Class D amplifier for 12V and 24V audio rails
The Maxim Integrated MAX9714ETJ is a 2-channel (stereo) Class D audio amplifier delivering 8W per channel into a 16Ω load.
Supply voltage and output power — sizing the rail
The 8W per channel into 16Ω is a continuous rating; for lower-impedance loads the output power will scale with the supply headroom and thermal limits of the package.
