The features of power amplifiers:

  • As the power amplifiers are handling a large amount of power it is important to transfer maximum power to the load.
  • To do so, impedance matching between the o/p impedance of the power amplifier and load has to be ensure.
  • Because the loads like loudspeakers are having low impedance. 
  • Power amplifiers are also having low output impedance to match to the load. 
  • The common collector or emitter follower circuit is normally used as the power amplifier because it has a low o/p impedance. 
  • Due to the use of heat sinks and large size power transistors, the power amplifiers’ become bulky.
  • A transformer may also be used for impedance matching on the o/p side.
