Sanyo Selects Tripath Technology's Class-T Audio Amplifiers; TA2024 Powers Latest Plasma Display TV.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2002 Tripath Technology Inc. (Nasdaq:TRPH TRPH Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons ), creators of Digital Power Processing (DPP DPP - Dining Philosophers Problem (R)), announced today that its Class-T(TM) advanced 1-bit digital audio amplifiers have been chosen by Sanyo for their latest plasma display TV series, Vizon. Tripath's Class-T TA2024 digital audio amplifiers will power Sanyo's latest 32-inch (PDP-32-V1) and 42-inch (PDP-42-V1) flat panel TVs. Tripath's TK2050 will also be featured in Sanyo's optional KA-TD-H20S super-woofer. Sanyo chose Tripath's TA1101B last year for their first generation plasma TVs and have now adopted Tripath's TA2024 for their second generation plasma TVs. Tripath's patented signal processing techniques are combined with a switching mode approach that generates high fidelity sound with significantly lower heat dissipation making it ideal for compact design applications. Tripath's Class-T(TM) 1-bit digital audio amplifiers are also currently integrated in other flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time products such as Aiwa, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Samsung, Sony, Sharp and Toshiba. Through space-saving technology, low heat dissipation, and high-energy efficiency, Tripath is quickly becoming the technology of choice in the rapidly growing LCD and plasma display markets. "We are pleased that Tripath's Class-T(TM) digital amplifier technology was selected by Sanyo for their latest plasma TV line," said Dr. Adya Tripathi, chairman, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

About Advanced Class-T(TM) 1-bit Sigma Delta Digital Audio Amplifiers Tripath's advanced Class-T(TM) 1-bit digital audio amplifiers rely on a fundamentally new approach to amplifier design utilizing semiconductor-based amplifiers that provide significant performance, power efficiency, size, weight and cost advantages over traditional amplifier technology. Instead of conventional pulse width modulation See PWM. , Class-T(TM) employs multiple signal processing techniques, including adaptive/predicative processing, noise shaping, pre-distortion and sigma delta modulation. About Tripath Technology Based in San Jose, Calif., Tripath Technology Inc. owns the proprietary technology called Digital Power Processing (DPP) technology, which combines modern advances in digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). and power processing. Tripath's current products target audio applications with sales to leading consumer electronic and computer companies, such as Sony, Aiwa, Hitachi, Blaupunkt and Apple Computer; as well as DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary communications equipment providers, such as Alcatel, with Tripath's low power line drivers for central office applications.
