Since circuit-based solutions for increasing the efficiency of Class AB audio amplifiers have reached their peak, this article presents a non-circuit-based approach for the same purpose. The output transistors of this class of amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of thermal energy, resulting in relatively low amplifier efficiency and requiring the transistors to be mounted on large heatsinks. This study was conducted with the aim of capturing the waste heat energy dissipated by the output transistors and converting it into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (TEGs), which can then be used to increase the efficiency of the amplifier system. In addition to improving efficiency, this study aims to determine the extent to which heatsinks with smaller dimensions can be used in combination with the amplifier through the use of TEGs, potentially leading to a wider commercial application of Class AB audio amplifiers. The experimental results show that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of TEGs reached 1.097% in the best case, indicating a potential increase of 0.275% in the overall efficiency of the amplifier system. These results show that the low thermoelectric efficiency of TEGs is a limiting factor that prevents a breakthrough in improving the efficiency of the power amplifier system with the proposed non-circuit-based approach.
