3v class d amplifier

Dear Sir:

Trying to build a class D audio amplifier. Target specs are:
(1) 3V power supply,
(2) 20KHz signal bandwidth,
(3) 16Ohm AC load,
(4) Peak swing 2Vpp,
(5)<1% THD,
(6) Dynamic range > 80dB

Need some design advice or references.
(lease skip applicaion-notes web-sites like TI or ADI...)

Or please give me link in case this has been covered bofore on this board,
Thanks in advance,
 

50Khz is much higher than you need for audio. 20KHz is enough. Most people can't hear above 16KHz.

2Vpp= 0.707Vrms, with a 16ohm load thats only 30milliwatts. It's barely worth the hassle of using a class D amp.

The Texas instruments tpa2005d1 might be suitable.

Thanks throwaway18.

Checked with system guy, and
I have corrected the output bandwidth to 20KHz.

Considering implementing such audio output device onto our chip,
where left half circuits looks like familiar DC/DC circuit blocks (?),
But what is the art of right half circuits (namely, de-glitch, gate-drive, power N/PMOS)
... they just appear to be too simple??? Coud we implement this half
by standard CMOS logic cell library provided sufficient power handling capability???
