A pulse-width modulating amplifier circuit includes two bootstrap circuits for increasing the power voltage to drive circuits to prevent a drive voltage shortage. One bootstrap circuit is connected from the output of the a power amplifier to a drive circuit. The other bootstrap circuit is connected from the output of a filter demodulator to a drive circuit.

Pulse-width modulating amplifier circuit

A balanced transformer-less pulse width modulation amplifier circuit has two filter coils wound on the same core with the same polarity relative to the output. The arrangement reduces the possibility of magnetic saturation of the core and permits the cutoff frequency to be within the audio range.

Pulse width modulation amplifier circuit

A pulse width modulation amplifier circuit pulse modulates a triangular carrier wave with an analog input, and the pulse width modulated signal is amplified and demodulated. To reduce radiated interference, the carrier is first frequency modulated by a random signal.

A pulse width modulation amplifier circuit includes a comparator which receives an analog signal and generates first and second analog signals having a phase difference of 180 degrees. A phase shifting circuit produces first and second triangular wave carrier signals so as to establish therebetween a phase difference of approximately 90 degrees. First and second pulse width modulation amplifiers, having output terminals connected to a load, pulse width modulate the first and second triangular wave carrier signals with said first and second analog signals, respectively, and amplify resultant pulse width signals.
