Abstract
An audio signal amplification device of the disclosure includes: a delta-sigma modulation part configured to resample an input digital audio signal with a quantization number smaller than a quantization number of the digital audio signal; a pulse-width modulation part configured to convert an output signal from the delta-sigma modulation part into a pulse-width modulation signal which sets a gradation of the output signal in an amplitude direction at a gradation of a pulse width; a power amplification part configured to perform power amplification on an output signal from the pulse-width modulation part; a low-pass filter configured to diminish a component higher than a predetermined cutoff frequency, in an output signal from the power amplification part, and to output the resultant signal; and a correction processing part configured to generate a correction signal for correcting the digital audio signal. The correction processing part includes a switch configured to control coupling of the correction processing part to the low-pass filter. When the switch is on, the correction processing part couples a loudspeaker to the low-pass filter, and generates the correction signal.
