Abstract

To provide a new switching amplifier in which power supply switching noise is reduced to improve the quality. The switching amplifier is provided with a power amplifier (1) that has a modulator which modulates an analog signal or a multi bit digital signal into a two-level signal, and supplies an output pulse signal from this modulator to a power switching element (3); and a &Dgr;&Sgr; power supply (5) which is provided with a &Dgr;&Sgr; modulating device, and the construction is such that the output pulse signal from the modulator of the power amplifier (1) is supplied to the &Dgr;&Sgr; power supply (5), and also the construction is such that the &Dgr;&Sgr; power supply (5) receives the pulse signal as an operating clock, &Dgr;&Sgr; modulates the received pulse signal, and supplies the &Dgr;&Sgr; modulated pulse signal to the power switching element (3).
