Abstract
A sigma delta class D device that uses a low pass filter to smooth the output waveform and eliminate high frequency switching noise from the feedback value includes: a first summing node having a positive input coupled to a signal input node; a second summing node having a first positive input coupled to an output of the first summing node and having an output coupled to a signal output node; a low pass filter having an input coupled to the output of the second summing node; an analog to digital converter having an input coupled to an output of the low pass filter; a third summing node having a positive input node coupled to an output of the analog to digital converter and a negative input node coupled to the output of the first summing node; and a feedback device coupled between an output of the third summing node and a negative input of the first summing node.
