Abstract: A wide bandwidth, multi-FET current sharing output stage, MOS audio power amplifier employs multiple feedback loops. An audio input is supplied to a voltage feedback amplifier stage driving a push-pull voltage gain/phase splitter stage. A bias adjustment stage driven from the push-pull voltage gain/phase splitter stage drives a current drive stage. The current drive stage drives an output stage comprising a plurality of paralleled current shared individual MOS output transistors driving an output node connected to a load. Up to three feedback loops are employed. A first voltage feedback loop comprises a voltage feedback stage having an input connected to a voltage divider driven from the first terminal of the load and an output connected to a feedback input node in the voltage feedback amplifier stage.
