D類功率放大器一般應用在高效率的電路當中，應用在助聽器的系統當中，除了需較高的效率之外，我們也求較低的工作電壓以及較低的功率，而操作頻率是屬於低頻的訊號。
我們的電路設計是基於TSMC 035 製程技術，電路的工作電壓是1.5V和允許的輸入信號頻率是4KHz，經模擬之後，更進一步的證明出D類放大器是一種高效率的放大器。當我們使用2KHz的操作頻率和振幅是0.3V的輸入訊號時，我們可以得到最大的總諧波失真是0.63%和靜態電流是4uA以及83.6%的效率。

Class D power amplifier applies in high efficiency circuit. In hearing aid system, we require high power efficiency, low-voltage and low-power. The operation of frequency is low frequency.

All the circuits are designed based on the TSMC 035 CMOS process technology. The supply voltage is 1.5V and the input signal is 4KHz. Simulation results show that the Class D power efficiency is high efficiency amplifier. When 0.3V of 2KHz input signal is applied, The maximum THD is 0.63% and static current is 4uA and the efficiency is 83.6%.
