A block diagram of an audio PWM amplifier is shown in Figure B.5. An audio ampli- fier using PWM is referred to as a class D amplifier. The Philips TDA8920 is a typical class D power amplifier IC, with two 50W audio amplifiers operating at up to 90% effi- 252 Appendix B Figure B.5 PWM audio amplifier. ciency. Class D audio amplifiers typically switch at hundreds of kHz to avoid influenc- ing the audio output with the PWM frequency. The advantages of PWM for audio appli- cations are the same as for any other application: better driver efficiency, smaller power supplies, and less heating.
