A digital input PWM power amplifier includes an oversampling and noise
shaping circuit receiving pulse code modulated (PCM) digital input data
organized in words of a first number of M bits at a bit rate, and
outputting PCM digital data organized in words of a smaller number of N
bits at a multiple bit rate. A first bus transmits a first number of most
significant bits (MSB) of the N bit words output from the oversampling and
noise shaping circuit, and a second bus transmits a second number of least
significant bits (LSB) of the N bit words output from the oversampling and
noise shaping circuit. First and second PCM/PWM converters are
respectively fed with the first and second number of bits transmitted
through the first and second buses. The PWM signal output by the first
converter is summed to an attenuated PWM signal output by the second
converter on the inverting input node of the output power stage.
