Abstract
An electronic amplifier includes a configurable integrated circuit device structured to synthesize at least a first signal and a second signal, scale the first signal to create a scaled first signal and scale the second signal to create a scaled second signal, create a discrete time composite signal which comprises a summation of at least the scaled first signal and the scaled second signal, create a discrete time pulse width modulated signal based on the discrete time composite signal, and generate a number of control signals based on the discrete time pulse width modulated signal. The electronic amplifier also includes a power switching stage receiving the number of control signals from the configurable integrated circuit device, wherein the number of control signals are configured to control the power switching stage, and a low pass filter coupled to an output of the power switching stage.
