    Abstract: A predictive brownout prevention system may be configured to prevent brownout of an audio output signal. Particularly, the brownout prevention system may be configured to receive information indicative of an amplitude of the audio input signal, receive information indicative of a condition of the power supply, receive information indicative of one or more of the following: 1) adaptive estimates of power supply conditions; 2) anticipated effects of power supply capacitance; and 3) condition of a load impedance, determine from the received information whether a brownout condition exists, and responsive to determining the brownout condition exists, generate the selectable attenuation signal to reduce an amplitude of the audio output signal such that the signal path attenuates the audio input signal or a derivative thereof in order to prevent brownout prior to propagation to the audio output of a portion of the audio input signal having the brownout condition.

    Abstract: A system may include a power converter comprising at least one stage having a dual anti-wound inductor having a first winding and a second winding constructed such that its windings generate opposing magnetic fields in its magnetic core and constructed such that a coupling coefficient between the first winding and the second winding is less than approximately 0.95 and a current control subsystem for controlling an electrical current through the dual anti-wound inductor, the current control subsystem configured to minimize a magnitude of a magnetizing electrical current of the dual anti-wound inductor to prevent core saturation of the dual anti-wound inductor and regulate an amount of output electrical current delivered by the power converter to the load in accordance with a reference input signal.
