Abstract
Amplifier circuits provide operation with low-distortion zero crossings outside of a unipolar power supply voltage range. The amplifiers include multiple driver circuits and a control circuit. The control circuit selects between actively operating selected ones of the multiple driver circuits or all of the multiple driver circuits, according to an input signal to be reproduced by one or more of the multiple amplifier driver circuits. The control circuit determines a splice point at which the control circuit selects between actively operating selected ones of the multiple driver circuits or all of the multiple driver circuits.
