    摘要: A technique to implement removal of dead time control circuitry from the back-end of a digital switching amplifier system 100 and add dead time control circuitry on the front-end digital modulator chip. The front-end dead time control circuitry adaptively adjusts timing of the output PWM control signals 124 to optimize performance and power consumption, i.e. operate with minimum dead time for all transitions. The front-end dead time control circuitry controls all propagation delays associated with the digital switching amplifier system 100.

    摘要: A digital audio system including a digital audio amplifier with reduced AM interference. The digital audio amplifier includes a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) processor in which a digital datastream is upsampled by an interpolation filter. A sample rate converter resamples the upsampled datastream to produce a datastream at a converted sampling frequency, or PWM frame rate. The converted datastream is then applied to pulse-width-modulation circuitry which generates a PWM signal at the PWM frame rate. The sample rate converter resamples according to a sample rate conversion ratio associated with the AM tuned frequency. For example, the sample rate conversion ratio can be selected so that the PWM frame rate and its lower harmonics avoid an AM tuned frequency, any intermediate frequency in the AM tuner, and also an image frequency in the tuner.

    摘要: In an embodiment of the invention, the voice coil of an electro dynamic transducer is protected against thermal overload by estimating the temperature of a magnet in the electro dynamic transducer. When a power limit based on the temperature of the magnet and on a predetermined voice coil temperature limit is reached by an audio signal, the power applied to the voice coil is reduced.

    摘要: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a high performance analog charge pumped phase locked loop (PLL)(10) with process and temperature compensation in closed loop bandwidth. The PLL reduces the variation in bandwidth and stability by making the product KVCO*ICP independent of process and temperature variation. The PLL achieves a higher performance than existing PLL architectures, achieving a high dynamic range up to at least 110 dB, such that a PWM class-D amplifier is realizable with this PLL. The PLL has a constant bandwidth and damping factor while using an analog charge pump (16).

    摘要: A digital audio processor (20) is disclosed, in which digital filter coefficients associated with a plurality of sampling frequencies are stored in a plurality of coefficient memory banks (55). A controller in the digital audio processor (20) selects one of the coefficient memory banks (55) for use in the digital signal processing channels (44). In a manual mode, this selection is in response to a manual selection entry in a bank control register (41). In an automatic mode, indicated by a specific entry in the bank control register (41), sample rate detector circuitry (54) detects the sampling frequency relative to an external reference, such as a crystal (XTL); the appropriate one of the coefficient memory banks (55) is then selected based on sampling frequency associations stored in rate select register (43) in the controller (40).

    摘要: A class AD audio amplifier system (10) with DC output detection logic (26) is disclosed. The amplifier system (10) includes multiple audio channels (20), each of which includes a pulse-width-modulator (PWM) (24). The DC detection logic (26) includes a sigma-delta modulator (60) and a digital low-pass filter (62) that monitors the PWM output signals from the PWM modulators (24). The sigma-delta modulator (60) operates at a first clock frequency, while the low-pass filter (62) operates at a much lower clock frequency, so that AC audio components, PWM harmonics, and sigma-delta quantization error is suppressed from the DC detection. The modulated filtered signal is compared against a threshold level (THRSH) to determine whether the amplitude of a DC component at the PWM output is sufficiently high to constitute a fault. If so, a fault detection signal (DC_DET) is issued, and the PWM modulators (24) are disabled to prevent unsafe conditions in the system (10).

    摘要: A signal converting system is described that has a multi-segment digital to analog converter coupled to one or more error shaping loops. Each error shaping loop includes a quantizer with a feedback loop configured to generate a control signal responsive to a stream of symbols and to an error signal. Each error shaping loop also includes an inter-symbol-interference (ISI) shaping loop coupled to receive the control signal and to produce an ISI portion of the error signal that is responsive to inter-symbol transition rate.
