Abstract
A pulse width modulated signal amplifier includes first and second switching transistors and a diode which are connected in series across a DC power source and in the forward direction with respect to the polarity of the DC power source, the diode being connected between the first and second transistors. The first transistor has its base connected to a corresponding terminal of the DC power source and the second transistor has its base supplied with a pulse width modulated signal to be amplified. A connection point of the first transistor and a diode is connected to a lowpass filter which provides a demodulated audio signal to a load. A coil is connected between the diode and the second transistor and the connection point of the coil and the second transistor is connected to the base of first transistor.
