CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS DYNAMIC POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT The dynamic power supply system featured in the final stage of the A-60 power amplifier varies ‘the voltage applied to the power transistor in accordance to the signal level. The result is reduced heat loss and higher efficiency. Operating Principles The basic circuitry is outlined in Fig. 7-1. There are two Vi and VL power lines. The signal output vo is compared with final stage power voltage va by differentiator, va being obtained by controlling Vu. With the va input applied to the differentiator being offset by Es (several volts), the va waveform is traced, va being several volts larger than vo. If, however, vo is less than VL — Es, va is fixed at the VL level (see Fig. 7-2). ‘The purpose of the high-region ON circuit is to avoid irregularities from occurring where va can no longer follow vo at high signal frequencies, and to prevent high-speed continuous operation in the control transistor. That is, when high frequency signals appear at the output, the control transistors (@3 and Q4) are tured fully on, and va is fixed at the Vii level. ‘A-60 Dynamic Power Supply Circuit ‘The overall circuit structure is outlined in Fig.7-3. Vi is fixed so as to obtain the rated ‘output (about 75W) for a 49 load, and the high region ON circuit is designed to operate at fre- quencies above 3kHz. The SPEAKER IMPE- DANCE switch set to the 42 ~ 62 position fixes the power supply to the final stage transistor at the Vi. level Erie Fig, 7-1.
