    Abstract: A power supply arrangement for a single ended class D amplifier, including a first primary winding connected in series with a first switch between the positive supply rail and ground, a second primary winding in phase with said first primary winding and connected in series with a second switch between the negative supply rail and ground, and a controller adapted to apply a control signal to said first and second switches, said control signal (Q) having ON-pulses of a predefined pulse time separated by a dead time. In use, the primary winding connected to the supply rail with the highest numerical voltage will transform the rail voltage difference to the supply rail with the lowest numerical voltage through the opposite primary winding thus reducing any voltage unbalance between the windings.

    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, an electro-dynamic transducer is disclosed including a diaphragm, a first suspension suspending the diaphragm, a coil former attached to the diaphragm, the coil former having a first, inner portion, and a second, outer portion, arranged coaxially in relation to each other, a coil arranged around the outer coil former portion, a magnetic system, operable to magnetically cooperate with the coil, and a second suspension mounted between the inner coil former portion and the magnetic system. The new and improved way of placing the second suspension allows for a slim form factor, while stabilizing the system more than prior art designs. The transducer according to one embodiment of the present invention is less sensitive to rocking modes, and the gap in the magnet system can thus be made smaller.

    Abstract: A pulse modulation power converter comprising a forward path including a forward block (15), a switching stage (11) for amplifying an output from the forward block, and an output filter (12) for low pass filtering an output signal from the switching stage, a global feedback path (13), connected to the low pass filtered output signal, comprising a global feedback block (18, 19) for generating a feedback signal, and means (14) for subtracting said feedback signal from an input signal, and feeding the result to said forward path. The global feedback block and/or forward block includes means for compensating at least a portion of a phase lag of said output filter, and means for obtaining a 180 degrees phase lag at a switching frequency, thereby achieving conditions for a controlled oscillation at said switching frequency. The control system combines the advantages of the self-oscillation technology with a high gain, wide-band control loop for suppressing non-linearities. This will lead to a better performing system in terms of total harmonic distortion and noise.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a compensator device for compensating signal dependent delay variations, including dead time and reverse recovery time, causing un-linearity in a Class-D amplifier where the compensator device comprises: a first input terminal for receiving an input pulse width modulated input PWM signal comprising pulses with falling flanks corresponding to a falling level transition and rising flanks corresponding to a rising level transition; and a second input terminal configured to receive the signal provided at an output switching node of a Class-D amplifier; an output terminal for providing a compensated output signal; and controllable delay means configured to receive and delay the pulse modulated input signal, thereby providing a delayed version of the input signal to said output terminal of the compensator device. The compensator device further comprises time measuring means configured for measuring the time between a transition of the signal provided at the output terminal of the compensator device and the corresponding transition of the signal at the output switching node of a Class-D amplifier and based on these measurements providing a control signal to the controllable delay means. An advantageous effect of the present invention is that the rising and falling level transition delays will be substantially similar thus substantially removing non-linearity and obtaining substantially correct pulse widths. The invention further relates to a corresponding method, a driver device and a Class-D amplifier.

    Abstract: A power converter with positive and negative supply rail outputs for feeding a single ended class D amplifier, the converter comprising a transformer arrangement, a supply pump reduction arrangement connected between the secondary windings and the positive and negative supply rail outputs, and a boost drive mode switching arrangement. A controller is adapted to control the power converter in a negate drive mode and a boost drive mode, wherein the output voltage in the boost mode is increased by means of the transformer and the boost drive mode switching arrangement. The output voltages on the positive and negative rails can be generated at two different output voltage levels without changing the duty cycle or dead time of the control signals.

    Abstract: Electro dynamic transducers can fail due to either excessive voice coil excursion, causing mechanical clipping, or by overheating of the voice coil causing degradation of the materials. The disclosed invention relates to protection against excess voice coil temperature in such transducers. The current through the transducer voice coil and the voltage across its terminals, are measured. The resistive part of the impedance of the transducer is then estimated based on the measurements of current and voltage. When the resistive impedance for the given type of transducer is well known at one temperature it is then possible to calculate the temperature when the resistive impedance changes. The estimated voice coil temperature is then fed to a signal attenuator or controller, which attenuates the output signal to the transducer.
