4-Channel power amplifier ICs

Concept

We are committed to zero defects when it comes to our 4-channel power amplifier ICs. Toshiba exerts its unique high-reliability and high-voltage design technology to implement strict production control. Additionally, Toshiba has continually improved its 4-channel power amplifier ICs to reduce noise and tune high-frequency performance to enhance sound quality.The latest addition to our product portfolio is an eco-friendly class-KB amp with self-diagnostic capabilities. Toshiba also offers one-of-a-kind products featuring low ON-resistance made with a new BiCD process, new packages and etc.

This figure shows the concept of the 4-channel power ICs.

Roadmap

Toshiba is expanding its portfolio of 4-channel power amplifier ICs that combine a set of its state-of-the-art proprietary core technologies.

This figure shows the roadmap of 4-channel power ICs.

Power Dissipation Comparisons Between Class-AB and Class-KB Amps

Toshiba's proprietary high-efficiency class-KB amp helps reduce heat dissipation, compared to general class-AB amps. The class-KB amp also helps reduce power loss even in large-amplitude mode.

This figure lists Power Dissipation Comparisons Between Class-AB and Class-KB Amps.

Calculation conditions

Amp use: 4 hours per day; 365 days per year
Amp's audio output power: 2 W

Life cycle assessment (LCA) calculation conditions

Overall gasoline-to-amp energy conversion efficiency: 18.9%
Gasoline-to-power conversion factor: 0.104 L/kWh
