Abstract :
In this paper, the effects of power supply noise, qualified by power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), on two types of bridge-tied load (BTL) pulse width modulation (PWM) class D amps (denoted as Type-I BTL and Type-II BTL respectively) are investigated and the analytical expressions for PSRR of the two designs derived. The derived analytical expressions are verified by means of HSPICE simulations. The relationships derived herein provide good insight to the design of BTL class D amps, including how various parameters may be varied/optimized to meet a given PSRR specification. Furthermore, the PSRR of the two BTL Class D amps are compared against the single-ended class D amp, and the former designs show superior PSRR compared to the latter.
