Pwm Class D Issues

Hi
It looks like a Class D amplifier output stage.
It's basically a pulse width modulated power switch with a low pass filter.

U2 is a MOSFET driver with high side and low side gate drive.

Check Q4 and then ohm for any low impedance or shorts on the output.
If OK, check with O-scope after disconnecting the 60V drain supply.
EDIT>If the otherside is working, use it for a reference.

Cheers
 
@infinia Thanks very much for the assistance 🙂

If i am understanding the PWM theory part correctly.
If the amplitude of the audio signal increases or decreases to the mark/space ratio of the waveform, do higher frequency's dictate the amount of on time and lower frequency's the amount of off time on the wave form?
