ABSTRACT:
A Class D amplifier comprises a ramp generator that generates a first reference signal and a second reference signal. A signal generator generates a first signal as the first reference signal exceeds an input signal to the Class D amplifier and generates the first signal as the second reference signal exceeds the input signal. The signal generator generates a second signal as the first reference signal falls below the input signal and generates the second signal as the second reference signal falls below the input signal.
