New Fractal Class-D Audio Amplifier Technology Maximizes Battery Life in TWS Earbuds

Typical Class-D amplifiers are generally tuned to give the highest efficiency when outputting large power levels but have a rather low efficiency at lower power levels. Using a new type of bridge configuration, the patented Fractal Class-D audio amplifier improves the efficiency at lower power levels while maximizing efficiency over a wide range of power levels. Available from SiliconIntervention, this technology was developed by Martin Mallinson, the company's founder and chief scientific officer.

Analog Devices Now Sampling New ADXL380 and ADXL382 Triaxial MEMS Accelerometers

It was a big product announcement from Analog Devices at Sensors Converge 2024, but aside for what was revealed to those attending the event, there has yet to be a formal announcement. The ADXL380 and ADXL382 are low noise, low power, wide bandwidth, 16-bit sensors that cover a dynamic range of 85dB, making them good options for precision applications with minimal calibration, with the ADXL380 being ideal for new true wireless ANC earbuds. audioXpress explores here all the important details about these two new 3-axis MEMS accelerometers.
