摘要:
A modulator loop (700) designed to operate in a frequency range of interest is described. The loop (704) includes a loop output terminal and a switching stage, the output of which is coupled to the loop output terminal. The switching stage (704) has a first delay associated therewith. The output of a modulator stage is coupled to the input of the switching stage. A first feedback path is coupled between the loop output terminal and the feedback input of the modulator stage. A feedback filter is coupled between the output of the modulator stage and the feedback input of the modulator stage which compensates for the first delay. The feedback filter (708) is operable to transmit frequencies outside the frequency range of interest and attenuate frequencies in the frequency range of interest.

A control circuit (200) for controlling a level of an audio signal and transmitting the signal to an amplifier (AMP2) is described. The control circuit is based on an R-2R resistor network having a plurality of resistor nodes. A plurality of switches (S1, S2) alternately connects each of the plurality of resistor nodes to one of a plurality of low impedance nodes and a low impedance input node associated with the amplifier. Switch control circuitry (202) selectively controls the plurality of switches to transmit the audio signal to the low impedance input node.

A signal processing circuit is provided which includes a frequency selective network (314) in a feedback loop for noise shaping purposes. A sampling analog-to-digital converter (318) in the feedback loop operates at a sampling frequency substantially above the Nyquist frequency. A switching device (312) is driven by the sampling analog-to-digital converter and produces a continuous-time output signal which is continuously monitored by and fed back to the frequency selective network (314) for noise and distorsion correction in the feedback loop. State feedback (i.e., digital or sampled) of the output of the analog-to-digital converter may also be employed in combination with the continuous-time feedback of the switching output.

A circuit for sensing a current in an inductor is described. Integrator circuitry is operable to generate a first signal representing an integration of a voltage across the inductor. Comparison circuitry is operable to generate a reset signal each time the first signal reaches either a positive or negative threshold. The reset signal is for resetting the integrator circuitry. Logic circuitry is operable to generate a count direction signal indicating which of the positive and negative thresholds was reached to generate the reset signal. Counter circuitry is operable to increment or decrement a count representing the current in the inductor in response to the reset and count direction signals.

A circuit (100) for sensing a current in an inductor (102) is described. Integrator (104,106) circuitry is operable to generate a first signal representing an integration of a voltage across the inductor (102). Comparison circuitry (110,112) is operable to generate a reset signal each time the first signal reaches either a positive or negative threshold.

Logic circuitry is operable to generate a count direction signal indicating which of the positive and negative thresholds was reached to generate the reset signal. Counter circuitry (120) is operable to increment or decrement a count representing the current in the inductor (102) in response to the reset and count direction signals.
摘要:
An offset voltage calibration circuit for use with a digital switching amplifier (400). The calibration circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (406) for converting at least one DC offset voltage associated with the digital switching amplifier (400) to digital offset data. A memory (408) stores the digital offset data. Control circuitry (402) controls the analog-to-digital converter (406). A digital-to-analog converter (404) coupled to the memory (408) receives the digital offset data and generates an offset compensation voltage for applying to an input port of the digital switching amplifier which thereby cancels at least a portion of the at least one DC offset voltage.

A switching circuit is described which includes an output switch having a drive terminal and a power supply terminal. Driver circuitry provides a drive signal to the output switch. Isolation circuitry provides DC isolation between the driver circuitry and the output switch. Transient control circuitry controls the drive terminal, thereby keeping the output switch off during stabilization of a supply voltage at the power supply terminal.
