Audio Output Middleware CRI D-Amp Driver

Product Catalog

A software-defined full-digital amplifier enabling simple system architecture with high sound pressure, low power consumption, and reduced heat

CRI D-Amp Driver is an audio output middleware that enables sound output using only a general-purpose embedded MCU and an H-bridge circuit.
As a software-defined full-digital amplifier that controls audio processing and output entirely by software, it eliminates the need for audio ICs and analog circuits, enabling a simple system architecture.

High Sound Quality and Low Noise
The fully digital design combined with differential drive achieves low-noise, faithful sound reproduction true to the original audio.

Low Power Consumption and Reduced Heat
Compared with conventional Class-D amplifiers, the same sound pressure level can be achieved with lower power consumption.

Reduced Implementation Cost and Risk
By reducing the number of external components and using only standard parts, procurement and inventory risks can be minimized.

Lightweight Design for Easy Integration
The software is implemented as a compact module with minimal processing load, making it easy to integrate even in resource-constrained environments.

CRI D-Amp Driver is suitable for a wide range of embedded applications that require both high sound quality and power efficiency, including automotive equipment, AV products, consumer electronics, FA and industrial equipment, and healthcare devices.
