Alright, I've been simulating with LTspice again this afternoon and I thought why not take the concept of my full-bridge UcD TDA8939 design and apply that to my half-bridge UcD that uses the IR2011 MOSFET driver and see how far I can push it?
Below you see the result of a few hours of work with LTspice: over 1KW of output at 4-ohm with just 0.5% THD, not bad at all if I may say so myself. I think I'm the first to show working simulation data of a 1KW amplifier on our forum, so I'm expecting a pad on the back from Rummy and a promotion from Beobachter to 'D-AMP HiFi forum's best class-D designer' or something.
As always, feel free to shoot holes into the design, if you can, but I think all that it needs is building to verify that it actually works. Obviously more output is possible by raising the voltage and chosing different MOSFETS (>200V >23A).
