Apulse width modulation (PWM) circuit comprises a first integrator (g m1) witha first feedback capacitor (C1), a second integrator (gm1) with a second feedback capacitor (C2) and a comparator (A0) having a first input (V1) connected to the output of the first integrator (gm1) and a second input (V2) connected to the output of the second integrator (gm2). A connection path comprising a resistor (R2) is established from the output of the first integrator (gm1) to an input of the second integrator (gm2). The first and second feedback capacitors (C1, C2) have capacities witha non-linear factor X(V) and a circuit with an inversely non-linear factor X-1(V) is arranged in the connection path between the output of the first integrator (gm1) and said input of the second integrator (gm2). The PWM circuit may formpath of a Class-D amplifier.
摘要:
Techniques for interpolating two voltages without loading them and without requiring significant power or additional area are described. The techniques include specific topologies for the buffering amplifiers that offer accuracy by cancelling systematic error sources without relying on high gain, thus simplifying the frequency compensation, and reducing power consumption. This can be achieved by biasing the amplifiers from the load current by an innovative feedback structure, which can remove the need for high impedance nodes inside the amplifiers.
