Abstract: An amplifier may include a first stage configured to receive an input signal at an amplifier input and generate an intermediate signal which is a function of the input signal, and a final output stage configured to generate an output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal at an amplifier output, and a signal feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and input. The final output stage may be switchable among a plurality of modes including at least a first mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as a modulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal, and a second mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as an unmodulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal. Structure of the feedback network and the first stage may remain static when switching between modes.

Abstract: A system may include a digital pulse width modulator subsystem, a first path coupled to an output of the digital pulse width modulator subsystem and configured to drive an open-loop driver stage, a second path coupled to the output of the digital pulse width modulator subsystem and configured to drive a closed-loop analog pulse width modulator, a controller to select between the first path and the second path for processing a signal based on one or more characteristics of the signal, and a calibration subsystem configured to calibrate at least one of a first gain of the first path and a second gain of the second path in order that the first gain and the second gain are at least approximately equal at the time of switching selection between the first path and the second path or vice versa, in order to minimize artifacts due to the switching.
