摘要:
A digital to analog converter including an input for receiving an input signal, a ramp generator, and a delta-sigma modulator responsive to the input signal and an output of the ramp generator. An order of a noise shaping transfer function of the delta-sigma modulator is response to a level of the output of the ramp generator.

A thermal sensor at the output of a switching amplifier senses heat dissipation at the output switch. If an overheating condition is sensed, gain of the digital input signal is lowered to reduce output power of the audio output signal.

Power-up and power-down transient suppression are provided for an audio digital-to-analog converter with a single ended output to prevent annoying pops which accompany switching an audio system on and off. Power-up suppression is achieved by driving the output of a pulse-width circuit to a reference level such as around, and driving the pulse-width circuit gradually to its quiescent (zero signal) value. Power-down suppression is provided by using a positive feedback amplifier to accelerate current drain initiated by a constant current source used to bleed off the charge on output capacitor. The techniques disclosed apply readily to the outputs received from CDs, CD-ROMs, DAT and other digital recording media.

Mode detection circuitry includes first detection circuitry which detects the presence of a first input signal selectively presented at a first terminal for a first selected time duration and, in response, selectively generating a first control signal indicative of a first mode. Second detection circuitry detects the presence of a second input signal selectively presented at a second terminal for a second selected time duration and, in response, selectively generating a second control signal indicative of a second mode. Control circuitry configures the second terminal as an output terminal in the first mode and as an input terminal in the second mode in response to the first and second control signals.
摘要:
A gain control at the input monitors an input signal and a supply voltage, which drives an output. The gain control adjusts the gain to compress the input signal when the supply voltage decreases in magnitude and/or the input signal is of such magnitude to cause the supply voltage to decrease.

摘要:
A system for suppressing transient noise in switched-mode amplifier systems is disclosed. An amplifier, for amplifying a signal from a digital signal source includes a first complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) pair. A common node of the pair is serially coupled to an output node of the amplifier by a resistor. The first MOSFET pair is configured to drive a ramp on the output node of the amplifier.
