Abstract

A power amplifier has an input terminal supplied with a PCM (pulse code modulated) signal and a plurality of power supplies, each producing a voltage weighted according to the order of bits of the PCM-code. Switching means are controlled by the PCM input signal to connect selective ones of the power supplies in series to a load in response to the PCM signal.
