Claim Text:
1. A liquid discharge apparatus comprising: a modulation circuit that generates a modulated signal by pulse-modulating a source signal; a transistor that amplifies the modulated signal to generate an amplified modulated signal; a low-pass filter that includes an inductor and a capacitor and smoothes the amplified modulated signal to generate a drive signal; a feedback circuit that returns the drive signal to the modulation circuit; a circuit board on which the modulation circuit, the transistor, the low-pass filter, and the feedback circuit are mounted; a piezoelectric element that is displaced by application of the drive signal thereto; a cavity that is filled with a liquid inside and has an internal volume which changes when the piezoelectric element is displaced; and a nozzle that is provided to discharge the liquid inside the cavity in response to the change of the internal volume of the cavity, wherein the circuit board has a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface, wherein the capacitor and the feedback circuit are mounted and a first ground wiring connected to the capacitor and a second ground wiring connected to the feedback circuit are provided on the first mounting surface, and wherein at least one of the modulation circuit, the transistor, and the inductor is mounted on the second mounting surface.
