A digital amplifier causes a gate drive circuit to drive output transistors, and switches a power source voltage supplied from a variable voltage power source, thereby amplifying an amplitude of a 1-bit digital signal outputted from a ΔΣ block. A variable voltage power source varies a driving voltage, by which an upper gate drive circuit drives output transistors, as a voltage obtained by adding (i) a constant voltage supplied to a lower gate drive circuit to (ii) a power source voltage, so as to correspond to the power source voltage. Thus, the driving voltage is minimized without influencing a switching operation of the output transistors. As a result, it is possible to reduce power consumption of the upper gate drive circuit in turning down the volume.

The present invention provides lossless switching by configuring the output inductor so that the ripple current amplitude at load conditions results in small negative current during switching. The reconfigured output inductor results in increased ripple current amplitude. This increased ripple amplitude may be further controlled using zero ripple steering techniques to eliminate ripple at the output capacitor. A ripple steering technique involves adding a secondary output to the class D amplifier which steers the switching ripple away from the main output thus substantially relieving the main output from a major artifact of prior art Class D amplifiers.
