Amplifier Class | Description | Conduction Angle |
Class-A | Full cycle 360o of Conduction very low efficiency at around 30% | θ = 2π |
Class-B | Half cycle 180o of Conduction | θ = π |
Class-AB | Slightly more than 180o of conduction with conversion efficiencies reaching about 50% to 60%. | π < θ < 2π |
