A simple question, maybe?
There is a company selling class d amps on ebay, strangely enough they're called classdaudio.
Has anyone had any experience with the product ?
The pricing appears to be very attractive, especially as our beloved pacific peso is back in the currency toilet.
Cheers,
Peter.
p.s i've bought one already i'm just waiting for it to get here.

there's a couple of threads on these ClassAB amplifiers.

The company ClassD Audio started by designing and making ClassD amps.
They have branched out into these ClassAB designs.

Thanks for the info. I've just had a look at the datasheet, IR spec the device as a half bridge. Does this mean if two devices are bridged they then become a full bridge ? With all of the attendant pluses ?

[MOER]

Yes the IRS2092 is a half bridge amplifier.

This is a lot of money for a chip which costs less than US$2.00 with a small PCB and some "penny" parts.

We use the IRS20955 in the tens of thousands qty for production and the cost of what you see on Ebay is less tha US$20

The website for the manufacturer is this one: http://classdaudio.com/
They will have SMPS available soon according to some info I got today.
Did anybody here try these? I am curious to say the least.
Cheers!

If by "them" you mean ClassD Audio (a British company), then I think that may not be correct.
These IR-based modules seem to be US made. Who knows...

Thanks for the advice. I will hold on getting one for now...
Do you have any recommendation on a similar module that costs less?

I know... I should build my own, but I need one rather quickly (tested and working) to power my noise source (dodecahedron speaker)

Cheers!

Been there, seen it, and wearing the T-shirt. See my review here, Mini review: Class-D Designs NX200 vs Hypex
