Class d Pa Amplifier Improves Audio Quality
Compared with Class A/B amplifier, class d Pa amplifier has poor audio performance. It not only has large distortion, but also has narrow dynamic range. Therefore, the current designer of class d Pa amplifier must improve its performance. By integrating high-performance sampling rate converter (SRC) and_-processing technology, the new generation of solutions can greatly improve the distortion (THD+N), and the dynamic range is over 100 dB. Nowadays, one of the noise sources of class d Pa amplifier is the jitter of the audio sampling clock. Clocks are usually generated by SOC (MPEG decoder, DSP, etc.). Even small jitter can rapidly affect the performance of conventional class D amplifiers, because the audio clock is associated with the output clock of the modulator. One way to solve this problem is to use SRC technology. Because SRC uses locally stable clock sources to synchronize digital audio clocks, such as quartz crystal oscillators, So the output jit...
