Abstract
Provided is a liquid discharging apparatus which includes a modulation circuit which generates a modulation signal which is obtained by pulse-modulating a source signal, a transistor which generates an amplified modulation signal by amplifying the modulation signal, a low pass filter which includes an inductor and a capacitor and generates a drive signal by smoothening the amplified modulation signal, a piezoelectric element which is displaced by receiving the drive signal, a cavity of which the internal volume changes in accordance with the displacement of the piezoelectric element, a nozzle through which liquid in the cavity is discharged in accordance with change in the internal volume of the cavity, and a circuit substrate on which the modulation circuit, the transistor, and the low pass filter are mounted, in which the capacitor is a leadless type capacitor.
