Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook, 5th Edition

Abbreviations

 

I have kept the number of abbreviations used to a minimum. However, those few are used extensively, so a list is given in case they are not all blindingly obvious:

BJT	Bipolar junction transistor
CFP	Complementary feedback pair
C/L	Closed loop
CM	Common mode
CMOS	Complementary metal oxide semiconductor
CMRR	Common-mode rejection ratio
CTF	Current timing factor
DF	Damping factor
DSP	Digital signal processing
EF	Emitter-follower
EFA	Emitter-follower added
EIN	Equivalent input noise
ESR	Equivalent series resistance
FEA	Finite element analysis
FET	Field-effect transistor
HF	Amplifi er behavior above the dominant pole frequency, where the open-loop gain is usually falling at 6 dB/octave
IAE	Integrated ...
