  • Page 6 LPA400 User Guide Note:The amplifier contains an output rms current protection circuit, and when driving some capacitive loads this circuit may be activated. Due to capacitor construction, at high current the amount of energy transfer distorts the current waveform resulting in excessive peak current (Fig 1 below), whilst the rms value remains within specification.
  • Page 7: Total Harmonic Distortion

    LPA400 User Guide Total Harmonic Distortion: For frequencies up to 50KHz, Total Harmonic Distortion is typically less than 0.5%. Between 50KHz and 1MHz THD is typically less than 5%. This graph demonstrates the effect of Total Harmonic Distortion on the Maximum Output Voltage of the LPA400 amplifier at higher frequency levels up to 1MHz.
