5.4 Gain and Phase Response

The APA100 is a closed−loop, class-D audio power amplifier with an LC output filter. The output filter and the 39-kHz loop bandwidth limit the bandwidth of the APA100 reference design. The gain versus frequency curve is shown in Figure 5−8. The 4- curve rolls off sooner than the 8-curve.

5.5 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

The APA100 has low noise and a wide output swing. The noise does not increase with output power making the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) just before clipping good for this type of amplifier. The noise was measured with an A-weighted filter to be 350 V rms. The amplifier can output 19 Vrms. This makes the SNR 95 dB at 19-Vrms output.
