate enough current to drive the speaker for sound reproduction. Due to consideration of power, impedance, distortion, dynamics, and different usage ranges and control adjustment functions, different power amplifiers also have different internal signal processing, circuit design, and production processes.
