From the project
Power Class-D amplifier
In this project has been designed, simulated and built an analog class-D power stage. For the design, a triangular signal generator based on a TLC555 and current sources using BJT transistors has been used. The signal is then adapted with some operational amplifiers and logic gates. Drivers of the ir2010 family have been used to control the power MOSFETs. Finally, the signal is integrated through a passive filter formed by 2 toroidal coils and some capacitors.
