    Abstract: A power supply that includes a first current generator circuit that is coupled to a first transformer and generates a first waveform and a second current generator circuit that is coupled to a second transformer, and generates a second waveform that is out of phase with the first waveform. The first and second waveforms are rectified and combined into a DC output signal. The power supply includes a first coupling circuit that couples the first current generator circuit to the first transformer and a second coupling circuit that couples the second current generator circuit to the second transformer.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide an audio amplifier circuit with integrated (built-in) filter (e.g., a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) filter). The audio amplifier circuit may have a non-flat (e.g., low-pass) closed loop frequency response. The audio amplifier circuit may include a low pass filter coupled between an input terminal that receives the input analog audio signal and the input of the gain stage of the amplifier. In some embodiments, additional impedance networks may be included to produce a desired low-pass filter response, such as a second order filter, a third order filter, and/or another suitable filter response. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A tracking power supply for one or more amplifiers includes one or more cascaded sets of power boost circuits to temporarily boost the positive and/or negative power supply rail, respectively. Each power boost circuit may include a gain element and an energy source such as a capacitor or battery, and the power boost circuits are linked to provide a greater degree of voltage boost when needed. An optional control circuit monitors amplifier output signal levels, or separately amplified input signal levels, and provides power boost control signals to the power boost circuits, which temporarily raise or lower the positive and/or negative supply voltages above or below the nominal voltage rails in tandem with the highest and lowest output signals, respectively, from the amplifier(s).
