Task: Explain the difference between the output waveforms of a traditional Class AB amplifier and a Class D amplifier. Illustrate your explanation with a simple sketch of each waveform.
A traditional Class AB amplifier produces a smooth sinusoidal waveform that closely resembles the input signal. This waveform is continuous and has a smooth, rounded shape. In contrast, a Class D amplifier produces a stepped square wave. The output waveform is essentially a series of rectangular pulses that switch between high and low states. This switching action results in a waveform with sharp transitions and a "chopped" appearance. Here are simple sketches to illustrate the difference: **Class AB Amplifier Output:** ``` ___ / \ / \ /_______\ ``` **Class D Amplifier Output:** ``` _____ _____ _____ _____ | || || || | |_____||_____||_____||_____| ```
