Abstract

A high Q low pass filter removes the carrier from a Class D amplifier. Speaker impedance varies with frequency, and it is desirable for to drive 2, 4 and 8 ohm speakers. The bandwidth feedback compensation network 800 adds a pole-zero combination to the feedback loop to reduce the Q of the low pass filter and to maintain the bandwidth of the amplifier.
