Abstract:
An all-digital class-D audio amplifier and method of digitizing an analog signal comprises a pulse-width modulation (PWM) wave generator for generating a PWM wave; an interpolator for receiving an input audio signal, up-sample the input audio signal; and down-sample the input audio signal to a PWM wave switching frequency; an audio speaker for broadcasting an amplified version of the input audio signal; a pair of MOSFETs driven by the PWM wave and the input supply voltage, wherein the pair of MOSFETs transmit the amplified version of the input audio signal to the audio speaker; a natural-sampling and pre-distortion circuit adapted to (i) generate a pre-distorted natural-sampling frequency point for the PWM wave switching frequency, and (ii) account for digitized power supply ripples for an input supply voltage used to drive the audio speaker; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) adapted to digitize the power supply ripples or distortion.
