ABSTRACT:
A polyphase PDM amplifier is disclosed including plural parallel PDM amplifier stages (10, 12, 14, 16), all amplifying the same input signal. The PDM amplifier outputs are combined to produce a combined amplifier output. The various PDM amplifier stages modulate PDM carrier signals of like frequencies but differing phases. Capacitors (40, 42, 44, 46) are connected from each amplifier output to a common circuit node (48). These capacitors reduce the amplitudes of the spurious, out-of-phase components in the amplifier outputs which are introduced by the PDM modulation-demodulation process.
