    摘要: A charge pump power supply for a consumer device audio power stage has an efficiency selected according to signal level. The frequency of operation of the charge pump and/or the effective size of a switching transistor bank is adjusted based upon a volume (gain) setting, or a detected signal level, so that internal power consumption of the charge pump is reduced when high output current is not required from the audio power stage and consequently from the charge pump. Operating modes of the charge pump are selected by the signal level indication and include at least a high power and a high efficiency mode selected by setting the charge pump operating frequency and/or enabling or disabling switching of one or more of multiple parallel transistors used to implement each switching element of the charge pump, thereby setting the level of gate capacitance being charged/discharged by the gate driver circuit(s).

    摘要: A voltage reference circuit provides a precision voltage reference output without requiring a filter capacitor. The voltage reference output is generated by a digitally-controlled source, which has a value set by the output of a digital filter that filters the output of a comparison circuit that compares the voltage reference output to another reference. A selectable mode can be provided to provide a fast response during a startup/reset period and an optional hold or narrowband response after startup. The mode selection may also offer selection of an externally-supplied digital control value and/or a resistor divider type voltage reference as an alternative to the digitally-controlled source.

    摘要: An energy-efficient consumer device audio power output stage provides improved battery life and reduced power dissipation. A power supply having a selectable operating mode supplies the power supply rails to the power amplified output stage. The operating mode is controlled in conformity with the audio signal level, which may be determined from a volume control setting of the device and/or from a signal level detector that determines the amplitude of the signal being amplified. The power supply may be a charge pump in which the operating mode uses a capacitive divider to provide for selection of a power supply output voltage that is a rational fraction of the power supply output voltage in a full-voltage operating mode.

    摘要: A charge pump power supply for an audio power amplifier integrated circuit has an operating mode selected according to an indication of operating environment and/or a process position of the integrated circuit. The operating mode selects the output voltage provided by the charge pump and may also select efficiency by selecting a frequency of operation of the charge pump and/or the effective size of a switching transistor bank. The selection is made in conformity with an indication of a process position of the integrated circuit and/or an indication of an environment of the integrated circuit, such as temperature, power supply voltage and/or load impedance values, and generally also in conformity with a volume (gain) setting, or a detected signal level, so that internal power consumption of the amplifier and charge pump is reduced when a high signal level is not being reproduced at the audio power stage.

    摘要: A method of sampling an input signal in a delta-sigma modulator having at least an integrator stage and a feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) stage includes sampling an input signal at a sampling rate by alternately utilizing the two sampling capacitors during two sampling cycles such that the two sampling capacitors are each being utilized at half the rate of the sampling rate. Samples from the two sampling capacitors are summed at the sampling rate at an intermediate node with a feedback samples provided by the feedback DAC stage at the sampling rate to generate output samples which are output from integrator stage at the sampling rate.
