  • Abstract
    A low distortion third-order self-oscillating class D audio amplifier is integrated in a 0.7-μm CMOS process. It can deliver 1.4 W into an 8 Ω load with 5 V power supply. The presented amplifier eliminates the requirement for a high quality carrier. It achieves a dynamic range (DR) of 116.5 dB, and a peak THD+N of 0.0012% for a 1 kHz sinusoidal input. The efficiency is 84.5%. The area of the amplifier is 6 mm2.
