Abstract: An electronic motor control system provides selectable linear and pulse-width modulated (PWM) operation without generating cross-over distortion. The system includes an output stage that has a pair of push-pull drivers each coupled to a terminal of the motor. The electronic motor control system also includes a pulse-width modulated (PWM) driver for providing pulse-width modulated drive signals to an input of the output stage when the pulse-width modulated mode is selected and a linear amplifier stage that provides a linear analog signal to the input of the output stage in linear mode, so that both drivers are operated to supply the current to the motor. In pulse-width modulated mode, a driver is selected for PWM operation, while the other driver is operated to supply a fixed voltage. A feedback control loop senses motor current and provides outputs to the pulse-width modulator and the linear amplifier stage.

Abstract: An electronic control system provides selectable linear and pulse-width modulated (PWM) operation with reduced disruption when changing from PWM operation to linear operation. The system includes an output stage that has a push-pull driver coupled to the load, which may be a motor, a haptic device, or other device requiring current-mode control. The system also includes a pulse-width modulated (PWM) driver for providing pulse-width modulated drive signals to gates of the transistors of the output stage when a pulse-width modulated mode is selected, and a linear amplifier stage that provides a linear analog signal to the gates of the transistors when a linear mode is selected. A pre-charging circuit pre-charges the gates during a pre-charge cycle that is initiated when the operating mode changes from the PWM operating more to the linear operating mode.

Abstract: A method for calculating a calibration gain used for common-mode rejection in a current sensing system may include measuring a first value of a common-mode voltage associated with the current sensing system and a first output value of the current sensing system occurring at the first value of the common-mode voltage, measuring a second value of the common-mode voltage associated with the current sensing system and a second output value of the current sensing system occurring at the second value of the common-mode voltage, and based on a difference between the second output value of the current sensing system and the first output value of the current sensing system and a difference between the second value of the common-mode voltage and the first value of the common-mode voltage, calculating the calibration gain.

Abstract: A dynamically stabilizable amplifier drives an output current into an RLC load. A driver stage generates the output current, and a control circuit compares a current level of the amplifier output with a threshold and selectively enables a stabilizing resistor (to selectively shunt the load or dampen in series with the load, depending on RLC load type) at the driver stage output based on the comparison so that the amplifier is stable across a range of the output current level. The control circuit disables the resistor when the output current is above the highest threshold and enables it when below. The control circuit may control the resistor to have one of multiple resistance values based on a comparison with multiple thresholds. The output current level may be determined by replicating the output current level or by an input current level that sets the output current level independent of the load.

Abstract: A method may include applying an excitation signal to a capacitor of the capacitive sensor which causes generation of a modulated signal from an input signal indicative of a variance in a capacitance of the capacitor, detecting the modulated signal with a detector to generate a detected modulated signal that has a phase shift relative to the excitation signal, demodulating the detected modulated signal into an in-phase component and a quadrature component using a reference signal, nullifying the quadrature component by setting a phase of the reference signal relative to the excitation signal to compensate for the phase shift, and outputting the in-phase component as an unmodulated output signal representative of the capacitance.

Abstract: Errors in measurements of a resistor to monitor current through a speaker may be corrected to improve the accuracy, performance, or quality of other signals affected by the measurement. Error may occur in the current measurement resulting from variations in measurements involving the resistor, such as errors based on the sense resistor's response to temperature or voltage differential. Correcting the measurement errors can prevent the overcurrent condition from occurring, and otherwise improve audio output from the speaker. Thus, a method for correcting measurements in a speaker monitoring circuit may include monitoring a current through a speaker by receiving a measurement that is correlated to the current output through the speaker; and correcting the measurement for one or more inaccuracies in the measurement.

Abstract: The overall performance of a current sense amplifier system may be improved by increasing the common mode rejection of the system. In particular, improved current sense amplifiers may be configured to use a first signal path coupled to the amplifier and a first input terminal, wherein the first signal path is configured to measure the current through a device by generating a voltage proportional to the measured current, wherein the generated voltage comprises a small signal voltage with a large common mode voltage, and a second signal path coupled to the amplifier and the first input terminal, wherein the second signal path is configured to reduce the common mode of the generated voltage by level shifting the generated voltage to reduce the common mode voltage.
