Quote from: http://edtn.bitpipe.com/data/detail?...RES&x=53083535 :"Class-T amplifiers provide the high efficiency of Class-D amplifiers and the high linearity of Class-AB designs, while avoiding many of the problems associated with each of those topologies. Tripath also uses the term "digital amplifier" to describe their implementation of switch-mode amplifiers. The term has been in popular use for some time, particularly since the advent of integrated Class-D control modules. In its current usage, "digital amplifier" refers to the method of using the output devices in switch mode, either completely on (in saturation) or completely off. It is this two-state operation that provides the exceptional efficiency exhibited by the Tripath amplifier. Since the output devices are either in a state where they are either conducting no current (off) or dropping very little voltage (on), they are never dissipating the high power levels common to linear designs."

Google.ca is your friend.
