How is crossover distortion removed?

  • A.Increase the supply voltage to the output stage
  • B.Reduce the load impedance the stage must drive
  • C.Add a capacitor across the output devices
  • D.Bias both devices slightly into conduction

Answer: D

Giving each device a small quiescent current so that both conduct near the zero crossing turns class B into class AB and closes the gap in the transfer characteristic. Supply voltage, load impedance and shunt capacitance do nothing about it. The cost is a little standing dissipation and a small loss of efficiency, which is why nearly every practical audio output stage is class AB rather than either pure class.
