Diodes Introduces High-Efficiency Class-D Stereo Audio Amplifier Device

Diodes Incorporated introduced the PAM8965 Class-D stereo audio power amplifier with an integrated synchronous boost converter, and external audio feedback pins, which allow for customization of sound. This high-efficiency device is targeted for use in AI-enabled, portable, wireless speaker systems, and portable musical instruments - where elevated output power, extended battery life, and compact construction are all key requirements.

SoundChip introduced Soundstation Array, a spatially-limited diffuse sound field measurement platform designed to help brands characterize and tune hybrid noise cancelling headphones. Soundstation Array leverages SoundChip-sponsored post-graduate research into the minimum requirements for generating a sound field that is sufficiently diffuse for ensuring repeatable and reproducible measurements of noise cancelling headphones, without the need for an anechoic or reverberation chamber.
