Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diode in the circuit serves multiple purposes: it compensates for the base-emitter voltage drops of the transistors, ensuring that they turn on at the correct point and thus helps in preventing crossover distortion. This configuration also allows for class-AB operation, where both transistors conduct at the same time around the crossover point, reducing distortion.
