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.

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 ...

Peachtree used ESS DAC chips before it was cool, and made the switch from Class AB to Class D amplification before most audiophiles had accepted the fact that Class D really can sound damn good. With ...

The efficiency and size advantages of Class D audio amplification in battery- powered devices are well known. These advantages are now extended to amplifiers up to 500W, made possible by solidstate ...

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 ...
