ABSTRACT:
A power amplifier circuit includes an output complementary emitter-coupled transistor pair driven by a second pair of complementary transistors having a parallel resistor diode combination serially connected between their emitters to establish idling currents. Base drive for the output transistors flows through the resistor of the resistor-diode combination until the potential thereacross exceeds the diode forward breakdown potential after which all increases in drive current pass through the diode. The use of the diode limits the bucking potential in the base current drive circuit thereby enhancing available output power.
