A D class amplifier of the invention generates a carrier signal Pct based
on a master clock .PHI.p without jitter, which is supplied to a PWM
circuit. Using a digital PLL including a phase comparator, a loop filter
and a carrier oscillator, the generated carrier signal Pct is
synchronized with a sampling signal SL. This can produce the carrier
signal Pct that is not affected by the jitter contained in the sampling
signal SL. Because a phase difference between the sampling signal SL and
the carrier signal Pct is fedback to through a feedback circuit, jitter,
which can be produced by a slight difference between the sampling signal
SL and the master clock .PHI.p can be eliminated.
