ABSTRACT:
A switching amplifier drives a load or audio transducer. A digital integral noise shaping circuit converts a digital input such as audio content to an output digital pulse width modulated signal using an integrator. The integrator integrates the digital input, a variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal and an inverse of the output digital pulse width modulated signal. A half bridge amplifier receives the output digital pulse width modulated signal and drives the load or audio transducer. A variable frequency generator generates the variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal with an approximately equal duty ratio or alternatively varies the variable frequency pulse width modulated signal above and below about a fifty percent duty ratio.
