A Class-D amplifier architecture to compensate for the instability problem due to the LC filter variation

Class D audio amplifier is widely used in many electronic applications such as automobiles, laptops, and mobile phones. However, electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by Class-D audio amplifiers frequently requires an external LC filter for suppression. The LC filter itself causes significant nonlinearity. Hence, feedback after LC is...

A - 121.5-dB THD Class-D Audio Amplifier With 49-dB LC Filter Nonlinearity Suppression

Class-D audio amplifiers produce electromagnetic interference (EMI), which often needs to be suppressed by an external LC filter. However, due to component nonlinearity, this filter can itself cause significant distortion. This article presents a class-D amplifier that suppresses LC filter nonlinearity by 49 dB and is robust to ±30%...
