1. Classes

1.1. Class A

It is one biased transistor. Which allows large idle current, making it inefficient.

1.2. Class B

It combines NPN and PNP transistors, so that it can trigger regardless of the sign of the signal.

It suffers from zero-crossing distortion, due to the threshold volatage for each transistors.

1.3. Class AB

Class B, but the signal is biased slightly to remove the distortion.

1.4. Class D

It compares the analog signal with the steady triangular wave, and outputs according to the result of the comparison.
