About 1-bit Digital Audio Amplifier Tripath's 1-bit digital audio amplifiers rely on a fundamentally new approach to amplifier design that uses 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. , employs multiple signal processing techniques, including adaptive/predicative processing, noise shaping, pre-distortion and delta-sigma modulation. About Tripath Technology Based in San Jose, Calif., Tripath Technology is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that focuses on providing highly efficient power amplification to the digital media and electronics markets, 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 markets and RF markets. Tripath has created a patented technology called Digital Power Processing(TM) (DPP) 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 customers include consumer electronic and computer companies, such as Sony, Aiwa, Panasonic, Denon, Hitachi, Blaupunkt and Apple Computer; as well as DSL communications equipment providers, such as Alcatel, who use Tripath's power efficient line drivers for central office applications.
