Amplifier Classes Comparison:

Amplifier Class
Advantages
Disadvantages
Class A Amplifiers
  1. Low Distortion due to low frequency compensation.
  2. Circuit simplicity compared to other amp classes.
  1. Generate lots of heat.
  2. Don’t provide enough power for the effort they consume.
Class A/B Amplifiers
  1. More efficient than class A amps.
  1. High distortion.
Class B Amplifiers
  1. High crossover distortion.
Class D Amplifiers
  1. Very efficient due to low power indulgence.
  2. Low power consumption.
  1. RF interference with other components.
  2. Must be properly shielded and grounded to avoid radiation.
