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.
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 ...
This article was originally published in the Dec 14, 1998 issue of Electronic Design. Class-D audio power amplifiers (APAs) were first introduced nearly 50 years ago. Since then, they have been used ...
These portable systems would benefit from using Class D amps to achieve better power efficiency, longer battery life and lower parts counts, said Eric Droge, audio amplifier product-marketing manager ...
The efficiency and size advantages of Class D audio amplification in battery- powered devices are well known. These advantages are now extended to amplifiers up to 500W, made possible by solidstate ...
Integrated amplifiers have become very popular again with audiophiles for a few reasons and we think it’s fair to say that expensive separates are becoming less relevant. Build quality matters.
Class D amplifiers generally use a low-pass filter to attenuate the switching noise in the output waveform while passing the audio signal to the loudspeaker, but many engineers are not familiar with ...
Firstly I'd like to point out that "digital amps" is a misnomer. There are two categories: Analog-controlled class D. Switching amplifiers with an analog input signal ...
Following an international debut at the High End audio show in Munich last year, UK hi-fi brand Chord Electronics has now announced global availability of its "class-leading" 125-watt Ultima ...
There’s a mystique in audiophile circles about tube amplifiers. They can have a very nice sound which is attributed to their even-harmonic distortion, but they are often portrayed as requiring rare ...
