A Class D audio amplifier is basically a switching amplifier or PWM amplifier. There are a number of different classes of amplifiers. We will take a look at the definitions for the main ...

If you didn’t know better, you might think the phrase “class A amplifier” was a marketing term to help sell amplifiers. But it is, of course, actually a technical description of an amplifier that ...

There are two salient facts about Class A amplifiers: they are inefficient; they give the best possible distortion performance. The quiescent dissipation of the classic Class A amplifier is equal to ...

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 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 ...
