Conclusion

In conclusion, this project schedule is quite compacted, i.e. from concept to fabrication in 3 months. It involved practice of many skills, including circuit analysis, practical and robust design, custom IC layout and extraction, working with various constraints, PCB design and construction, choosing components and designing for test. Overall, the CU6350 performance is well predicted by design and simulation, and meets all specifications made at the conceptual phase of the project. As demonstrated in the video, the sound from the speaker is quite loud even with under 100mW of output power. Regardless of the THD figures, the sound is sweet and wonderful to the ears of the designer. The final specification of the CU6350 can be found below.
