Abstract
In a power supply circuit which uses a switching amplifier in combination with a linear amplifier, in order to be capable of correcting errors of operation of the switching amplifier and the linear amplifier, that is to say, in order to cause the switching amplifier and the linear amplifier to operate in coordination in a near-ideal state, the power supply circuit is provided with first amplification unit for delaying an input signal by a predetermined set time and amplifying the input signal, current detection unit for detecting a current value of an output signal of the first amplification unit, predicted signal generation unit for generating a pulse signal on a basis of an output signal of the current detection unit and the input signal, second amplification unit for amplifying the pulse signal and signal output unit for combining current of the output signal of the first amplification unit and current of the output signal of the second amplification unit to output the combined current, wherein the set time is time for reducing an effect of delay times generated at the current detection unit, the predicted signal generation unit and the second amplification unit.
