Audio Amp Crossover Distortion?

Started by Bill Bowden January 12, 2012
I see excessive crossover distortion with this audio amp not shown
with LTspice. It simulates ok, but the wired circuit produces about a
50uS dead time step as the signal crosses the mid point. I tried
increasing the bias with no help. Both inputs to the op-amp look good
with no distortion. Any idea what is going on?

I see excessive crossover distortion with this audio amp not shown
with LTspice. It simulates ok, but the wired circuit produces about a
50uS dead time step as the signal crosses the mid point. I tried
increasing the bias with no help. Both inputs to the op-amp look good
with no distortion. Any idea what is going on?


** You need to post a schematic  -  dickhead.

Totally  SMARTARSE of you to post only a Spice list on SEB.

Grow up, jackass. Download and install LTspice IV: http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/ -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.
