Generation of voltage reference signals in a hybrid switched mode amplifier
Abstract:
A method may include processing a first signal derived from an input signal with a first path to generate a first path voltage at a first path output, processing a second signal derived from the input signal with a second path to generate a second path voltage at a second path output, the second path comprising a linear amplifier having at least one transistor for driving the second path voltage, generating the first signal and the second signal with a signal splitter, such that the second signal comprises information of the input signal absent from the first signal, and such that the second path voltage is of a sufficient magnitude such that the at least one transistor operates in a saturation region of the at least one transistor throughout a dynamic range of a load voltage equal to the difference of the first path voltage and the second path voltage.
