Consider Thermal Dissipation In Class D Audio Power Amplifiers
Designers of multimedia products must provide high-quality audio functions, including high-output speaker modes. This places greater demand on the systemâ??s audio amplifiers. Linear amplifier efficiency is about 50%, so a small increase in output power comes at the cost of a large increase in current consumptionâ??and excessive heat dissipationâ?? which typically requires bulky heatsinks. These thermal considerations are...
