Abstract: An amplifier has a dual bridge design with two bridge amplifiers. A mode switch enables them to be configured in a series amplification mode. The switching of the mode switch is dynamic and enables re-use of signal current thereby improving overall system efficiency. A delay to the mode switch closure is provided in the event of clipping of one of the amplifier outputs. This prevents large cross currents from flowing.

Abstract: A current limiter for Class-D amplifiers measures and stores a position of an over-current event. By comparing the stored position, output signals can be selectively inverted. As a result, the Class-D amplifier remains in a defined modulation scheme even during period of current limiting.

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: 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.
