  • Why I Design Current Feedback Amplifiers

    A considerable amount has been written about voltage feedback amplifiers (VFA) over the years, but comparatively little attention has been paid to current feedback (CFA) types.  Both Robert Cordell and Douglas Self focus almost exclusively on VFAs, with little to no in-depth analysis or consideration of CFAs as viable alternatives to the prevailing VFA-dominated linear…

  • Augmented Feedback Error Correction (AFEC)

    AFEC is a simple technique that augments the feedback of an amplifier to dramatically improve the Large Signal Non-linearity (LSN) distortion performance by up to 20 dB across the audio band. Additionally, AFEC acts to remove any DC offsets and also improve PSRR significantly. Augmenting the feedback in a manner similar to that described in…
