摘要: A system includes a class D amplifier and a current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) directly connected to the class D amplifier. The system also includes a common mode servo circuit coupled to a node interconnecting the current steering DAC to the class D amplifier. The common servo circuit amplifies a difference between a common mode signal determined from the node and a reference voltage and generates a feedback current to the node based on the amplified difference. A feed-forward common-mode compensation circuit is included to reduce an alternating current (AC) ripple from the class D amplifier. The feed-forward common-mode compensation circuit includes first and second resistors coupled to respective outputs of the class D amplifier. A current mirror is coupled to the first and second resistors and is configured to sink a current from the node to ground that approximates a common mode feedback current of the class D amplifier.

摘要: A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit includes a pair of output stages, each including a DAC configured to convert a digital audio signal into an analog audio signal. A low-pass filter circuit includes an operational amplifier in signal communication with the DAC. The operation amplifier generates a filtered analog signal based on the analog audio signal. An amplifier network generates an amplified audio signal based on the filtered analog signal. The operational amplifier includes a feedback circuit path including a first node connected to the output of the amplifier network and a second node connected to the input of the operational amplifier. The amplifier network is electrically nested in the feedback circuit path.

摘要: An open-loop switch-mode boost converter includes a switching signal generator circuit that receives a time-varying input signal and outputs a switching signal. A duty-cycle of the switching signal has a first non-linear relationship to an amplitude of the time-varying input signal. An amplifier receives the switching signal and outputs a time-varying output signal, an amplitude of which has a second non-linear relationship to the duty-cycle of the switching signal. The time-varying output signal has a linear relationship to the time-varying input signal based on the first non-linear relationship and the second non-linear relationship. A filter circuit receives the time-varying output signal and outputs a filtered time-varying output signal which has a maximum frequency component that is substantially the same as a maximum frequency component of the time-varying input signal. The switching signal generator circuit is communicatively isolated from the voltage output node and the filter output node.

摘要: A multifinger transistor in which source fingers (201 to 206) and drain fingers (301 to 305) are arranged alternately with each of gate fingers (101 to 110) being sandwiched between one of the source fingers and one of the drain fingers is used. Line (10) and line (20) are attached to the source fingers (201 to 206) in an area on a gate side and causing a phase rotation such that the nearer to a central part a gate finger is, the more inductive the gate finger is.

摘要: A class-D amplifier includes a loop filter, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit, an output circuit, and a common-mode control circuit. The loop filter receives an input signal of the class-D amplifier to generate a filtered signal. The PWM circuit converts a non-PWM signal into a PWM signal, wherein the non-PWM signal is derived from at least the filtered signal. The output circuit generates an output signal of the class-D amplifier according to the PWM signal. The common-mode control circuit monitors a common-mode level of the output signal to generate a common-mode control signal for PWM common-mode control.

摘要: An amplifier may include a first stage configured to receive an input signal at an amplifier input and generate an intermediate signal which is a function of the input signal, and a final output stage configured to generate an output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal at an amplifier output, and a signal feedback network coupled between the amplifier output and input. The final output stage may be switchable among a plurality of modes including at least a first mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as a modulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal, and a second mode in which the final output stage generates the output signal as an unmodulated output signal which is a function of the intermediate signal. Control circuitry may reduce audio artifacts associated with switching between modes.
