    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an apparatus for closed loop control of a linear resonant actuator comprising a motor drive circuit configured to provide a motor drive signal, a current and voltage sensing circuit coupled to the output terminal of the motor drive circuit and across the motor, and having current sense and a voltage sense outputs. A resonant frequency and back emf extraction circuit receives the current sense and voltage sense outputs, and outputs a resonant frequency signal output and a measured back emf signal output. An actuator model circuit has inputs coupled to the output of the motor drive circuit, the resonant frequency signal output, and a mechanical system quality factor signal generated by an adaptation circuit having an input coupled to the error summing circuit output. The error summing circuit has inputs coupled to the output of the actuator model and the measured back emf signal.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a method for closed loop phase tracking comprised of determining a first estimated resonant frequency, generating a motor drive signal at the first estimated resonant frequency and applying the motor drive signal to a motor, measuring current and voltage of the motor drive signal, and filtering the measurements of current and voltage of the motor drive signal. The phase difference between the filtered current and voltage waveforms is measured and a second estimated resonant frequency is calculated. The generated motor drive frequency is adjusted to equal the second estimated resonant frequency.

    Abstract: A system includes a gain control circuit configured to dynamically select a gain value based on an estimated temperature for a speaker voice coil, a base gain value, and a threshold temperature value. The system also includes a power control circuit configured to determine a power limit value based on the gain value. The system also includes a filter circuit configured to adjust values of a digitized audio signal based on the power limit value. The system also includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) coupled to the filter circuit and configured to convert a digital output of the filter circuit to an analog audio signal.
