    摘要: Systems and methods for minimizing performance degradation due to component mismatch in the feedback path of a digital PWM amplifier feedback loop. One embodiment comprises a digital pulse width modulated (PWM) amplifier with feedback. The amplification subsystem receives a digital audio signal and produces an analog output signal. The feedback loop produces a feedback signal based on the filtered analog output signal and modifies the digital audio signal based on the feedback signal. The feedback loop includes a filter configured to filter the analog output signal and correction circuitry configured to correct component mismatch errors introduced by the filter. In one embodiment, the correction circuitry receives a measurement of a power supply voltage, multiplies the measured voltage by a gain and adds the scaled measurement to the feedback signal to correct for the component mismatch errors.

    摘要: Systems and methods for scaling the number of output channels that can be provided in an audio amplification system. In one embodiment, a digital pulse width modulation (PWM) amplification system includes multiple four-channel PWM controller chips that are interconnected to enable synchronization and transfer of digital audio data from one chip to another. Input audio signals received by each of the channels are processed by sample rate converters to generate internal audio signals that have a predetermined sample rate and format. Each of the channels is synchronized so that the internal audio signal of each channel can be processed and output by any of the other channels. The PWM controller chips are connected by a high-speed interconnect that enables the transfer of data between them. Each input audio signal can be mapped to any of the outputs and can be mixed with other input signals.
