Nyt MERUS Klasse-D audioforstærker-modul med unikke egenskaber
Infineon lancerer nyt klasse D forstærkermodul i den såkaldte MERUS-serie, der er baseret på grundteknologi udviklet i Danmark. Modulet kan levere 2x100W i 4ohm uden køleplade og det dobbelte med en mindre køleplade (in english).
Class D audio power amplifiers offer a combination of small size, low heat dissipation, high integration, and excellent sound quality. Unlocking the potential of its best-in-class power MOSFET technology, Infineon Technologies AG introduces the MERUS 2-channel, analog input, class D audio amplifier multichip module (MCM) MA5332MS.It is a powerful upgrade to its predecessor, offering the same or even higher output power than monolithic alternatives, without a heatsink and 50 percent less footprint. In the 100 - 400 W/channel range, MA5332MS is ideal for consumer products including home theaters in a box, soundbars, subwoofers, and mini-component systems. It is also well suited for professional applications like active speakers, active studio monitors, guitar amplifiers, aftermarket car, and marine audio amplifiers.
MA5332MS integrates a dual-channel PWM controller, a high-voltage gate driver, and four low RDSon MOSFETs. It can deliver 2 x 100 W at 4 ohm operating absolutely heatsink-free or 2 x 200 W at 4 ohm with a small 8°C/W heatsink.
Compared to other single-chip solutions this is a considerably reduced size. MA5332MS offers differential or single-ended input and multiple output configuration options, single-ended (2x SE), bridge-tied load (BTL), and parallel single-ended (PSE), using a single or split power supply. Enabling an SE topology as an alternative to BTL allows for reduced bus capacitors and output low-pass filters.
As a highly-integrated MCM, MA5332MS also integrates protection circuitry for functions such as over-current, over-temperature, and under-voltage protection with self-reset capability. This on-chip protection circuitry saves the time to design protection using external protection components. Additionally, a new internal logic scheme to control soft-start operation delivers a further reduction of click and pop noise. Based on its improved features, MA5332MS reduces BOM cost and thermal management concerns, providing more space for the industrial design and delivering superior efficiency and low output distortion.
MERUS class D audio amplifier multichip module MA5332MS can be ordered now in a PG-IQFN-42 package.
