A Zobel is an impedance matching circuit often used with loudspeakers. A Zobel circuit is also known as a Boucherot cell or somewhat incorrectly as an RC snubber. The nominal impedance of a ...

Not everyone can be good at all things. Take, for example, stereo systems. Just because you can build an 800hp motor, doesn't mean you can build a kick-butt system. Thank goodness the world today is ...

Most audiophiles and enthusiasts have grown up with at least a basic understanding of what an amplifier does. It takes a tiny alternating electrical signal that represents the moment-to-moment ...

Technology has democratized the music industry in many obvious ways – notice how every band, regardless of stature, has a MySpace page? But one of technology's more subtle effects has been to make our ...

[Ben Laskowski’s] been working on a Class-D audio amplifier for several months. What you see above is the most recent version of the amp. A class-D amplifier uses transistor switching (or in this case ...

TPA3122D2 IC is used as a class D audio amplifier and can deliver up to 15W of power at 10% distortions. The real advantage of using a class D amp, especially TPA3122 is the fact that this IC doesn’t ...

ISSCC, the International Solid-state circuits conference, is the IEEE’s annual showcase for all that is best in on-chip circuit design from across the globe. Thousands of engineers will flock there ...

Embedded electronics has continued to ramp up across the automotive landscape, taking on more substantial roles in many applications. One example is the presence of multiple class-D audio amplifiers ...

If you have read an amplifier review or looked at the specifications for an amp, the chances are that you have come across a term such as 'Class A/B'. In fact, this is just one of a number of ...
