摘要:
A method and apparatus for a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal (30, 130) is provided. The input is a digital signal which is a modulated signal (24, 124). In the illustrated form, the modulated input signal is either a PDM signal or a PCM signal. In one embodiment of the present invention a PCM to PWM converter (16, 116) includes correction of duty ratio circuitry (48). The methodology used may include recursion on the values obtained after prediction, interpolation, and correction. The digital to analog conversion system (10) uses a PDM to PWM converter (20) which operates in an all digital domain and includes no analog circuitry.

A switching amplifier (15) includes a power stage (18) and a digital correction circuit (16). The digital correction circuit (16) is for correcting nonlinearity and power supply noise introduced into a digital signal during power stage amplification. The digital correction circuit (16) receives a digital pulse modulated input signal from a processor (14) and an amplified pulse modulated output signal from the power stage (18), and performs a discrete-time pulse edge correction on the digital pulse modulated input signal to provide a corrected digital pulse modulated signal. The corrected digital pulse modulated signal is used as an input for the power stage (18).

A closed loop audio amplifier system and method of powering up/down the system without producing audible artifacts are provided. During power up, a prebias voltage is provided to each output connected to a speaker to increase the voltage to a nominal output level. High impedance switches are then driven at a 50% duty cycle. Feedback from the output is supplied to a servo, which is enabled to fine tune the output voltage. Low impedance switches are then driven at a 50% duty cycle at a quarter cycle timing. The order of the feedback loop depends on which of the high or low impedance switches are driven. The prebias voltage is then removed before audio signals to be amplified are supplied to the system. Timing of driving of the switches is programmable. To power down, essentially the reverse sequence is provided.

A switching amplifier drives a load or audio transducer. A digital integral noise shaping circuit converts a digital input such as audio content to an output digital pulse width modulated signal using an integrator. The integrator integrates the digital input, a variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal and an inverse of the output digital pulse width modulated signal. A half bridge amplifier receives the output digital pulse width modulated signal and drives the load or audio transducer. A variable frequency generator generates the variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal with an approximately equal duty ratio or alternatively varies the variable frequency pulse width modulated signal above and below about a fifty percent duty ratio.

摘要:
A switching audio amplifier circuit drives a switching audio amplifier stage using a digital PWM signal from an audio source. A PWM duty ratio modifier modifies an edge timing of the digital PWM signal to produce a modified digital PWM signal. A mode switch switches between the digital PWM signal and the modified digital PWM signal in a way that masks audible noise such as clicks and pops at power-up and power-down of the switching audio amplifier. An integrating error amplifier compares a difference between the digital PWM signal and an amplified PWM signal and integrates the difference to control the edge timing modified by the PWM duty ratio modifier. A mode controller can apply an offset signal to the integrating error amplifier and can control the switching of the mode switch.

A circuit (104, 106) includes a comparison circuit (202, 504, 506, 602) and a correction circuit (204, 508, 510, 604). The comparison circuit provides a comparison signal (212, 524, 526, 612) in response to an error value (210, 520, 522, 610) and a reference value (214). The error value is based on a pulse modulated input signal (114) and a pulse modulated output signal (118). The correction circuit asynchronously provides a corrected pulse modulated signal (116) by selectively delaying and advancing an edge of the pulse modulated input signal based on the comparison signal. The pulse modulated output signal is based on the corrected pulse modulated signal.
