PRODUCTION DATA
The 1SPW mode alters the normal modulation scheme in order 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 quickly rails to GND at which point all the audio modulation takes place through the rising output. The result is that only one output is switching during a majority of the audio cycle. Efficiency is improved in this mode due to the reduction of switching losses.
