Abstract: A double reference wave modulation scheme for filterless power amplifiers is disclosed for reducing EMI. In the filterless power amplifier, differential outputs for driving load impedance are corrected based on input audio signals by the error amplifier. Reference wave generators generate reference waves. Comparators are responsive to the reference waves and the input audio signal. Operation states of the switching unit are decided based on output signals of the comparators and the switching unit output the differential output. Besides, a feedback unit feeds the differential output back to the error amplifier. By this configuration, complex control logic is not needed.

Abstract: A double reference wave modulation scheme for filterless power amplifiers is disclosed for reducing EMI and common mode voltages. In the filterless power amplifier, differential outputs for driving load impedance are feedback and corrected based on input audio signals. Reference wave generators generate reference waves. A control logic results pulses in the pair of differential outputs in response to a clock signal or a reference voltage and a cross relationship between the input audio signal and the first and second reference waves. Pulses of one of the differential outputs are not overlapped with pulses of the other of the differential outputs for eliminating common mode noises of the power amplifier.
