The filtered output of multiple possible voltage levels are AC-coupled to a load. An incoming data stream provides input to a pulsewidth modulator which issues control voltages to three or more switching devices, respectively. A first switching device provides a controlled connection to the incoming power supply (V+), a second switching device provides a controlled connection to a lower reference voltage (VR), and a third switching device provides a controlled connection to common, or ground. The common connection of switching devices provides an input to an inductor, which, in conjunction with a capacitor removes out-of-band components before presentation of the output to one side of load. Another capacitor provides a pseudo-ground for the second side of load in a manner consistent with the art of AC-coupled power amplifiers.
