Abstract: This paper presents a high efficiency stereo single-chip class-D power amplifier based on the CSMC 0.5μm DPDM CMOS process. Using a differential negative feedback scheme and a H-bridge output stage, it eliminates the output lowpass LC filter. Simulation results and measurements both show that when the THD+N is less than 0.5%, the power amplifier can deliver more than 3.5W×2 into 3Ω loads without a filter at the power supply voltage of 5V. The maximal efficiency of the amplifier is up to 90% from 3V to 6V of the power supply voltage. It achieves the THD+N of each channel of less than 0.1%, when the delivered power is less than 3.0W and the supply voltage is 5V.

Key words: audio power amplifier, filterless, integral feedback, total harmonic distortion
