MOSFETs Under Evaluation
The following MOSFETs appear to be suitable for use with the TK2150, and we are waiting for
samples to evaluate. Most of these devices come from the same “family” or generation, as other
recommended MOSFETs. However, experience tells us that we cannot recommend any devices
until we have received samples and fully tested them.

Output Filter Design
One advantage of Tripath amplifiers over PWM solutions is the ability to use higher-cutoff-
frequency filters. This means load-dependent peaking/droop in the 20kHz audio band potentially
caused by the filter can be made negligible. This is especially important for applications where
the user may select a 6-Ohm or 8-Ohm speaker. Furthermore, speakers are not purely resistive
