Macro-Tech 3600VZ power amplifier shall be a solid-state two-channel
model employing multi-mode (AB+B) grounded bridge(TM) output circuitry with a
variable impedance (VZ) power supply for each channel.

The outputs shall be switchable as stereo, bridged-mono or parallel-mono modes
of operation. The bridged-mono mode shall bridge the outputs to provide increased
output voltage. The parallel-mono mode shall parallel the outputs to provide
increased output current.

The output impedance of each channel shall be less than 10 milliohms in series with
less than 2 microhenries in stereo mode.

The variable impedance power supplies shall reduce unnecessary voltage across the
output devices by automatically switching to a parallel mode when less voltage is
required by the output circuitry and to a series mode when more voltage is required.

required by the output circuitry and to a series mode when more voltage is required.
The amplifier shall contain protection circuitry which limits the drive level placed on
the output devices before their SOA (Safe Operating Area) is exceeded. This protec-
tion circuitry shall calculate the instantaneous voltage across and current through
the output devices while factoring in their simulated junction temperatures to predict
how close they are to their operating limits. This protection will be called “ODEP.”

The amplifier shall contain controlled slew-rate voltage circuitry to protect it against
radio frequency interference burnouts. It shall also be protected from current over-
load at its output stage. The slew rate of the amplifier shall be greater than 30 volts
per microsecond in stereo mode.

The amplifier shall temporarily go into a stand-by mode if its power transformer
becomes excessively hot and shall automatically resume normal operation once it
has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
