LT1166 Datasheet (Linear Technology) - Power Output Stage Automatic Bias System

LT1166, Power Output Stage Automatic Bias System

The LT®1166 is a bias generating system for controlling class AB output current in high powered amplifiers.

When connected with external transistors, the circuit becomes a unity-gain voltage follower.

The LT1166 is ideally suited for driving power MOSFET devices because it eliminates all quiescent c
