42.1 Description

The Audio Class D Amplifier (CLASSD) is a digital input, Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output stereo Class D amplifier. It features a high-quality interpolation filter embedding a digitally-controlled gain, an equalizer and a de-emphasis filter.

On its input side, the CLASSD is compatible with most common audio data rates. On the output side, its PWM output can drive either:

  • high-impedance single-ended or differential output loads (Audio DAC application) or,
  • external MOSFETs through an integrated non-overlapping circuit (Class D power amplifier application).
Note: CLASSD is stereo but depending on the available I/O at the product level, only one (right or left) channel may be accessed. Refer to the product "Pin Description" table.
