Texas Instruments

Published Date: 09/01/2005

Description

This application report explains the different types of audio power amplifier configurations such as the single-ended (SE) the bridge-tied load (BTL) and the fully differential audio amplifier. Each configuration is illustrated with a block diagram gain equations and an example using realistic scenarios to illustrate to engineers how to calculate the gain of their audio amplifier.
