ABSTRACT:
A fully differential class D amplifier includes a pulse width modulator and a power stage. The pulse width modulator is arranged to employ a differential output signal provided from the power stage as a feedback signal. The pulse width modulator includes a transimpedance amplifier that is arranged to generate a triangle wave from the input signal and the feedback signal. The transimpedance amplifier is arranged to generate the triangle wave such that the triangle wave that has approximately a 50% duty cycle when no input signal is applied. Additionally, the input signal adjusts the frequency of the triangle wave such that the triangle wave is a spread spectrum signal. The triangle wave is compared to a threshold signal to provide a pulse width modulated signal.
