Abstract:
An amplifier includes a first stage, a second stage coupled to the first stage, and a summation circuit. The first stage is configured to receive an analog input signal, convert the analog input signal to a digital signal, and output an intermediate analog output signal in response to the digital signal. The second stage is configured to output a second analog intermediate output signal based on a scaled pulse width modulation quantization error of the first stage. The summation circuit is configured to combine the first and second analog intermediate output signals to generate an amplified output signal.
