A rail-to-rail PWM comparator with window function has been embedded in the class-D audio power amplifier. Design results based on the CSMC 0.5μm CMOS process show that the max efficiency is 90%, the PSRR is -75 dB, the power supply voltage range is 2.5-5.5 V, the THD＋N in 1 kHz input frequency is less than 0.20%, the quiescent current in no load is 2.8 mA, and the shutdown current is 0.5 pA, The active area of the class-D audio power amplifier is about 1.47 × 1.52 mm^2. With the good performance, the class-D audio power amplifier can be applied to several audio power systems.展开更多
