It is NOT recommended to drive untuned transducers (active load) with square and pulse waves.
Usable frequency depends on the requirements of rise edge, fall edge and level of the output signal.
Switch mode frequency f ≤ 18*106*PRP*Hz*Vpp/Vopp.
PRP: Percentage of Rise edge (or Fall edge) to Period T of the square wave or pulse wave at amplifier output.
Vopp: Output Voltage Level in Volt peak to peak.
Example 1:
Percentage of Rise edge (or Fall edge) to Period T of the square wave or pulse wave at output PRP = 10% = 0.1.
Switching Frequency:
Output Voltage Vopp = 40 Vpp.
Switch mode frequency f ≤ 18*106*PRP*Hz*Vpp/Vopp = 18*106*0.1*Hz*Vpp/40Vpp = 45 kHz.
Example 2:
Percentage of Rise edge (or Fall edge) to Period T of the square wave or pulse wave at output PRP = 10% = 0.1.
Output Voltage Vopp = 100 Vpp.
Switch mode frequency f ≤ 18*106*PRP*Hz*Vpp/Vopp = 18*106*0.1*Hz*Vpp/100Vpp = 18 kHz.
Supply Voltage Vs: +8 to +58 VDC
