Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for power supply rejection for an amplifier may include generating a correction signal by multiplying a quantity indicative of a power supply voltage of the amplifier by a transfer function defining a response from the power supply voltage of the amplifier to an output signal of the amplifier and subtracting the correction signal from a signal within a signal path of a circuit comprising the amplifier.

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.
