5-4. Amplifier Overload Characteristics
The overload point for some amplifiers is difficult to determine by using sinewave
input. The triangle waveform is ideal for this type of test because any departure
from absolute linearity is readily detectable. By using the triangle output, the peak
overload condition for an amplifier can be readily determined. This overload
condition is shown in shown in FIG 6.
