GaN is gladly being embraced in audio, enabling companies to launch better sounding, higher-performance, smaller, and more eye-catching audio systems. And GaN Systems is making it easier to reap the benefits of GaN with its GeN2 Amplifier and SMPS Reference Design from Richardson RFPD.

GaN Systems’ GeN2 amplifier and companion power supply reference design is optimized for sound quality, thermal performance, size, and cost. The evaluation kit includes a 2 channel, 200W per channel (8 ohm) Class-D audio amplifier with 96% efficiency and companion 400W continuous, 550W peak power audio-grade SMPS. It enables audio design engineers to create premium audio products more quickly, reducing time to market and at affordable prices.
