Abstract
A class D amplifier including a pulse width modulation (PWM) control loop, an H-bridge driver, a PWM controller having a PWM pulse generator to generate PWM pulses supplied to the H-bridge driver in response to an ADC value output by an analog-to-digital converter of the PWM control loop, and a comparator. The comparator is configured to trigger a cutoff of a PWM pulse generated by the PWM pulse generator during a respective loop cycle of the PWM control loop and to trigger generation of at least one counter PWM pulse with an opposite polarity in the respective loop cycle such that a net pulse energy of the cutoff PWM pulse and of the at least one generated counter PWM pulse corresponds to a pulse energy representing the ADC value provided by the analog-to-digital converter of the PWM control loop during the respective loop cycle.
