    摘要: An audio amplifier (100) switches between a pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) mode to an analog mode when required in order to reduce unwanted EMI when the signals being reproduced fall within a predetermined threshold range such as when reproducing low amplitude signals. Amplifier (100) includes both a pulsewidth-modulator (114) and a low-level analog amplifier (126) coupled to a speaker bridge circuit. When controller (106) determines that the input signal (102) is at a predetermined level, controller (106) selectively applies to the load (164) an analog signal instead of the PWM signal, this provides for improved dynamic range and reduced amplifier produced EMI.

    摘要: A frequency generation unit is provided that permits a receiver to tune from channel to channel without cycle skipping and in which compensation for phase offset introduced during tuning is provided. The frequency generation unit includes a fractional-N synthesizer, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The fractional-N synthesizer generates frequencies from the VCO as well as a temperature controlled crystal oscillator. Outputs from the fractional-N synthesizer are supplied both the VCO and the DDS to control the VCO and DDS. The combination of the voltage controlled oscillator and fractional-N synthesizer is perpetually locked. The fractional-N synthesizer is maintained in a locked condition. The VCO output is provided to the DDS. An output from the DDS or from the fractional-N synthesizer forms the output signal of the frequency generation unit.

    摘要: A system and method for clock data recovery for programming direct digital synthesizers is disclosed. A counter is used to calculate a coarse measurement of the clock frequency of a received digital signal, and a tap delay line is used to calculate a fine measurement of the clock frequency of the received digital signal. The coarse and fine measurements are used to calculate a value for programming a direct digital synthesizer to produce a clock signal that is an approximate replica of the clock frequency of the received digital signal.

    摘要: Improvement of quantization errors that arise in a delay line with finite resolution. A direct digital synthesizer (DDS), which contains a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) and a digital-to-phase converter (DPC), is placed in the feedback loop of a phase locked loop (PLL). The DDS is used as a fractional divider of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency, such that the reference frequency of the DDS is made variable. Alignment of the edges provided by the DDS delay line may then be adjusted. Mismatch errors in the DDS delay line are reduced by utilizing independently tunable delay elements.
