Abstract

Distortion and noise in high power digital PWM amplifiers is reduced by measuring the difference between the desired output signal and the actual output signal on a pulse by pulse basis. This analog error is converted into a digital signal with an analog to digital converter (ADC). The digital error signal is then used to correct the feedback of the delta sigma modulator in real time. Preferably, more than one moment of the modulator signal is corrected via the feedback. Preferably, the predictable error of the circuitry which is known a priori is also corrected by correcting the delta sigma modulator feedback. A specialized ADC allows the loop delay to be low, without compromising accuracy.
