11. CS-EE 480 Spring 2006 Sublimity Audio 11 September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering Concerns/Issues Achieving DSP frequency > 300kHz –Use TCA2002 DSP for right/left channel Creating actual component SPICE models –Use alternate component netlist with similar specs Switching Noise –Design better filter Putting 10+ amps through proto-board Feedback loop –Use Full Bridge

12. CS-EE 480 Spring 2006 Sublimity Audio 12 September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering Conclusions Currently on schedule We are making contacts in the industry for life after UP We are excited to build an amp so we can have our party in the spring. Does anyone have a question?
