It depends on whether the phase shift of the output with respect to the input is important. A 1KHz single pole filter would give approximately
22 deg of lag @ 400 Hz.Cut off Freq for Class D amp

I am designing a switching class D amplifier who's H-Bridge will be switching around 138Khz. The fundamental I need to recover at the load is
400Hz. Does it matter too much where i should make the filter cut off at? I know higher cut off freq, smaller the components. I am thinking around
1Khz?
Thanks in advance
And the amount of ripple, which should not be ignored.

Thanks... I have a couple of designs i will breadboard and evaluate.
If the 400Hz is moving about a lot then a minor point could be raised that the filter may best be designed as something having a clean impulse response and hence won't suffer too much from 'ringing' artefacts on the output waveform. You've lots of meat to eat into, so something like a Bessel filter starting to roll off from say 20kHz may be worthwhile. regards john
