  • Push-Pull is a power amplifier that is used to supply high power to the load.
  • It consists of two transistors in which one is NPN and another is PNP.
  • One transistor pushes the output on a positive half-cycle and the other pulls on a negative half cycle. This is why it is known as a push-pull amplifier.
  • The push-pull Amplifier circuit is as shown:

     F2 S.B Madhu 17.02.20 D1

There are three classifications of Push-Pull amplifier:

  • Class A amplifier
  • Class B amplifier
  • Class AB amplifier

Features of Push-Pull:

  • Class AB type Push – Pull amplifiers suffer from the cross – over distortion.
  • Class B type amplifiers are designed to overcome this problem. It can eliminate distortions and noise that have been occurred in the circuit.
  • Due to the Class B operation, their collector efficiency is quite high (> 50 %)
  • It is capable of generating high gains.
  • There are certain cases where these amplifiers produce harmonic distortions. So depending upon the requirement of the circuit the amplifier is chosen.
