Abstract
A switched mode amplifier system may include a switched mode amplifier having an amplifier input coupled to an output of an analog integrator and an amplifier output, include a feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and an input of the analog integrator, include a loop filter configured to generate a digital loop filter output, include a quantizer configured to generate a pulse-width modulated representation of the digital loop filter output; and include a calibration system. The calibration system may be configured to force the input of the analog integrator to a fixed known input value, low-pass filter the pulse-width modulated representation of the digital loop filter output generated by the quantizer to generate a filtered quantizer output signal, determine an offset of the switched mode amplifier system based on the filtered quantizer output signal, and correct for the offset.
