Thank you... that's why I asked...
Good point, some of the chips I looked at with enough grunt to drive a speaker had low side switches too, but only 1x versue 2x devices for the high side.
Yes, the self oscillating class D is very hip, but if I bail on a PS chip I may as well generate the PWM from the micro I'm using, since I'm making very specific sinewaves, and I need to do a D/A somewhere in this process..
From a quick look at those H drivers I'm not sure they are the right choice for my low rail voltage app.. I'm using 9V now but thinking of going lower voltage in my next design.
I was hoping to avoid rolling my own boost circuits for high side drivers and managing the switch timing. Since I don't care (too much) about linearity I can just throw in some dead time and maybe cobble together some discrete FET switches.

Have you ever looked at those couple watt class D amp chips (sorry don't recall the PN) ? I think they're probably made for computer speakers or such?
I'm trying to avoid reinventing the wheel, but I'm also trying to keep this cheap.
Thanks again your comments were helpful. I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be. I just need to buffer my PWM. KI
