Offer Description
AMPLIF-AI aims to develop innovative prototypes of “smart” audio amplifiers for the automotive sector, combining high energy efficiency and Edge AI. The project addresses the evolution toward the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) paradigm, in which peripheral components must act as intelligent actuators with standardized interfaces to the central unit. The core of the innovation is a smart amplifier with an integrated DSP for local audio signal processing, capable of handling speaker protection, linearization, and signature sound without burdening the central unit. The Class D multilevel architecture at 48V guarantees high efficiency even at low power levels, reducing EMI and wiring weight. The planned activity involves the design and characterization of interface circuits for voltage and current sensing at the output of the Class-D amplifier, along with the related A/D converters.
