Class-D amplifier and electronic apparatus

A class-D amplifier that drives a sound-producing device serving as a capacitive load, the class-D amplifier comprising:

• a first output circuit including a first switching device and a second switching device that are connected in series between a first power supply line and a second power supply line, and complementarily operate, the first power supply line providing first potential, the second power supply line providing second potential lower than the first potential, wherein the sound-producing device is connected in series to an inductor connected to a first output node of the first output circuit, and wherein the sound-producing device and the inductor constitute an LC filter;
• a first capacitor connected between the first power supply line and the second power supply line;
• a pulse width modulator generating a pulse width modulated switching signal based on a triangular wave and an audio signal, and providing the switching signal to the first output circuit;
• a slew rate limiting amplifier connected to an input part of the pulse width modulator to which the audio signal is provided, and limiting a slew rate of output;
• and
• a low-pass filter provided between the slew rate limiting amplifier and the input part of the pulse width modulator, wherein the low-pass filter prevents a signal having a same frequency component as a resonance frequency of the LC filter from being input to the pulse width modulator.
