DPP® is a revolutionary technology with applications
in a wide range of markets, including audio systems, high-speed
networking and wireless communication.
In the audio arena, DPP® has given rise to a new class of true
digital audio amplifiers, known as Class-T®. Our technology
provides a combination of fidelity, power efficiency and economy
far superior to the Class-A, -AB and -D amplifiers prevalent in
current- generation audio. Tripath provides audio amplifier solutions
to manufacturers of professional, home, car and PC sound systems.
In the area of high-speed networking, Tripath is using our expertise
in power amplification to develop integrated silicon solutions for
the DSL market. Our product features will enable DSL providers to
increase port density and reduce energy costs. Within the wireless
market, we are developing RF power amplifier solutions for cellular
phones.
With our Digital Power Processing technology, Tripath is uniquely
positioned to change the way power is processed.
In Audio, Tripath is enabling personal computers to have home theater
quality sound systems. In home and car sound systems, Tripath technology
is enabling systems with more power in smaller, lighter configurations.
Tripath has used its Digital Power Processing technology to create
a new breed of digital audio amplifiers referred to as Class-T®
amplifiers.
Class-T® digital amplifiers provide the audio fidelity of traditional
linear (Class-A/B) amplifiers with more than twice the power efficiency
of these devices. This leads to higher levels of integration and
smaller packages at the semiconductor level. At the system level,
these advantages reduce the size of power supplies and heat sinks
and significantly reduce the heat management challenges of today's
dense, complex electronic systems. While pulse width modulated (PWM)
switching amplifiers (Class-D) can also achieve similar power advantages,
none have been able to do so without a significant compromise in
audio fidelity. Hence Tripath?s new designation, the Class-T®
digital amplifier the new standard in audio performance and power
efficiency. For more details on Tripath's Class-T® technology
you can download the white paper from our website.
When our customers win, we win. That's why Tripath backs its technology
with world-class engineering support, helping customers bring products
to market as rapidly and successfully as possible. Tripath's technical
support team can help develop system-level designs, provide guidance
on EMI solutions, assist in the design of switching power supplies
and optimize PCB layout for maximum performance and minimum EMI.
Technical support is also available from Tripath distributors and
manufacturers' representatives. In addition, Tripath provides on-line
support in the form of extensive technical documentation and answers
to frequently-asked questions.
Tripath has developed a family of highly efficient, switching power
amplifiers for the audio market. These markets include: Consumer
Audio such as home stereo, home theater, set top box, Web-based
digital audio systems and gaming systems; Computer Audio for external
powered speakers, add-in card for driving passive speakers and mother-board
based solutions to drive passive speakers; Automotive Audio including
after-market trunk full band amplifiers and subwoofers
