Hypex Electronics

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Hypex Electronics is a Dutch electronics company, known for its Class D audio amplifier modules. These employ a control method called UcD, invented by Bruno Putzeys and patented by Philips.[1]

Hypex began producing the UcD in the early 2000s, after Phillips declined to use Putzeys' technology in its own product range. By 2004, the company had produced a 180-watt Class-D amplifier on a 40-square-centimetre (6.2 sq in) board with around 0.02% total harmonic distortion. Putzeys joined Hyped full-time in 2005, and began working on UcD's follow-up, named the NCore, with an improved reduction in distortion with 92% efficiency.[1]

Hypex modules can be found in some high-end audio products,[2][3] including NAD Electronics (who produce customised versions of the original Hypex UcD)[4][5] or in musical instrument amplifiers.[6]

The company has its own production facility based in Malaysia.[7]
