Embedded electronics has continued to ramp up across the automotive landscape, taking on more substantial roles in many applications. One example is the presence of multiple class-D audio amplifiers ...

This application note covers the design of external fault-diagnostic circuitry intended to differentiate between various short-circuit conditions and to provide speaker detection. The system being ...

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 ...

A new book authored by Robert N. Buono delves deeply into Class-D amplifiers, a crucial technology in audio designs. Buono has more than four decades of experience in analog and power electronic ...

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.

In market for a powerful 200 WPC amp? ATI has you covered with two completely different technologies. We compare the AT4000 class A/B and the AT522NC Class-D amplifiers to help you decide. EIA 1kHz ...
