Class D power amplifier has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, high efficiency, large output power, and small distortion, therefore is applied widely in the audio power amplifier integrated circuit. But because of existing higher harmonic components, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is high. In this paper, for the characteristics of class D amplifier, a feed-forward control circuit is added to the amplifier output terminal, and a composite filter is used to inhibit output harmonics further. The simulation results show that, the method can reduce the system THD effectively and improve the performance of the amplifier.

Since the parasitic voltage ringing and switching power losses limit the operation of active devices at elevated frequencies; therefore, a higher‐order inductor‐capacitor (LC) filter is commonly used, which offers extended attenuation above the cutoff frequency and thus, improves the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the amplifier. This paper applies the concept of integral sliding‐mode control to a fourth‐order class‐D amplifier. Two fixed‐frequency double integral sliding‐mode (FFDISM) controllers are proposed, where one uses the inductor current while the other involves the capacitor current feedback. Their equivalent control equations are derived, but from the realization viewpoint, the controller using the capacitor current feedback is advantageous and, therefore, is selected for final implementation. The performance of the proposed FFDISM controller for fourth‐order GaN class‐D amplifier is confirmed using simulation and experimental results.
