Abstract: A switching amplifier realizes bidirectional energy flow and combines switching and power amplification into one single stage so as to increase system efficiency. The modulator circuit of the amplifier receives and modulates an input signal, and generates and outputs modulated driver signals, which are used by the power driver circuit to generate signals to drive switching transformers of an amplifier circuit of the amplifier, and control signals, which are used to control an output generator circuit so as to allow individual inductors across the load by enabling current flowing through the load to have a path to ground. The amplifier circuit comprises switching transformers as well as circuitries configured to capture energy returned from the load and enable the captured energy to flow back to a power supply circuit of the amplifier through an energy flow-back circuit of the amplifier.

Abstract: A super-efficient single-stage switching power amplifier is realized by not incorporating a rectification process in its power conversion loop while incorporating a bidirectional active clamping circuit to not only remove or maximally reduce otherwise occurring disruptive ringing and spikes but also convert the energy otherwise associated with the ringing and spikes to return energy that goes back to the DC power supply.
