REF_AUDIO_A_MA12040

Overview

Audio reference board using highly power efficient analog input multilevel MERUS™ class D amplifier IC

This board is a size optimized implementation example for the highly power efficient MERUS™ analog input multilevel class D amplifier IC 2x40W (MA12040). The IC is specifically targeted for high performance filter-less and heatsink-free audio applications.

  • Configurable number of audio channels:  2xBTL or 1xPBTL
  • Audio input format: analog
  • Recommended supply voltage (PVDD) range: 10V to 18V max.
  • Output noise level: <60uVrms(AW)
  • Dynamic range:  >106dB
  • Idle power consumption at 18V PVDD: <300mW

Summary of features

The multilevel amplifier IC reference board can be used directly for intended audio applications or rapid prototypes

  • Single-voltage-supply amplifier board

Summary of benefits

The board has a small form factor and will fit in most audio designs 

  • Allows users to experience the unique sound quality of a multilevel class D amplifier with an analog input and speaker setup of choice
