This reference design demonstrates a 450-W, 2-phase interleaved boost converter reference design for the Class-H audio amplifier application. To provide supply to the external audio amplifier, the controller is able to follow the Class-H control signal from the amplifier and generate an output voltage which tracks the speaker amplitude. Therefore, minimized overall power consumption and losses can be achieved.
Features
- Well-balanced internal current sharing between the two phase of the boost converter; power as well as thermal stress can be shared evenly with small board size
- 450-W converter 12-cm x 6.5-cm in size; high power and high power-density design
- Class-H control capable; boost output voltage is able to follow the speaker output amplitude to minimize power consumption as well as losses
