Abstract
An audio amplifier system includes a delta-sigma modulator configured to receive an m-bit digital audio input signal and to generate a pulse density modulated signal based on the m-bit digital audio input signal. An analog power stage is coupled to the delta-sigma modulator to receive the pulse density modulated signal and amplify the pulse density modulated signal to generate an amplified pulse density modulated signal. A feedback circuit is coupled to the delta-sigma modulator and the analog power stage. The feedback circuit is configured to receive the amplified pulse density modulated signal and the pulse density modulated signal and to determine a digital error signal representative of a difference between the amplified pulse density modulated signal and the pulse density modulated signal. The feedback circuit is further configured to provide the digital error signal to the delta-sigma modulator for applying the digital error signal to a representation of the m-bit digital audio input signal.
