Ultimate sounded Class D for diy without custom made IC's like Tripath TA2020

[tiefbassuebertr]

I note, that the most diy projects use only integrated solutions like follow pics:

but unfortunately no discrete ( I would better say "quasi discrete") solutions with Op-Amps and comparators I can find here with explicit analysing;

What is therefore the reason?
Is there no "Nelson Pass" or "John Curl" of Class-D designs (easy design, very high switching rate arround 10 MHz and good to understand circuit)?

Follow topology is more for beginners but not for top class requirements:
Selfoscillating class D amplifier

The topologies about this threads are good suited base for start own developement projects because the sound quality reach a certainly quality level:

and

but no detailled schematic diagram and circuit description is to be discover.

The only discrete schematic, that is to find here, is my own created from ICEPOWER, unfortunately not finished:

Does the use of a mosfet driver fall under "quasi discrete" or "integrated solution" by your definition?

If it's close enough to "quasi discrete" for you, then this thread is a good read........

UcD like topology amp.

[Ouroboros]

If you get a good understanding of the UCD circuit topology and how the amplifier works, you'll find it is easy to design one using a high-speed comparator for the front end, followed by a suitable MOSFET gate driver chip to drive the output FETs. There's enough information on this site, and on other websites for you to get a thorough understanding of the circuit operaration.
Don't even think about trying to switch at 10MHz. With a post-filter NFB architecture like UCD, anything over 400kHz doesn't offer any advantages and has the disadvantage in that the quiescent current starts increasing.

Is Mr. Bruno Putzey the "Nelson Pass" of Class D concepts?

"universal Class-D" was a good advice - I will check Mr. Bruno Putzeys papers and UcD as keyword in the next time
some examples here:

How many other such principles are there for discrete Class D concepts (I am complete new in Class D and don't know all the colloquial terms for the good known various class D topologies - sorry).

[Ouroboros]

People had been looking at ways to provide a stable post-filter feedback class-d amplifier for some time. When Bruno's paper appeared a few years ago, many people (including me) thought: "Oh yes, that's the way to do it, why on earth didn't I think of that".
Like so many good ideas, the solution was very simple, and very elegant in engineering terms. It just hadn't been obvious before Bruno thought of it.

Simple class-D amps split between open-loop designs and closed loop designs.
The closed-loop designs split between pre-filter NFB and post-filter NFB and most are self-oscillating. (This is for DIY designs. Many commercial IC designs use pre-filter NFB with a clocked architecture).
UCD-style designs dominate the post-filter types, but there are a number of pre-filter self-oscillating NFB topologies. Have a look at the IRAUDAMP designs from International Rectifier to see one way of doing this, but there are both hysteresis and phase shift oscillator techniques in use.
It's a fascinating subject! I suggest you get a SPICE package and learn how to use it if you really want to start investigating it in detail.

I have also been searching for a LOONNNG time for a discrete class-D amplifier that can use standard through-hole components and at least "mid-fi". Apparently nobody in this forum wants to share a complete design, just droppings ...

Regarded discrete designs this basic articles are of interest:

IRF's discrete Solutions with Demo Board:
http://www.irf.com/product-info/audi...sdtutorial.pdf

The problem with this forum is the inaccurate choice of the headline in any cases. e. g.
Success with class-d?
the actually headline must be follow: "discrete self oscillating designs vs. other" instead "Success with Class D? "

So one must check most of all subjects by the file "Class D" (more than 3500 in the meantime). Perhaps one of the member can do this complete. I am shure, that there is much more to find concerning discrete class d design's.

I have found follow threads in this case:

Thank you, I am familiar with those designs - the NXP design would be my firts-choice, but I was told that the schematic has errors; the IRF still requires you to use a dedicated controller chip.

[marce]

Can I ask why a discrete version would be better! It goes against a lot of design technigues required for Class d amps (effectively a modulated SMPS). A discrete design would be more spread out introducing parasitic inductances amongs other gremlins IMO.
