7.3.3 Audio Amplifier Power Dissipation and Efficiency

The major benefit of a Class D amplifier is increased efficiency versus a Class AB. The efficiency of the LM48511 is attributed to the region of operation of the transistors in the output stage. The Class D output stage acts as current steering switches, consuming negligible amounts of power compared to their Class AB counterparts. Most of the power loss associated with the output stage is due to the IR loss of the MOSFET ON-resistance, along with switching losses due to gate charge.
