Overview

The IRAUDAMP21 is a reference design for a two-channel, half-bridge Class D audio power amplifier based on the IR4321 PowIRaudio integrated IC. It delivers 90W per channel into 2Ω loads using a ±18V supply without a heatsink, and up to 135W per channel with a heatsink and ±22V supply. The design utilizes a self-oscillating PWM modulator topology with optional clock synchronization and provides a fixed gain of 26dB. Integrated protection features include over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), DC protection (DCP), and over-temperature (OTP). The document provides complete circuit specifications, performance characterization graphs, schematics, and a bill of materials.

Use Cases

  • AV receivers
  • Home theater systems
