INTRODUCTION
The
Infinity

275/250
Digital
Power
Amplifier
is
a
breakthrough
innovation
for
the
mobile
audio
after-market.
You
now
own
a
digital
amplifier
that
car
audio
enthusiasts
everywhere
have
only
dreamed
of
—
until
now!
The
DPA
275/250
is
the
next
generation
of
amplification,
and
it
makes
all
other
mobile
amplifier
technologies
obsolete.
The
DPA
275
offers
stereo,
bridged-mono,
or
tri-
mode
operation,
and
delivers
75
watts
(rms)
per
channel
into
a
4-ohm
load.
The
DPA
250
produces
50
watts
(rms)
per
channel
operating
in
stereo.

we
developed
a
unique

circuit
that
has
a
constant
frequency
and
duty

with
a

This
technique
produces
a
power

with
a
high
90

rating,
regardless
of
normal

When
combined
with

an

Efficiencies
are
typically
measured
at
the
amplifier’s
full
power
rating.
However,
a
close
look
at
a
power
output
versus
efficiency
curve
shows
that
efficiency
varies
directly
as
a
function
of
the
power
output
level.
This
is
more
apparent
when
music
is
the
source,
as
opposed
to
a
sine
wave
test.
Figure

(on
the

shows

for
a

and
a
conventional

a

Notice
that
the
DPA
275
operated
at
over
80
percent
efficiency
over
a
range
of
40
to
80
watts,
resulting
in
very
little
wasted
energy.
In
other
words,
for
every
100
watts
of
battery
power
in,
the
DPA
275
delivered
80
watts
of
music
power
to
the
loudspeaker!
Moreover,
when
music
is
the
source,
an
amplifier
will
operate
at
approximately
one-third
of
its
rated
output
(in
this
case
40
to
80
watts).
This
is
exactly
where
the
DPA
275
(or
DPA
250)
is
most
efficient
during
the
most-used
area
of
operation
—
music
reproduction.
In
the
digital
world,
a
clock
is
a
circuit
which
serves
as
a
single
source
of
pulses
for
use
by
other
circuits,
and
clock
rate
is
the
number
of
pulses
that
occur
per
unit
of
time,
measured
in
Hertz.
The
DPA
275/250
power
supply
uses
a
higher
clock
rate
(125
kHz,
versus
30
kHz
in
typical
designs),
which
presents
several
advantages.
First,
the
size
of
components
and
the
accompanying
package
is
smaller.
This
insures
that
generated
RFI
is
not
audible
and
will
not
interfere
with
the
amplifier’s
switching
frequencies.
In
addition,
a
pair
of
asynchronous
clocks,
controlling
the
switching
circuits
of
the
power
amplifiers,
operate
at
different
frequencies
on
the
left
and
right
channels
to
eliminate
the
possibility
of
any
heterodyne
(1.e.,
radio
beat)
effect.
In
addition,
the
pe
board’s
ground
plane
is
coupled
electrostatically
to
the
chassis,
to
control
virtually
all
RFI
generated
by
the
500
kHz
carrier
(see
page
6).
Five
protection
sensors
monitor
over-voltage,
under-
voltage,
over-power
conditions,
over-temperature
limits,
and
over-current
use.
This
unparalleled
protection
scheme
allows
the
DPA
275/250
to
operate
continually
over
a
range
of
battery
voltages
from
10
to
15.5
V
de
at
all
temperature
extremes.

2757750
To
amplify
audio,
we
developed
a
new
technology
called
Differential
Amplification
Output
Switching.
As
shown
in
Figure
1
(on
page
3),
it
consists
of
a
proprietary
500
kHz
pulse-width
modulation
circuit,
to
sample
and
convert
incoming
analog
audio
to
digital
“1-bit”
pulses
(which
is
the
equivalent
of
an
11-times
oversampling
rate
in
digital
audio
terms).
The
high
modulation
frequency
insures
precision
sampling
that
is
free
of
audible
RFI
artifacts,
and
also
allows
us
to
use
passive,
gentle-slope
filtering
—
for
minimum
phase
shift
when
the
analog
waveform
is
reconstructed
at
the
output.
In
essence,
we
have
incorporated
a
High
Power
D-to-A
(HPDA)
converter
within
the
design.
The
digital
pulses
control
a
complementary
pair
of
fast,
high-current
MOSFET
switches
that
create
amplified
70
V
de
pulses
across
the
voltage
rails.
Two-stage
RFI
filtering
removes
the
500
kHz
carrier
frequency,
and
the
result
is
a
pure
amplified
analog
signal
that
is
transparent
and
adds
no
sound
of
its
own!
To
better
understand
how
an
analog
signal
is
extracted
from
a
digital
pulse-width
waveform,
refer

