Abstract

A switching amplifier includes a power stage, a low pass filter, a combining circuit, and a feedback correction circuit. The power stage has an input terminal and an output terminal. The low pass filter has an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the power stage, and an output terminal for providing a filtered pulse width modulated signal. The combining circuit has a first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the power stage, a second input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the low pass filter, and an output terminal. The feedback correction circuit has a first input terminal for receiving a reference pulse width modulated signal, a second input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the combining circuit, and an output terminal coupled to the input terminal of the power stage.
