    摘要: An audio amplifier is operated in an audio system with optimized source impedance to minimize distortion in a loudspeaker that is paired with the audio amplifier. The audio amplifier provides an amplified audio signal to drive the loudspeaker. A variable output impedance of the audio amplifier is controlled using a feedback control loop to allow negative output impedance at low frequencies that changes to positive output impedance at higher frequencies. The change from negative output impedance to positive output impedance occurs at a determined threshold frequency or determined transitional frequency band.

    摘要: A switching DC to AC power converter includes an automatic zero voltage switching (ZVS) mode controller. The automatic zero voltage switching mode controller may adjust a ZVS dead-time in accordance with a range of load currents being supplied by the power converter that range from quiescent conditions to a predetermined loading level of the power converter. The variable ZVS dead-time may be larger nearer to quiescent conditions, and become progressively smaller as load currents increase. Outside a predetermined range of load currents, the variable ZVS dead-time may be disabled or minimized.

    摘要: An amplifier having improved distortion characteristics is set forth. The amplifier includes an interleaved PWM amplifier that generates interleaved PWM pulses in response to a modified input signal and one or more carrier signals. The interleaved PWM pulses of the amplifier are used to drive a power stage, such as an opposed current power stage. The amplifier also includes an interleaved PWM generator that provides interleaved PWM pulses in response to the modified input signal and one or more further carrier signals. The carrier signals used by the PWM generator may differ in phase from the carrier signals used by the interleaved PWM amplifier to generate its interleaved PWM pulses. One or more feedback circuits are employed in the generation of the modified input signal. More particularly, the feedback circuit(s) generates the modified input signal based on an input signal that is to be amplified and the interleaved PWM pulses of the interleaved PWM generator.

    摘要: A series resonant Dc-DC converter powers an audio amplifier as a load. The series resonant DC-DC converter may include a power input stage, a switching stage, a series resonant stage, a transformer stage and a power output stage. The series resonant DC-DC converter further may include a clamping stage and a leakage inductance canceling stage. The clamping stage may operate to clamp an excess voltage generated at least by a leakage inductance and a parasitic capacitance. The leakage inductance canceling stage may operate to generate a voltage drop corresponding to a voltage drop generated by the leakage inductance. The generated voltage drop may be subject to clamping. The clamping stage may operate under all load conditions without any influence of the leakage inductance. As a result, the series resonant converter may achieve improved load regulation.

    摘要: An amplifier system for a power converter includes at least a first switching device and a second switching device formed in an integrated circuit in a substrate of a semiconductor. The first and second switching devices may be formed in a half bridge configuration and may be cooperatively switchable to generate an amplified output signal on an output node of the semiconductor. A resistor and a capacitor may be coupled in parallel between a power supply input node and a substrate node included in the semiconductor. The capacitor may be selectively charged to a de-biasing voltage during a switching cycle of the first and second switching devices to reverse bias a parasitic switching device appearing in the integrated circuit.
