    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling the capabilities of an High Definition Audio (HDA) system, wherein the system determines whether an optional component such as a plug-in card is connected to the system and then configures itself in a baseline configuration if the optional component is not connected or configures itself in a different, alternative configuration if the optional component is connected. In one embodiment, a codec of the system includes a programmable processor configured to read configuration authorization information and also read configuration information from the optional component if it is connected to the system. The processor also controls the configuration of the HDA system and the operation of the codec based on the authorization and configuration information. The system can thereby provide different features and functionality using the same hardware.

    摘要: Systems and methods for ensuring proper phase alignment of audio signals which are processed by separate hardware channels in an audio amplification system. In one embodiment, the phase alignment is controlled by determining the number of audio data samples which are stored in the input buffers of multiple audio amplification units and controlling reads from the input buffers to minimize the difference between an actual read-write pointer differential and a target differential. In a master unit, the target differential is a predetermined target value corresponding to a desired delay in the buffer. The actual pointer differential of the master unit is passed to one or more slave units. The actual pointer differential of the master unit is used as the target differential of the slave units. The pointer differentials of the slave units are thereby driven to track the pointer differential of the master unit, keeping the units synchronized.

    摘要: Systems and methods implemented in a switching amplifier for providing consistent, matching switching between top and bottom switching devices in a switching amplifier. One embodiment includes a half-bridge circuit output stage, a driver stage and a transformer. The driver stage, which drives the switches of the output stage, is very fast, has a low propagation delay, and has minimal input capacitance. The transformer drives the drive paths from the transformer inputs to the switches. The transformer avoids resonances within the audio band and at the amplifier switching frequencies, has low and spread free leakage inductance, has enough magnetizing inductance to keep transformer currents low in proportion to the total driver stage current drain, has low core losses at the switching frequency, has minimal inductance change and operates well below its saturation point. The amplifier stage provides a substantially constant amplitude drive signal to the output power switching devices.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting the impedance of an output load coupled to a digital amplifier and compensating for changes in the response of the amplifier. One embodiment of the invention is implemented in a Class D pulse width modulated (PWM) amplifier. In this embodiment, a digital PCM test signal is generated. This test signal is processed by the amplifier to produce a corresponding analog audio output signal that is used to drive a speaker. A sense resistor placed in series with the speaker is used to generate a test voltage that is compared to a reference voltage. When the test voltage reaches the reference voltage, the current through the sense resistor (hence the speaker) is at a known level, so the value of the digital test signal is noted. The impedance of the speaker is then determined from the test signal value and the speaker current.
