Abstract

The collectors of a pair of transistors operated quasi-linearly in push-pull are coupled to their load by an autotransformer winding, center-tapped to receive operating potential. The configuration simulates a full-bridge amplifier with operating potential twice as large, insofar as maximum output power capability is concerned.
