The purpose of this graduate capstone project was to design a current feedback based audio amplifier which meets a specific set of design specifications. Current feedback is a type of amplifier topology which is in contrast to voltage feedback. Current feedback has the properties of high slew rate, wide bandwidth, low distortion, and gain/bandwidth independence. Voltage feedback has limitations in those respects. The only points where current feedback is limited by comparison is in its levels of gain and stability, which are addressed in the project development.
The design of the amplifier was approached through extensive research on the subjects of current feedback topology and audio amplification. It was determined that the most important aspect of designing the amplifier is analyzing it in terms of major sections, and then further analyzing those major sections on a sub-section basis. Specific components can then be selected and incorporated into a basic, but essential circuit layout. Iterative testing and design alteration then allows the circuit performance to be developed.
Testing of the amplifier circuit in simulation (Multisim) provided several key results. The specified bandwidth, total harmonic distortion, and signal-to-noise ratio were achieved, but the slew rate, closed-loop gain, and RMS power output fell short. It is believed that these shortcomings were due to the way frequency compensation was implemented, and is discussed further in detail in this report.
