Abstract
Class D audio amplifiers have gained significant influence in sound reproduction due to their high efficiency. One of the most commonly used control methods in class D amplifiers is known as self-oscillation. An parameter of key interest in self-oscillating class D amplifiers is the switching frequency, which can be directly related to the performance of the amplifier. This paper will clearify the myth of the switching frequency through investigation of its dependency on modulation index and reference frequency. Validation is done using simulations and an 50 W amplifier providing 0.2 % of distortion. The switching frequency is tracked through accurate spectrum measurements, and very good compliance with simulation results are observed.
