    Abstract: A Class-D amplifier system may include an input stage that includes an Nth order filter, where N>1. The input stage filters an input signal to provide a filtered output signal, an input of the input stage being configured to receive the input signal as a digital pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal. A comparator provides a quantized output signal based on the filtered output signal. An output stage is connected between a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail. The output stage provides a switching output signal at an output that varies between the first voltage rail and the second voltage rail based on the quantized output signal. A feedback path connects the output of the output stage with the input of the input stage, such that the Nth order filter compensates for variations in at least one of the first voltage rail and the second voltage rail.

    Abstract: A closed loop amplifier adapted to be directly connected to a battery having a battery voltage for powering the amplifier. The amplifier includes an amplifier stage having a node for receiving a control voltage for controlling a common mode voltage of the stage, a digital voltage indicator for generating a digital value corresponding to the battery voltage, and a common mode voltage supply providing the control voltage corresponding to the digital value.In a preferred embodiment, a Class-D amplifier is powered by a power supply providing power by way of a power supply voltage node and a ground node, the amplifier having improved common-mode voltage control. A first integrator stage receives an input signal and provides an output signal, the integrator stage having a first common-mode reference voltage applied thereto for control of the common-mode voltage of the integrator stage. A second integrator stage receives an input signal and provides an output signal, the integrator stage having a second common-mode reference voltage applied thereto for control of the common-mode voltage of the integrator stage. A comparator stage receives the output of the first integrator stage and the output of the second integrator stage and provides an output signal corresponding to the difference between them. An output stage provides an output of the amplifier. A digital voltage indicator generates a digital value corresponding to the voltage at the power supply voltage node, while a common-mode voltage supply provides the first common-mode reference voltage corresponding to the digital value.
