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.

Geneva — STMicroelectronics unveiled a filterless 3-watt Class D power amplifier today for mobile phones and other portable applications that is said to provide higher audio power output while ...

Because pulse modulation output signals are either on or off, Class D amplifiers produce far less heat than analog amplifiers. Reaching efficiencies greater than 90% compared to only 50% for analog, ...

Class D amps from $130 to $50,000—pulling more ears into hi-fi without demanding you sell a kidney. Solid tech, serious power, and none of the usual overpriced fluff. Finally, affordable doesn’t sound ...

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.

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 ...

Essence just released the DPA-440 Class D Digital Audio Power Amplifier, which is being billed as the killer amp for audiophiles. This $1300 amplifier uses the latest Class D topology to provide a ...

Linear audio amplifiers can provide excellent sound fidelity, but they consume a great deal of power and present significant thermal management challenges, especially in automotive audio systems.

Analog Devices has created a pair of 22V stereo Class-D audio amplifier that idle at 6mA and shut-down to microamps. MAX98415A and MAX98425A are similar, and both including envelope tracking control ...

I've been hosting an outdoor movie event for over 10 years now and have been slowly adding and upgrading equipment. There are usually around 30 people, pretty spread out and up to 50ft away from the ...

[Boolean90] needed an amplifier for a subwoofer, and had a lot of parts sitting around in a scrap bin. His project, a Class D sub amp made out of scrap, is a great example of what you can build with ...

Apogee Technology has complained about some of Texas Instruments Inc.'s Class D claims. In March, TI called itself the first to introduce a single-chip Class D amplifier in the 125-watt/channel range.
