Audio IC's
ICEedge
Ultimate design freedom
As an ICEpower customer you can design your own solutions based on our Audio IC’s (integrated circuits). To simplify and speed up your design process, we can provide you with reference designs as well as application support by our experienced team of R&D engineers.
ICEpower Audio IC’s are flexible technology platforms for implementing high performance, high power, reliable class D amplifier designs, cost effectively. Our class D Audio IC’s are the cornerstone of our standard amplifier power modules. Therefore, we have extensive and deep application expertise when it comes to designing with our IC’s. In other words, you can say that we take our own medicine.
ICEpower – experts in class D amplifiers
ICEpower has developed more than twenty class D amplifier IC’s for a wide range of applications. This includes mobile phones, automotive, flat panel TV’s, high end hi-fi, and powerful professional audio. Some have been developed on a ”white label” contract basis for large semiconductor companies. Others have been developed under our own name. Through these projects, we have gained considerable experience with class D semiconductor development.
While there are many companies doing class D IC’s, for most of them, it is just a small segment of their business. They do IC’s for everything – washing machines, alarm clocks, calculators etc. Class D amps just happens to be one item in their portfolio. But ICEpower is different. We ONLY do class D amplifiers. Check out our different IC’s below.
