Maxim Integrated introduces two digital-input Class D power amplifiers that simplify designs, eliminate complicated programming, reduce noise, and hasten time to market. The MAX98355A (pulse-code ...

A new generation of digital-input Class D audio amplifiers achieves high PSRR performance that is comparable to traditional analog Class D amplifiers. More importantly, digital-input Class D ...

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, ...

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.

Class-D audio amplifiers represent a significant advancement in modern audio engineering by utilising high-frequency pulse modulation to drive output stages with exceptional efficiency. Unlike ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

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.
