Switching amplifier having linear transition totem pole modulation

A system, comprising:

• a control circuit having an input, first control outputs, and second control outputs, the control circuit including a filter and a modulation signal generator coupled between the input and the first control outputs and an amplifier coupled between the input and the second control outputs;
• a first power stage having first control inputs and a first power stage output, the first control inputs coupled to the first control outputs;
• a second power stage having second control inputs and a second power stage output, the second control inputs coupled to the second control outputs;
• an inductor coupled between the first power stage output and a first output;
• and
• a capacitor coupled between the first output and the second power stage output.

A method comprising:

• receiving a first signal;
• filtering the first signal using a filter;
• generating first control signals from the filtered first signal using a modulation signal generator;
• generating second control signals from the first signal using an amplifier;
• generating a second signal by providing the first control signals to a first power stage;
• and
• generating a third signal by providing the second control signals to a second power stage.
