SSM2315-EVALZ

SSM2315-EVALZ is an evaluation board for SSM2315 filterless Class-D audio amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for mobile phone applications. The application circuit requires a minimum of external components and operates from a single 2.5V to 5.5V supply. It is capable of delivering 3W of continuous output power with less than 1% THD + N driving a 3ohm load from a single 5V supply. The SSM2315 comes with a differential mode input port and a high efficiency, full H-bridge at the output that enables direct coupling of the audio power signal to the loudspeaker. The differential mode input stage allows for cancelling of common mode noise. The part also features a high efficiency, low noise output modulation scheme that requires no external LC output filters when attached to an inductive load. The modulation provides high efficiency even at low output power. Filterless operation also helps to decrease distortion due to the nonlinearities of output LC filters.
