3-2 Real-Time Power Supply Feedback Reduces
Power Conversion Requirements for Digital Class
D Amplifiers

The development of real-time power supply feedback
for an all-digital class D PWM amplifier enables the
use of many different power conversion techniques
allowing a greater number of alternatives to meet system
demand requirements. With a typical voltage ripple
rejection of 40dB at 60Hz, an all-digital PWM amplifier
with this PSR compensation can achieve better than
105dB system dynamic range and a total harmonic distortion
plus noise measurement of 0.1 percent. The
system performance of the real-time PSR feedback is
discussed and evaluated for a half-bridge and fullbridge
amplifier output stage powered from a low cost
unregulated linear power supply.
