Abstract
A system for sensing an electrical quantity may include a sensing stage configured to sense the electrical quantity and generate a sense signal indicative of the electrical quantity, wherein the electrical quantity is indicative of an electrical signal generated by a Class-DG amplifier configured to drive a load wherein the Class-DG amplifier has multiple signal-level common modes and a common-mode compensator configured to compensate for changes to a common-mode voltage of a differential supply voltage of the driver occurring when switching between signal-level common modes of the Class-DG amplifier.
