What is a Class D amplifier?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. An amplifier that uses switching technology to achieve high efficiency
A Class D amplifier uses transistors as fast on/off switches instead of operating them in their linear region. Switching wastes very little power, so efficiency is high.
Tip: Class D = digital-style switching.
