Hi

I need to learn about transistor amplifiers.

I need to know what class A,B, C mean.

What is the difference.

When do we use class each class.

How to desing transistor amplifier circuits.

Please could you recommend a good book.

Thank you.
 

All General or Specialized Electronic Books have a chapter or more about Amplifiers and specifically Transister Amplifiers!
But Generally here is what I found in amazon.com:
Electronic Amplifiers and Circuit Design (Analog Electronics Series) by Bill Smith (Paperback - Sept. 25, 2009)
Buy new: $24.95 $22.45
7 new from $22.453 used from $35.33

Added after 13 minutes:

This is another great book in electronic circuit design, I personally benefited from this book very much

The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz $99.79

Added after 53 minutes:

This is another good book:
High-Power Audio Amplifier Construction Manual (Paperback)

dear friend
I persnally have learned this kind of of amplifiers through a book my university proffessor recommended.it is : analysis and design of analog integrated circuits.by gray-hursr-lewis-meyer
here is the link to download the book:
**broken link removed**
I hope it helps.
best regards
 

Class A Amp: biased in the middle of the load line when idle: highest power dissipation when idle.

Class B Amp: Used in a push-pull configuration. Biased so that the transistors are just barely on. More efficient and the most common output stage method.

Class C Amp: Biased below the bias turn on. Used Mostly with tuned amplifiers which is an amplifier with an RC resonant circuit to filter harmonics. (RF applications).

Using Class A or B in a power (large signal) application is not much good without feedback. Need to know about poles and zeros in a transfer function.

Just about any electronics book has something about these classes of amps.
