DRV601EVM Performance
Figure 6. THD+N vs Voltage (600
Ω
)
The THD+N from 10m Vrms to approximately 0.5 Vrms is dominated by noise.
Figure 7. THD+N vs Voltage (600
Ω
)
Here the THD+N versus output voltage is shown with linear scale, this makes it easier to see where
clipping occurs. Clipping is often defines as THD+N=1%. For the DRV601 this is 2.25 Vrms with a 3.3-V
supply and 600-
Ω
load.
