Zhang, Miao (author)Class-D amplifiers are widely used in automotive audio systems because of their high efficiency. In modern car sound systems, multiple amplifiers are used to provide good audio effect. However, typical class-D amplifiers have a high idle-power, which can drain the battery quickly. To solve this problem, an ultra-low idle power class-D amplifier...master thesis 2019
