A Class D audio amplifier with output signals capable of being as high as the amplifier's supply voltage. The audio amplifier contains a comparator, a positive output stage, and a negative output stage. The output signal from the positive output stage and the output signal from the negative output stage have opposite polarities and are connected to the comparator's negative and positive input terminals respectively. The Class D audio amplifier has superior transient response, and in turn, provides good sound quality and low THD. The resulting variable switching frequencies also help to alleviate EMI problems.