the

It

expressed
as
a
percentage
(e.g.,
a

means
the
signal

response.
When
there
is
no
incoming
audio
signal,
the
modulator
circuit
creates
a
pulse-width
waveform
having
a
50
%
duty
cycle.
This
means
the
waveform
—
spends
half
of
its
time
at
+35
V
de
and
the
other
half
of
its
time
at
-35
V
dc.
When
you
sum
(i.e.,
average)
the
areas
under
each
positive
and
negative
excursion
(in
the
way
our
HPDA
does),
you
get
a
net
result
of
zero
—
or
no
voltage
output.
Let’s
assume
an
instantaneous
positive
voltage
is
now
present
at
the
analog
input,
and
the
modulator
shifts
the
duty
cycle
of
the
pulse-width
waveform,
so
more
time
is
spent
at
+35
V
de
than
at
the
-35
V
dc
rail.
When
these
areas
are
averaged,
a
positive
value
at
the
output
is
the
net
result.
Repeating
this
process
creates
a
continuous
amplified
analog
waveform
from
the
stream
of
500
kHz
samples.
For
optimum
performance,
the
DPA
275/250
should
only
drive
a
4-ohm
load.
As
in
crossover
filter
design,
there
is
a
direct
result
of
having
to
specify
a
load
impedance
in
order
to
build
the
output
filters
used
in
the
HPDA
converter.
We
choose
4
ohms
as
the
best
compromise
between
the
most
common
values
of
8
and
2
ohms. Other
loads
can
be
used,
but
they
will
change
filter
characteristics
and
affect
the
amplifier’s
frequency
response,
as
shown
in
Figure
4.
With
an
8-ohm
load,
the
DPA
275/250
response
rises
in
the
high
frequencies
to
produce
a
brighter
sound.
Conversely,
with
a
2-ohm
load,
the
high
frequency
response
rolls
off
faster
for
a
duller
sound.
In
addition,
protection
circuits
will
activate
sooner
to
safeguard
the
amplifier.

The
DPA
275/250
has
five
levels
of
circuit
protection
that
monitor
and
will
shut
down
the
amplifier

For
best
performance,
make
sure
the
operating
environment
does
not
create
conditions
that
trigger
circuit
protection.
The
DPA
275/250
is
designed
to
operate
into
a
optimum
load
of
4
ohms.

At
the

site,
locate
and
make
a
note
of
all
fuel
lines,
hydraulic
brake
lines,
and
electrical
wiring.
Use
extreme
caution
when
cutting
or

in
and
around
these
areas.
Use
the
enclosed

template
as
a
drilling
guide
to
mark
locations
for
the
mounting
holes.
Check
clearances
on
both
sides
of

before
drilling
any

or
installing
any
screws.
Remember
that
the
enclosed

can
extend
up
to
an

Always
wear
protective

when
using
tools.
When
routing
cables,
keep
input

cables
away
from
power
cables
and
output
speaker
wires,
as
shown
in
Figure
8.
When
making
connections,
make

that
each
connection
is
clean
and
properly
secured.
Observe
the

MOUNTING...
INSTALLATION
The
DPA
275/250
is
easy
to
install.
For
optimum
performance,
we
recommend
using
high-quality
double-shielded
RCA
audio
cables
and
14-gauge
or
larger
speaker
wire.
Also,
you'll
need
a
minimum
of
12-gauge
stranded
copper
wire
(e.g.,
red
and
black
jackets)
for
the
power
connections.
Use
18-gauge
(e.g.,
blue
jacket)
wire
for
remote
turn-on.
Depending
on
your
total
system
plan,
allow
for
adequate
time
and
the
possibility
of
overnight
storage
of
your
vehicle,
since
it
may
take
more
than
one
day
to
complete
an
installation.
Examine
and
verify
that
the

includes
