PCB design can limit the performance or reduce the reliability of a class-D amplifier if some basic layout guidelines are not followed. The following describes some good PC board layout practices for ...

The active components of the Class D amplifier are the switching output stage and modulator. This circuitry can be built for roughly the same cost as an analog linear amplifier. The real trade-offs ...

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 ...

Decades of development and high-volume production generated mature amplifier technologies that satisfy the requirements of many market segments. Class A designs address more demanding high-end ...

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 ...

Previously, we wrote about the Louder Raspberry Pi, an open-source media center that integrates the Louder Raspberry Hat ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
