Abstract
A class A bridge topology for audio amplifiers configured to operate in constant current mode, comprising power stages (3,4,5,6) supplied by supplies (8,9) and driven to equal amplitude opposite phase output signals applied across a load (7). Symmetrical current conditions are placed on said power stages to achieve a cancellation of supply currents during signal application to the load. Supplies are current limited to afford non-intrusive protection against overstress.
