Abstract

This project combines the advantages of high efficiency of power electronics with the existing high fidelity of audio amplifiers. The result will be functionally equivalent to existing amplifiers but will use considerably less energy. A complete system was designed, simulated, built and tested in a period of three quarters. The end result is an amplifier that functions, but would not be suitable for commercial marketing. Suggestions to improve the performance are provided.
