    Abstract: A circuit includes a filter, a comparator, and converter. A first input of the comparator couples to the output of the filter. A second input of the comparator is configured to receive ramp signal. An input of the converter couples to the output of the comparator. The circuit also includes a dual minimum pulse generator having an input coupled to the output of the converter. The dual minimum pulse generator is configured to, responsive to an input pulse on the input of the dual minimum pulse generator having a pulse width less than a predetermined delay time period, generate a pulse on the first output of the dual minimum pulse generator that has a pulse width equal to a sum of the pulse width of the input pulse and the predetermined delay time period. A driver is coupled to the output of the dual minimum pulse generator.

    Abstract: A circuit comprises a sensing resistor with a resistance Rs, a first amplifier circuit with a first gain factor G, a second amplifier circuit with a second gain factor (1/A), a third amplifier circuit, a current mirror, a buffer, and a peak voltage detector. The first amplifier circuit is coupled to the sensing resistor at a first node and a second node and to the second amplifier circuit, which is further coupled to the current mirror. The buffer is coupled to the current mirror and to the third amplifier circuit, which is further coupled to the peak voltage detector and configured to receive a voltage across a load and a voltage on a ground node. In some implementations, the load is a speaker. In some implementations, a filter is coupled between the first and the second amplifier circuits.

    Abstract: A system includes a class D amplifier and a current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) directly connected to the class D amplifier. The system also includes a common mode servo circuit coupled to a node interconnecting the current steering DAC to the class D amplifier. The common servo circuit amplifies a difference between a common mode signal determined from the node and a reference voltage and generates a feedback current to the node based on the amplified difference. A feed-forward common-mode compensation circuit is included to reduce an alternating current (AC) ripple from the class D amplifier. The feed-forward common-mode compensation circuit includes first and second resistors coupled to respective outputs of the class D amplifier. A current mirror is coupled to the first and second resistors and is configured to sink a current from the node to ground that approximates a common mode feedback current of the class D amplifier.
