117dB audio amplifier uses Class-G output stage

STMicroelectronics is using Class-G analogue audio technology to create 117dB S/N ratio, >117dB dynamic range (A-weighted), automotive amplifier. Class-G amplifiers are similar to traditional Class-AB amplifiers except that, to increase electrical efficiency, the output devices are supplied from a low voltage rail when output signals are small, and a higher voltage rail during loud passages. In ...
