“…An innovative multilevel PWM was presented in [14], which was implemented by converting the two-level PWM signal directly into a multilevel signal using the original time-division adder. An integrated Class-D amplifier with an ultralow level of EMI, using a feed-forward ADC and feedback filters, was presented in [15]. Another method of reducing EMI in Class-D amplifiers is the use of pseudorandomized carrier frequency modulation (PRCFM) [16].…”

This paper presents new and original architectures and implementations of two filterless, open-loop digital Class-BD audio amplifiers with constant common mode (CM) output voltage. The first, low-power amplifier consists of four ultrahigh-current EL7158 pin drivers, the OUT pins of which form the H bridge. The drivers are controlled from the extended LBDD PWM modulator and have appropriately set voltage levels on the VL and VH pins. The second proposed amplifier consists of two cooperating H-bridge power stages (HBS) implemented on complementary MOSFET pairs and powered by two different voltages. Both HBSs are driven by four EL7158 pin drivers having appropriately adjusted voltage levels on the VL and VH pins and controlled by an extended LBDD PWM modulator. The hybrid 9 bit DPWM modulator uses a linearized Class-BD double-sided modulation scheme with pre-compensation, enabling the most faithful emulation of natural NBDD PWM and, thus, providing attractive spectral characteristics at the DM output. Basic SPICE simulations and experimental results of the proposed digital Class-BD amplifiers were compared with the conventional digital Class-BD amplifiers. The elimination of CM signals significantly contributes to the reduction in electromagnetic interference (EMI), particularly those produced on the cables connecting the loudspeaker to the HBS terminal. Proposed Class-BD amplifiers with original and new topologies, due to their simple design and easy control (no galvanic isolation of control signals and no floating bias power supplies), which generate no CM voltage and feature excellent DM performance, similar to conventional Class-BD amplifiers, are very attractive solutions for filterless Class-BD amplifiers.
