    摘要: A single-stage buffer apparatus includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a high pass filter network. The first transistor is configured to receive an input signal from a microphone. The second transistor is configured to operate as a cascode transistor. The high pass filter network is coupled to the first transistor and the second transistor. The second transistor electrically decouples the first transistor from an output of the single-stage buffer apparatus. A gate terminal of the second transistor is driven by the high-pass filter network, and the high-pass filter network is driven by the first transistor.

    摘要: A class D amplifier receives and amplifies a differential analog signal which is then differentially integrated. Two pulse width modulators generate pulse signals corresponding to the differentially integrated analog signal and two power units generate output pulse signals. The outputs the power units are coupled to input terminals of integrators via a resistor feedback network. An analog output unit converts the pulse signals to an output analog signal. The differential integration circuitry implements a soft transition between mute/un-mute. In mute, the integrator output is fixed. During the soft transition, the PWM outputs change slowly from a fixed 50% duty cycle to a final value to ensure that no pop noise is present in the output as a result of mode change.

    摘要: An integrated circuit may have two signal paths: an open-loop modulator (which may comprise a digital-input Class-D amplifier) and a closed-loop modulator (which may comprise an analog-input Class-D amplifier). A control subsystem may be capable of selecting either of the open-loop modulator or the closed-loop modulator as a selected path based on one or more characteristics (e.g., signal magnitude) of an input audio signal. For example, for higher-magnitude signals, the closed-loop modulator may be selected while the open-loop modulator may be selected for lower-magnitude signals. In some instances, when the open-loop modulator is selected as the selected path, the closed-loop modulator may power off, which may reduce power consumption. In addition, one or more techniques may be applied to reduce or eliminate user-perceptible audio artifacts caused by switching between the open-loop modulator and the closed-loop modulator, and vice versa.

    摘要: Known types of amplifiers include so-called class D amplifiers, which first use a pulse-width modulator to convert an analog signal into a pulse-width modulated switching signal, which is then amplified and subsequently converted back into a continuously variable voltage via a filter. This type of amplifier is particularly energy-efficient and is therefore preferably used for high-power amplifiers. The invention relates to an amplifier device 1 comprising a control device (5), wherein the control device (5) has an input interface for an audio signal (2), and comprising an amplifier unit (9) for amplifying the audio signal (2, 8) downstream of the control device (5), wherein the control device (5) has a delay module (6) that is designed to transmit the audio signal (2), delayed by a delay value delta_t, to the amplifier unit (9) and to automatically and/or autonomously reduce the delay value delta_t from a starting value delta_t to a final value during an adaptation phase AP.
