摘要： A method and apparatus of converting a data signal in a digital rate converter including upsampling the input data signal at an input sampling rate to an intermediate data signal at an intermediate sampling rate, where the intermediate data signal sample values are stored in a buffer. A plurality of buffer position values are provided from a subset of buffer positions of the buffer to an interpolator, the subset of buffer positions being dependent upon a position indicator. An output data signal is provided by the interpolator at an output sampling rate, where the value of the output data signal is dependent upon a fractional indicator provided to the interpolator. The input sampling rate is based on a first clock signal and the output sampling rate is based on a second clock signal, wherein the first and second clock signal are independent of each other.

摘要： A method for preserving phase information during quantization of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals used in power system applications. In one embodiment, a digital audio amplifier (12) implements a method of noise shaping, where the quantization error is used in coordination with a noise shaping filter (64) to remove the noise from the desired baseband of the output. A phase-preserving expression is used to provide additional information for generating the amplified output (40). In one embodiment, the filter (64) includes a series of integrators (70, 72), where non-linear integration terms are added at each stage of integration to provide the phase information. In one embodiment the filter is implemented in software to run on a digital signal processor, and in another the filter is implemented in a hardware accelerator.

摘要： An active filter provides ripple cancellation in a DC-DC converter. The feedforward filter applies to any converter with an output filter inductor. The filter is inherently stable, performs in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, and applies to resonant converters. A suitable linear amplifier, combined with a current transformer, results in a low loss implementation. An adaptive tuning scheme compensates for inductance variation and drift. The filter is usable with buck, push-pull, and boost converter topologies. The result is output ripple below 10 mV.sub.RMS. The filter is effective on converters with outputs as low as 2 V and currents beyond 30 A.

摘要： A DC power stage provides a power output that tracks a PCM signal input. A mapping unit generates an integer number of N digital PWM signals each switched at a same switching frequency by switching states of the PWM signals one at a time based on a level of the PCM signal input. An imbalance correction unit adjusts a duty ratio of the PWM signals relative to one another based on differentially accumulating errors among the PWM signals to prevent divergence of PWM signals. N corresponding switches therefrom switch power from a DC power source. N inductances in parallel produce a combined signal that is low pass filtered to provide the power output. Switching is between only those state combinations where the switching frequency is cancelled in the combined signal. The switching frequency is a sampling frequency of the PCM signal input divided by a product of 2 times N.
