摘要:
A thermal sensor at the output of a switching amplifier senses heat dissipation at the output switch. If an overheating condition is sensed, gain of the digital input signal is lowered to reduce output power of the audio output signal.

A method and system for integrating a mismatch noise shaper (108) into the main loop of a delta-sigma modulator (100) are disclosed. The output of the mismatch noise shaper (108) is fed back to the summer (102) as a feedback signal that is responsive to the mismatch noise shaper (108). At appropriate times, the mismatch noise shaper (108) selectively overrides the quantizer so that the output of the noise shaper differs from an output of the quantizer. The overriding feature distinguishes the present invention from a DEM, as the output of a DEM is only a re-ordering of the same number of elements as its input. The mismatch noise shaper (108) selectively overrides the quantizer when the output of the quantizer has prevented the mismatch noise shaper (108) to control selection of elements at the output of the mismatch noise shaper (108) for a pre-determined time period.

A digital to analog (DAC, ADC) converter including a noise shaping modulator for modulating an input digital data stream, a plurality of output elements for generating a plurality of intermediate data streams from a modulated output stream from the modulator, and an output summer for summing the intermediate data streams to generate an output analog stream. The noise shaping modulator balances an edge transition rate of the output elements, such that the edge transition rate of two selected elements is approximately equal.

摘要:
A gain control (12) at the input monitors an input signal (DIGITAL INPUT) and a supply voltage (V+), which drives an output. The gain control (12) adjusts the gain to compress the input signal when the supply voltage decreases in magnitude and/or the input is of such magnitude to cause the supply voltage to decrease.
摘要:
A sample and hold circuit including a sampling capacitor for storing a sample of an input signal, an output stage for outputting the sample stored on the sampling capacitor; and input circuitry for sampling the input signal and storing the sample on the sampling capacitor. The input circuitry includes an autozeroing input buffer which selectively samples the input signal during a first operating phase and holds a sample of the input signal during a second operating phase. The autozeroing input buffer cancels any offset error. The input circuitry also includes switching circuitry for selectively coupling the sampling capacitor with an input of the sample and hold circuitry during the second operating phase and to an output of the autozeroing input buffer during the first operating phase.

A method and system of operating dynamic element matching ("DEM") system with two or more power supplies are disclosed. A connection system (12) of the DEM system is driven with one power supply operating at one voltage. Connection system couples to components that are to be matched and equalized in usage by ordering outputs to components and activating the components according to ordered outputs. A connection calculator (16) of the DEM system is driven with another power supply operating at another voltage different from the one voltage. Connection calculator is coupled to the connection system, and connection calculator calculates an order of usage of components. A level shifter system (14) level shifts voltage levels of signals from connection system to connection calculator, and another level shifter system (18) level shifts voltage levels of signals from connection calculator to connection system.

A method of processing digital audio data includes receiving an input stream of audio data having a first quantization and a high oversampling rate. The input stream is requantized in a first processing block at the high oversampling rate to a second quantization. The requantized stream of audio data is processed in a second processing block at the high oversampling rate and the second quantization.
摘要:
An output stage 300 includes a first output switch 201 having a current path for driving an output from a first voltage rail and a second output switch 202 having a current path for selectively driving the output from a second voltage rail. A first reference switch 301 is scaled with respects to first output switch 201 and has a current path coupled to the first voltage rail. A second reference switch 302 scaled with respect to second output switch 202 has a current path coupled to a current path of first reference switch 301 at a node and the second voltage rail. The logic measures an impedance mismatch between first and second reference switches 301, 302 and proportionally varies the impedance of a selected one of first and second output switches 201, 202 in response.
