Amplifiers: modeling of power losses and energy storage
As all physical systems, amplifiers suffer from power losses and energy storage.
Presentation
The presentation “Amplifiers: power losses and energy storage” introduces high-level modeling techniques for such effects. It also briefly introduces a classification of amplifiers, based on the operation of the stage that drives the load.

Amplifiers: voltage and current drive capability
The static and dynamic voltage and current drive capabilities of amplifiers are limited.
Presentation
The presentation “Amplifiers: voltage and current drive capability” gives description methods for these effects.
