Explanation:
suggestion

Ref1
You can mitigate the crossover distortion by making two Vin signals with an opamp stage, where the Vin+ is biased up by almost a diode drop, and Vin- is biased down by almost a diode drop. Come to think of it, if you make two Vin voltages like that, you can clip them so that you don't have to worry about the BE reverse breakdown issue. Vin+ doesn't have to be allowed to go negative, and Vin- doesn't have to be allowed to go positive. Just limit them with diodes in the opamp circuit.

C'est un truc arithmétique très utilisé en Informatique pour favoriser le choix d'une solution en cas d'ambiguité, d'équivalence ou plus généralement, d'incertitude.
