    4-Ω loads at less than 0.5% THD+N over a 20-Hz to 20-kHz frequency range from a 12-V supply. The TPA032D02 amplifier IC operates in the bridge-tied load (BTL) mode for maximum efficiency during class-D operation. The high IC switching frequency reduces the size of the output filter to three small capacitors and two small inductors per class-D channel.
