Different Forms of Class D Amplification Though we may think that “digital” means all the circuits in a digital amplifier work in on/off pulses, in fact there are a number of different types, ...

To demo this, [Afrotech] used TI’s TPA3122 class d amplifier chip. It’s a pretty cheap chip for being a 15 Watt stereo amplifier, and the circuit is simple enough to build on a breadboard.

Apogee Technology has complained about some of Texas Instruments Inc.'s Class D claims. In March, TI called itself the first to introduce a single-chip Class D amplifier in the 125-watt/channel range.

See amplifier, PWM and PDM. Less Heat than Analog Because pulse modulation output signals are either on or off, Class D amplifiers produce far less heat than analog amplifiers.

Articles Fear and Loathing in Class D Amplifiers: What $130 to $50K Actually Buys You Class D amps from $130 to $50,000—pulling more ears into hi-fi without demanding you sell a kidney. Solid tech, ...

Amplifier Chip Solution In a class D amplifier, the audio signal is compared with a sawtooth wave switching at a frequency very much higher than the audio range (Fig. 1) .

The lower dissipation of Class D saves the cost (and space) of cooling apparatus like heat sinks or fans. A Class D integrated-circuit amplifier may be able to use a smaller and cheaper package than ...

Class D is particularly attractive in portable applications because it helps extend battery life. Complete 3-W class D amplifiers are now available in packages as small as 1.5 by 1.5 mm.

Diversifying its product line, the new Extron XPA Ultra Amplifiers offer professionals integrators more channels of amplification in small footprint packages. The commercial electronics manufacturer, ...

AMP-1640 is an ultra-efficient Class D amplifier delivering 16 channels of reliable amplification rated at 40 Watts per channel into 8- Ohms in a 3 rack-space metal enclosure. The extraordinary power ...

[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 wit… ...

I hadn't heard of Fosi or class-D amplifiers until a few weeks ago. I had an old AudioSource amp in our whole-house wired setup die and they came up when searching for a replacement.
