- Ultra-low heat generation — runs cool even at high output
- High energy efficiency — reduced power consumption for battery-sensitive applications
- Simplified circuitry — eliminates external components such as low-pass filters, reducing bill of materials cost
The amplifier targets the automotive market, where software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are creating demand for high-quality in-cabin entertainment. CRI D-Amp Driver × GaN is designed to power everything from music playback to immersive experiences such as movies and karaoke, while minimizing thermal load and energy draw—critical requirements as vehicles add more electronic systems.
CRI D-Amp Driver uses a proprietary method to pulse-drive speakers directly, eliminating the need for external components such as low-pass filters. The underlying technology has been deployed in more than 20 million devices across embedded and mobility applications. By constructing the amplification circuit with GaN semiconductors, CRI has achieved further gains in efficiency and thermal performance.
CRI will also showcase CRI ADX Automotive, software that manages audio both inside and outside the vehicle, including warning tones for pedestrian alert systems.
