NC500 Evaluation board

The NC5OO OEM, an NCORE® amplifier module, the supreme successor to our UcD™ Family modules, delivers unparalleled performance in a Class-D design. As we navigate a world increasingly conscious of energy consumption, the NC500 OEM not only supports audiophile music reproduction but sets a new standard for excellence in audio amplification after many years. At the heart of its operation is a non-hysteresis 5th order self-oscillating control loop, uniquely taking feedback solely at the speaker output. This innovative approach contributes to both measured and sonic performance, elevating the NC500 OEM above traditional audio amplifiers. Notably, the NC500 OEM is designed as an unbuffered amplifier, providing manufacturers the flexibility to implement their preferred input buffer. This feature, combined with the amplifier's minimal sonic signature, allows for a tailored tuning of a distinct “house sound.” Applications of the NC500 OEM span a wide range, from high-end stereo and multichannel amplifiers to the creation of high-fidelity active loudspeakers for recording and mastering studios, as well as the heart of premium home theatre systems. Deep within the amplifier's architecture lies a commitment to endurance. Meticulously crafted with a conservative rating, the NC500 OEM is a testament to reliability. Each component is a thread in the fabric of longevity, ensuring years of unwavering performance. As the story unfolds, the NC500 OEM introduces a unique chapter dedicated to signal integrity. A differential audio input, like a skilled narrator, enhances the clarity of the audio tale. It meticulously preserves the nuances of every note, presenting an unblemished narrative from input to output.
