Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an apparatus may include a signal path comprising a closed-loop analog pulse width modulator having a forward signal path and a feedback path, a variable resistor coupled to an output of the closed-loop analog pulse width modulator, and a control circuit configured to modify the variable resistor in order to modify an output impedance outside of the feedback path of the closed-loop analog pulse width modulator responsive to a condition for switching between a high output impedance mode and a low output impedance mode of the closed-loop analog pulse width modulator or vice versa.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the signal path further comprises a gain element and the control circuit is further configured to vary a gain of the gain element when switching from the high output impedance mode to the low output impedance mode or vice versa such that an overall path gain of the signal path remains substantially constant as a result of the switching.
