A class-D amplifier configured to adjust at least one input signal to at least one output signal. The class-D amplifier comprises: a loop filter, configured to receive the input signal; a PWM circuit, configured to generate at least one PWM signal; a summing circuit, coupled between an output of the loop filter and an input of the PWM circuit; an output circuit operating at a supply voltage, configured to generate the output signal responding to the PWM signal; and a supply voltage filter, configured to monitor the supply voltage to generate a filtered signal to the summing circuit. The summing circuit is configured to sum the output of the loop filter and the filtered signal to adjust a common-mode level of the input of the PWM circuit.

Class-D amplifier which can suppress differential mode power noise

A class D power amplifier with novel design is provided. The amplifier includes an input stage, a periodic signal generator, a comparator, a power output stage, and a boost circuit. The input stage is coupled to a first supply voltage. The periodic signal generator generates a periodic signal and a reference signal. The power output stage is coupled to a second supply voltage. The boost circuit compares an output of the input stage with the reference signal, and thereby adjusts a value of the second supply voltage. The value of the second supply voltage is larger than a value of the first supply voltage. The reference signal is proportional to an amplitude of the periodic signal, and the amplitude of the periodic signal is determined by the value of the second supply voltage.
