In comparison to the Class D amplifier, ClassHD® is a switching amplifier and power supply technology which uses tracking to achieve the benefits of improved SNR, lower distortion, reduced EMI, reduced idle power consumption and higher efficiency. Unlike a regular Class D amplifier, the ClassHD® amplifier’s supply rails are maintained at a level just high enough to produce the voltage swing needed by the music at any point in time.
ClassHD® is best suited for applications which have:
ClassHD® is best suited for applications which have:
- Stringent space constraints for amplifier electronics
- Concern with total heat dissipation
- Concern with electromagnetic interference
- Total system power above 300W
- Superb SNR and THD+N performance
- High power efficiency requirements
- Impedance headroom
- 0.5 Watt standby requirement
