One of my first jobs as an engineer was at Empire Scientific Corp. in Garden City, NY in 1972. This was a high-end audio company that made speakers, turntables and phonograph cartridges. We had some ...

Addressing the core issues of latency and integration in developing audio amplifiers for today’s smart cockpits.

A relatively new technology called the pure digital or Class-D amplifier has been introduced into the audio world. The Class-D architecture allows the input audio signal to stay in its digital format ...

The TIDA-00573 reference design provides a Class D based amplifier solution that allows it to be evaluated in the form factor of a typical Class AB amplifier. The design is optimized to mitigate ...

Fig 1. This shows the spectra of both waveforms when the Class D output is issuing silence (no audio, duty cycle = 50%) with a switching frequency of 333 kHz. Fig 2. The blue line shows the energy ...

Class D amps are simple – just take an input, and use that to modulate a square wave with PWM. Send this PWM signal to a MOSFET or something, and you have the simplest class D amp in existence.

Savant Systems LLC, having delivered the first Apple-based home automation and control system, has announced the introduction of a 16-channel class D amplifier for distributed audio applications.

1. Is Amplifier Weight an Indicator of Robust Amplifier Design? You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before you can generalize about weight ...
