    摘要: A system and method for controlling a power converter is presented. An embodiment comprises an analog differential circuit connected to an analog-to-digital converter, and comparing the digital error signal to at least a first threshold value. If the digital error signal is less than the first threshold value, a pulse is generated to control the power converter. Another embodiment includes multiple thresholds that may be compared against the digital error signal.

    摘要: Circuit and method for a Class D amplifier. In one exemplary embodiment, an audio amplifier is disclosed. A closed loop configuration for driving high and low side driver transistors is provided, each circuit is compatible with advanced sub micron semiconductor processes. The analog time varying input is coupled to one input of a sigma delta analog to digital converter. A feedback signal from the output is also input to the analog to digital converter. A bit stream is output by the analog to digital converter. A decimator receives this bit stream and downconverts the samples to digital values at a lower frequency. A digital filter with adaptable coefficients is used to filter that signal and a digital pulse width modulator then develops an analog differential PWM signal. A predriver inputs the PWM signal and derives the output gating signals to control the high and low side drivers of a Class D amplifier.

The circuit further includes a noise shaper. The noise shaper is configured to truncate the digital output and generate a noise shaper output having a lower number of bits than the digital output, and to shape quantization noise generated during truncation. The circuit further includes a pulse width modulation digital-to-analog converter (PWM DAC). The PWM DAC configured to process the truncated digital output of the noise shaper output and generate a PWM DAC output.

    摘要: A noise shaper that compares an input signal to a feedback output signal, which is a truncated version of the input signal, and generates the difference between the two signals (i.e., the error). The noise shaper then integrates the errors by adding to the error multiple of its delayed versions, and quantizes the integrated errors in such a way that the spectrum of the quantization noise is shaped toward high frequencies to be removed by a LC low-pass filter used in conjunction with the noise shaper. The low frequency content of the desired signal is mostly unaffected.
