If you have read an amplifier review or looked at the specifications for an amp, the chances are that you have come across a term such as 'Class A/B'. In fact, this is just one of a number of ...

Class D audio amplifiers have been increasingly famous in the recent years. This article will present the what’s, why’s and how’s of Class-D audio amplifiers. The article will also present audio ...

A new book authored by Robert N. Buono delves deeply into Class-D amplifiers, a crucial technology in audio designs. Buono ...

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, ...

Hang around in any of the many guitar or audiophile forums or discussion boards for long enough, and eventually you’ll come across the arguments over amplifier topologies. One of the more interesting ...

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 ...

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.

Technology has democratized the music industry in many obvious ways – notice how every band, regardless of stature, has a MySpace page? But one of technology's more subtle effects has been to make our ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Class D audio amplifiers are able to fulfill the requirements for audio applications such as mobile handsets, Bluetooth ...

Trade offs in designing with IC and discrete component class D amplifiers including switching speeds, filtering options, and power supply considerations. The switching amplifier, or class D amplifier, ...

A Class D audio amplifier is basically a switching amplifier or PWM amplifier. There are a number of different classes of amplifiers. We will take a look at the definitions for the main ...

As Axiom’s chief R&D engineer Tom Cumberland describes it, a digital amplifier is a “power DAC”, and of course a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is the basis of all digitally recorded media, whether ...
