For battery operated devices, this class D amplifier is suitable because its high efficiency (85%) helps extend the battery life. In the internal circuitry, a boost converter with over 90% efficiency is provided to step-up the voltage supply, and need only one external inductor as the additional component for this function. When driving 8 ohm [...]

This class-D audio power amplifier is suitable for TV and home stereo set. TDA7882 IC chip provides class-D audio power amplifier solution. Since this chip has only mono channel, you need two pieces of this circuit for stereo application. The power supply voltage is flexible, accept (+-)10V to (+-)25V. This circuit needs a split supply [...]
