PRODUCTION DATA
The 1SPW mode alters the typical modulation scheme to achieve higher efficiency with a slight penalty in THD degradation and more attention required in the output filter selection. In Low Idle Current mode, the outputs operate at ~17% modulation during idle conditions. When an audio signal is applied, one output decreases, and one increases. The decreasing output signal rails to GND. At this point, all the audio modulation takes place through the rising output. The result is that only one output is switching during the bulk of the audio cycle. Efficiency is improved in this mode due to the reduction of switching losses.
