Abstract
A filterless digital audio class-D amplifier (CDA) based on grow-Left double-edge (GLDE) pulse width modulation (PWM) is proposed in this paper. It consists of a high performance fully-digital uniform-sampling PWM (UPWM) modulator and a bridge-tied-load (BTL) power stage. Due to adopt the ternary PWM modulation scheme, the filterless solution without LC low-pass filter becomes possible. Finally, the error of the BTL power stage is properly corrected to make this amplifier system have a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and a high signal to noise ratio (SNR). The whole design is implemented on Matlab and Cadence platform, combining with 5V 0.35-μm CMOS process technology.
