Rather, the class indicates the fundamental operational principle of the circuit. The definition of class A is that signal current in the collector flows 360^{\circ} out of the cycle. All of the amplifiers that were presented in the prior chapter are class A designs. In class B, i_C flows for just 180^{\circ}, and for class D, i_C is discontinuous; the transistor is used as a switch.
