Characterization of Class D VPS Proteins
… genetics of this system have revealed several classes of mutants, each defective in one transport step in the VPS pathway. The Class D VPS proteins are thought to control anterograde traffic between the late Golgi and late endosome. Although most of these proteins have homologues of known …

A new mode of Class D amplification
… a more efficient method of power amplification. Class D operation, in which the output transistors are either cut off or saturated and, hence, dissipate very little power, is one method of satisfying this need. This paper presents a study of a new mode of Class D amplification. In a conventional …

Structure and activation of the class D GPCR dimer Ste2
… GPCRs are divided phylogenetically into six classes, A-F. Over 700 structures of mammalian GPCRs (classes A, B, C and F) have been determined thus far, which greatly illuminate the structural mechanisms of GPCR-mediated signalling. However, structures were lacking for class D GPCRs, which are …

A class-D-tracking-rail class-A audio power amplifier
… and high power efficiency. The design uses a class-A amplifier, known for its low signal distortion but low power efficiency (less than 50%), to amplify the audio signal. Class-D amplifiers, known for their high power efficiency (greater than 85%) but high signal distortion, provide a signal …

A Distortion Suppression Technique for a Digital Class D Audio Power Amplifier with Pulse Density Modulation
… Interference (EMI) generated. Switching audio Class D amplifiers can provide much better power efficiency than linear Class AB amplifiers due to a low voltage difference between the switching output node and the power supplies. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) can provide over 100 dB THD at a …

Designing an Efficient Power/Control System for a Network of Piezoelectric Speakers
… explored here: a common-emitter paired with a class AB amplifier, and a class D amplifier. Although testing was limited due to an unsuccessful 200V power supply design, the class D amplifier was found to be the more efficient solution with a wider voltage range. However, the class AB amplifier …

Acoustic and non-acoustic performance of coal bottom ash as sound absorptive material for reducing railway noise level
… 1997, it was found that CBA concrete can be classified as Class D (absorption). Class D materials are able to absorb more than 30% of sound by conducting impedance tube and reverberation time. In addition, the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) performance for CBA concrete addresses more than …

Efficiency improvement in nanometre CMOS outphasing power amplifiers
… voltage-source CMOS PA, the complementary Class-D, suffers from shoot-through current losses where the supply voltage is shorted to ground during switching. The short-circuit can be prevented by driving the two transistors with dead-time-separated voltages to stop them from switching …
