研究目的
To present a novel high output power class H audio amplifier design with GaN transistors output stage, focusing on improving efficiency and linearity while reducing THD+N ratio.
研究成果
The proposed class H audio amplifier with GaN transistors output stage achieves a peak output power of 37W with 87% peak power efficiency and a minimum THD+N of -70.17dB. The design allows full class H mode operation across the whole output swing, demonstrating good linearity and efficiency.
研究不足
The design does not include ZVS operation and PWM-PFM dual mode operation, leading to significant switching loss. Mismatches of devices are not considered in the simulation, which could affect the comparison with measurement results.
