Abstract

A fully differential class-D amplifier having a controlled common-mode output voltage is disclosed. The differential class-D amplifier may include a correction circuit to determine the common-mode output voltage associated with differential pulse width modulated output signals and to generate differential correction signals to control the common-mode output voltage. In some exemplary embodiments, the differential class-D amplifier may include a plurality of gain stages to generate the differential PWM output signals. The differential correction signals may be provided to at least one stage of the differential class-D amplifier.
