12. CS-EE 481 Spring 2007 Sublimity Audio 12 February, 2007 University of Portland School of Engineering Concerns/Issues Building high power circuits (soldering) 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

13. CS-EE 481 Spring 2007 Sublimity Audio 13 February, 2007 University of Portland School of Engineering Conclusions Getting ready to kick it into high gear Currently on schedule We are excited to build an amp so we can have our party in the spring. Does anyone have a question?
