    Abstract: Examples of amplifiers and nth-order loop filters thereof are configured to enable fast and robust recovery from saturation, while limiting signal distortion at or near full power delivery across multiple process and temperature corners. An example nth-order loop filter comprises n series-coupled resistor-capacitor (RC) integrators. In an example, each of the second RC integrator to the (n−1)th RC integrator has a reset mechanism responsive to a reset signal output from a reset controller when an input signal overload condition is detected at the input. Upon detecting the overload condition, each of the third RC integrator to the (n−1)th RC integrator is hard reset, the nth RC integrator is not reset, and a controlled reset is performed on the second RC integrator to recover from saturation caused by the signal overload condition, while maintaining the output signal below the 1% total harmonic distortion (THD) level at or near full power delivery.

    Abstract: A flow meter ultrasonically measures fluid velocity in a pipe. Ultrasonic signals received by ultrasonic transducers are digitized. The difference between two ultrasonic propagation times is determined by computing a discrete cross-correlation of the digitized received signals. Computation time is reduced by computing only a few cross-correlation values near a peak cross-correlation value.

    Abstract: Examples of amplifiers and associated control blocks control analog and digital gains of such an amplifier to maintain a ripple voltage at the input/virtual terminals of an internal integrator below an upper limit. Such an example amplifier comprises digital and analog processing blocks. The digital processing block receives a digital audio signal and also includes a digital gain component. The analog processing block includes an analog gain component and an output stage having a supply voltage terminal. A boost controller receives the digital audio signal, and has a digital output and a boost voltage output to output a boost voltage. A digital controller receives the digital audio signal, and has a first digital input coupled to the digital output of the boost controller and a second digital input to receive a measurement value indicative of the outputted boost voltage. Based on its inputs, the digital controller controls the digital and analog gain components.

    Abstract: A switching amplifier includes: a driver circuit with differential inputs and differential outputs; and a fault detection circuit coupled to the differential outputs. The fault detection circuit includes: a power supply input; and a sense circuit coupled to the differential outputs. The sense circuit includes: a first resistor between the power supply input and a positive output of the differential outputs; a second resistor between the positive output and ground; a third resistor between the power supply input and a negative output of the differential outputs; and a fourth resistor between the negative output and ground. The fault detection circuit also includes an analyzer circuit coupled to the sense circuit and configured to determine a fault location relative to the differential outputs based on an output of the sense circuit.

    Abstract: A multi-channel flow sensing system typically includes first and second flow-sensing transducers arranged in each channel. A data acquisition system is coupled to the first and second transducers of each of the channels. The data acquisition system is arranged to transmit and/or receive a sensing signal from at least one of the first and second transducers of each of the channels. The received sensing signals are sequentially converted and accumulated as data for billing in accordance with the measured flow within each channel. Using common components within the data acquisition system for measuring the various channels reduces costs and increases affordability in cost-sensitive areas.
