Automotive audio system designers are looking for comprehensive features to meet the requirements of their next-generation audio systems. Automotive-grade Class-D audio amplifiers can be used to provide high system efficiency, scalable input-supply voltages, high output current, load diagnostics, and a complete suite of protection features to help easily meet these requirements.

Design Considerations

  • Supply voltage and output current capabilities to the drive speaker load at the desired output power
  • Number of speakers (channel count) and design scalability using pin-to-pin compatible devices
  • Customer-requested automotive diagnostics and protection features. See the Automotive audio diagnostics and protection video series and the Real-Time Load Diagnostics application brief to learn more.
  • Size constraints including Printed Circuit Board (PCB) area and heat-sink size
