Lecture description

Great audio experiences are a growing customer demand as the automotive industry continues to evolve. This demand for audio quality brings designers of automotive audio systems face to face with the challenges of meeting the cost-size-performance constraints that this industry uniquely presents – audio amplifiers for automotive applications must be small, lightweight, and low cost while also keeping the highest energy efficiency and providing superior audio performance. In this talk, Tomasz Chumięcki will discuss ways to solve this unique design-performance problem, going into detail on:

• Common traits for modern class-D automotive amplifiers.
• How modern amps are designed with multi-channels and size in mind. 
• The specific design challenges related to class-D topology.
• Trade-offs between performance, energy efficiency and cost and optimization of these 3 parameters
• Output filter design choices using different components and PCB layout approaches.
• How to measure the performance of a design.

Join us after the talk for an Audio Precision live measurement demonstration at the Axiometrix Solutions booth no. 643, hall A3
