    摘要: A class-D amplifier including a pulse width modulator including an input configured to receive a first signal based on an input signal, and an output configured to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal; an H-bridge including an input coupled to an output of the pulse width modulator and an output coupled to a load, wherein the H-bridge is configured to generate an output signal across the load based on the PWM signal; and a deadtime compensation circuit coupled to the H-bridge, wherein the deadtime compensation circuit is configured to compensate for deadtime distortion in the output signal. The deadtime compensation circuit may be a feedback circuit between an output of the H-bridge and an input of the pulse width modulator, a pulse modification circuit at the output of the pulse width modulator, or an offset signal generating circuit providing an offset signal to the pulse width modulator.

    摘要: A level shifter includes a compact bias generator. The compact bias generator generates a first bias signal and a second bias signal, in the absence of a buffer. The level shifter also includes a first latch in a first stage to translate a first voltage to a second voltage based on the first bias signal. The level shifter further includes a second latch in a second stage to translate the first voltage to a third voltage based on the second bias signal. The first bias signal is independent of the second bias signal.
