Abstract: A digital &Dgr;&Sgr; modulated signal produced by a quantizer (1c) in a &Dgr;&Sgr; modulation processing unit (1) is put in to a feedback loop before inputted to a power switch (2) and converted into an analog signal by a D/A converter (1d). This analog signal is fed back to the input stage (a differentiator (1a)) of the &Dgr;&Sgr; processing unit (1) to prevent the switching distortion of the power switch (2) itself from being introduced into the feedback loop thereby to suppress the influence of the switching distortion.
