Abstract

Apparatus and methods for driving multiple output stages with a single switching amplification modulator reduce system cost and complexity. The technique also addresses applications wherein one or more of several output stages of potentially differing output powers are desired at one time. That is, the switching drivers and loads can be the same or different.

Claims (4)

1. A multi-output switching amplifier, comprising:

a pulsewidth modulator operative to convert an input signal into a pulsewidth-modulated output signal; and

a plurality or output stages, including output stages of differing output power capabilities, each configured to receive the pulsewidth-modulated output signal and drive a separate load.

2. The multi-output switching amplifier claim 1 , including a switched connection to at least one of the output stages.
