MeloManiac Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 As a non-tech person, I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain this in 'lain terms': "In classic linear amplifiers at high frequencies the interelectrodes spurious capacitances act as bandwith reduction elements.In linear amplifiers tubes with spurious capacitances of the order of few tens pF are only suitable for audio circuits, as they can not be used in radio frequency applications.Driving the same audio tubes in switching mode with positive grid, the effect of these capacitances is only in the reduction of the maximum slope speed at the edges of the switching signals.Audio application specific triodes (with relative high spurious capacitances) can provide edges within the tens nanoseconds range, allowing the bridges to operate at several hundreds KHz switching frequency.These results can be achiede if the triodes are connected by the means of matched impedance transmission lines, whose control the signal edge distorsions avoiding the effect of signal reflections along the line.The lines have also to be lenght matched in order to provide the same propagation delay for each signal edge coming from the grid drivers to the triodes or from the triodes to the load output."
