    Abstract: A gain calibration controller and gain calibration method is described for calibrating the gain of a class D audio amplifier comprising an adjustable gain stage and a feedback path coupled to an output of a reconstruction filter. The gain calibration controller detects a first output noise level in a first frequency range and a second output noise level in a second higher frequency range, varies the gain of the adjustable gain stage, determines a minimum stable gain value of a stable gain range from a change in at least one of the first and second output noise level in response to varying the gain of the adjustable gain stage, and determines a maximum stable gain value of the stable gain range from a change in at least one of the first and second output noise level in response to varying the gain of the adjustable gain stage.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of load detection for an audio amplifier system is described. A load detector includes a first load terminal and a second load terminal; a controller coupled to the first and second load terminals and configured to in a first control loop, vary a first current supplied to a first load terminal dependent on the difference between a first reference signal and the detected first load terminal voltage; and in a second control loop, vary a second current supplied to the second load terminal dependent on the difference between a second reference signal and the detected second load terminal voltage; and to determine a current through a load connected between the first load terminal and the second load terminal from the second current value, and a voltage across the load from the detected voltage difference between the first load terminal voltage and the second load terminal voltage.

    Abstract: Aspects are directed to an amplifier circuit including a signal processing circuit and a calibration circuit. In certain specific embodiments, the signal processing circuit includes a signal combiner and a closed-loop feedback path, and the signal processing circuit is designed to provide a loop transfer function for a derived signal partly representing contributions from an audio input signal, a control or pilot signal having a target frequency range, and a calibration signal. The signal combiner is designed to combine aspects of the control or pilot signal and aspects of the audio input signal, and the calibration circuit is designed to adjust an effective gain of the derived signal in response to whether a unity-gain frequency of a signal in the closed-loop feedback path, as provided via the loop transfer function, is higher or lower than the target frequency range. Consistent therewith and in yet more specific embodiments, such an amplifier circuit can define the target frequency range relative to the transfer function and an associated unity-gain frequency.
