(author)This article presents a 28-W class-D amplifier for automotive applications. The combination of a high switching frequency and a hybrid multibit Δ Σ M-PWM scheme results in high linearity over a wide range of output power, as well as low AM-band EMI. As a result, only a small (150-kHz cutoff frequency), and thus low-cost, LC filter is needed...journal article 2020

Zhang, H. (author), Karmakar, S. (author), Breems, Lucien J. (author), Sandifort, Quino (author), Berkhout, Marco (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Fan, Q. (author)This article presents a Class-D audio amplifier for automotive applications. Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and, hence, smaller LC filter size are obtained by employing a fully differential multilevel output stage switching at 4.2 MHz. A modulation scheme with minimal switching activity at zero input reduces idle power, which is...journal article 2020
