When properly used, diode bias will prevent
A) crossover distortion and thermal runaway.
B) crossover distortion and saturation clipping.
C) nonlinear distortion and thermal runaway.
D) nonlinear distortion and saturation clipping.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diode bias is used in amplifiers to prevent crossover distortion, which occurs when the signal transitions between positive and negative halves, and thermal runaway, a condition where an increase in temperature causes a device to draw more current, further increasing temperature.
