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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analog amplifiers are cataloged by how much current flows during each wave cycle. Measured in degrees, 360º means current flows 100% of the time. The more current, the more inefficient and the more ...

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.

A class-D puts out a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal instead of the typical class-AB amplifiers linear signal The PWM signal contains the audio signal and the PWM switching frequency plus harmonics ...

A relatively new technology called the pure digital or Class-D amplifier has been introduced into the audio world. The Class-D architecture allows the input audio signal to stay in its digital format ...

Class D amplifiers are revolutionizing the audiophile world, delivering top-tier sound without the hefty price tag. Discover how brands like NAD, Topping, and SMSL are making high-quality audio ...

High-fidelity sound reproduction enthusiasts are the latest beneficiaries of Gallium Nitride (GaN)’sfundamental qualities, as it provided these audiophiles respite in their challenging environment.

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 ...
