    摘要: Recently, the use of class-D audio amplifiers has become more and more widespread. In contrast to the generally employed class-AB linear amplification technology, class-D allows for improved efficiency. However, the class-D principle is known for its poor distortion characteristics. According to the present invention a digital amplifier (18) is provided for converting an audio signal to a power output, comprising a ripple suppression circuit (16) for suppressing voltage ripples in a supply voltage supplied to the bridge circuit with (6) at least one pair of switches. The ripple suppression circuit (16) suppresses ripples in the supply voltage supplied to a switch in the bridge circuit (6), which has been found to cause a major part of the distortions in the output signal of the digital amplifier (18).

    摘要: Adaptation circuits (3) for controlling conversion circuits (1-2) for converting input signals into pulse signals and for converting pulse signals into output signals are provided with generators (30) for generating control signals in dependence of input signals and (basic idea) with compensation circuits (71-72, 81-83) for adjusting the generators (30) in dependence of input information for increasing a stability of output signals, to be able to supply relatively constant output signals to loads (6). The adaptation circuits (3) may reduce dependencies between input signals and output signals and may generate control signals independently from output signals to avoid feedback loops. Input signals may be input voltages, output signals may be output currents, and input information may comprise input voltages and nominal input voltages for compensating for variations of input voltages or may comprise nominal output voltages and input currents proportional to output voltages for compensating for variations of output voltages.

    摘要: A control unit (2) of a remote control receiver sets the forward or reverse direction operating mode of the photodiode (1) as a function of the useful signal level of its output signal, and to be precise, during standby, the photovoltaic operating mode (forward mode), since in this mode no external bias current is required. If the useful signal level of the photodiode (1) exceeds a predefined threshold, the reverse mode is set, and this brings with it a higher sensitivity. A series circuit (A) of a number of identical photodiodes DA1 DAn the forward mode allows the realization of a controlled current source (6) having a transistor (T), since the permissible diode voltage (Ud) of the overall arrangement may have n times the value of the operating voltage of an individual photodiode. Thus at the same time the voltage across the individual diodes can be set to a very low value and a favorable operating range for the current source can be set. The possible sensitivity of the receiver module having diodes in this operating mode can thereby be considerably increased.

    摘要: In a switching DC converter with a resonant circuit output stage, the energy remaining in the resonant circuit for switching the switches of the converter in an inductive mode of operation is used to control the phase of switching. The turn-on phase of each switch is controlled to assure zero voltage switching, and the turn-off phase of each switch is controlled to assure that the resonant circuit has sufficient energy to provide this zero voltage switching.

    摘要: The invention relates to a converter comprising switching elements for chopping a direct voltage, in which turn-on phases of the switching elements alternate with one another, and comprising a circuit arrangement with resonant circuit elements processing the chopped direct voltage and serving for the supply of an output voltage. To improve such a converter in such a way that zero voltage switching (ZVS) can be ensured in an extended range of converter operations with possibly inexpensive converter modifications, it is proposed that the length of the dead-time phases, which are present between two consecutive turn-on phases and during which the switching elements are turned off, is automatically adapted so that switching losses, which occur particularly when the switching elements are turned on, can be minimized.
