Apparatuses and methods involving amplification circuit with push-pull waveshaping operation

Abstract

In certain examples, methods and semiconductor structures are directed to circuit-based apparatus in which an amplifier includes stacked, first and second circuit amplification stages to operate out of phase from one another for providing a push-pull operation, with each of the first and second circuit stages including a switching circuit and an impedance path to drive the switching circuit. The apparatus further includes a waveform-shaping circuit to shape, in response to each of the first and second circuit stages, a voltage signal for presentation to the switching circuit. As may be implemented in various more-specific examples, the apparatus may generate a constant output voltage with high efficiency across a wide range of resistive loads.
