Abstract

A class-D amplifier includes an output driver stage and a current sensing circuit connected. The current sensing circuit includes: an operational amplifier having a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal; a positive input replica transistor, where a source of the positive input replica transistor is connected to the positive input terminal, a drain and a gate of the positive input replica transistor is connected to the drain and the gate of a first n-type output transistor, respectively; and a negative input replica transistor, where a source of the negative input replica transistor is connected to the negative input terminal, a drain and a gate of the negative input replica transistor is connected to the drain and the gate of the second n-type output transistor, respectively.
