Comparison Table: Class AB vs. Class D
| Criteria | Class AB | Class D |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Principle | Operates on both transistors (NPN and PNP) in active regions. | Uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to convert analog signals into digital signals. |
| Energy Efficiency | Around 50-70%. A significant portion of energy is lost as heat. | Very high efficiency, up to 90-95%, as transistors operate as switches. |
| Sound Quality | Warm, full sound, less distortion, particularly suited for music and vocals. | Slightly inferior to Class AB at high frequencies, but has improved significantly. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) | Low distortion at medium power, but may increase at high power levels. | Higher distortion at medium and high frequencies if not optimized. |
| Heat Dissipation | Generates more heat, requiring large heat sinks. | Minimal heat generation, no need for large heat sinks. |
| Size and Weight | Larger in size and requires a heat dissipation system. | Compact and lightweight, ideal for portable designs. |
| Main Applications | Used in high-end devices like hi-fi amplifiers or premium karaoke systems. | Common in portable speakers, subwoofers, and devices requiring high efficiency. |
| Cost | Typically higher due to more complex circuitry. | Lower due to simpler and more compact design. |
| Noise Level | Low noise, suitable for accurate sound reproduction. | Potential noise due to switching, but mitigated through filtering. |
| Durability | Relatively durable, but heat dissipation may affect lifespan. | High durability with stable operation in different conditions. |
