    摘要: A capacitively coupled chopper instrumentation amplifier includes: an input chopper unit, configured to chop a differential input signal based on a clock signal to generate a chopped differential input signal; an output chopper unit, configured to chop a differential output signal based on the clock signal to generate a chopped differential output signal; a capacitor feedback network, configured to convert a differential difference of the chopped differential output signal and the chopped differential input signal to generate a differential feedback signal by a switching capacitor division voltage method with the input chopper unit and the output chopper unit; and a fully differential amplifier, which is configured to amplify the differential feedback signal to generate a differential output signal; wherein, in an initial period after the input chopper unit receives a differential input signal, the capacitively coupled chopper instrumentation amplifier prevents an output saturation by reducing a gain.

    摘要: This application relates to amplifier circuitry, in particular class-D amplifiers, operable in open-loop and closed-loop modes. An amplifier (300) has a forward signal path for receiving an input signal (SIN) and outputting an output signal (SOUT) and a feedback path operable to provide a feedback signal (SFB) from the output. A feedforward path provide a feedforward signal (SFF) from the input and a combiner (105) is operable to determine an error signal (ε) based on a difference between the feedback signal and the feedforward signal. The feedforward comprises a compensation module (201) configured to apply a controlled transfer function to the feedforward signal in the closed-loop mode of operation, such that an overall transfer function for the amplifier is substantially the same in the closed-loop mode of operation and the open-loop mode of operation.

    摘要: A two-stage differential amplifier with cross-coupled compensation capacitors. The differential amplifier includes first amplifier circuitry receiving a differential input voltage and presenting first and second intermediate outputs. The amplifier further includes a second amplifier stage with a first leg having an input coupled to the second intermediate output of the first amplifier circuitry, and a second leg having an input coupled to the first intermediate output of the first amplifier circuitry. A compensation capacitor is provided for each leg of the second amplifier stage, each coupled between the output of that amplifier leg and its input. A first cross-coupled capacitor is coupled between the output of the first amplifier leg to the input of the second amplifier leg, and a second cross-coupled capacitor is coupled between the output of the second amplifier leg and the input of the first amplifier leg.

    摘要: An acoustic apparatus includes a class-D amplifier including a current feedback circuit, and a speaker system including a voice coil driven by the class-D amplifier. The speaker system is configured such that, in a case where the speaker system is driven by an ordinary amplifier having a first output resistance lower than a second output impedance of the class-D amplifier, a Q factor of the speaker system falls below a predetermined lower limit of an ordinary Q factor range of an ordinary speaker system. The current feedback circuit is configured to increase the second output impedance of the class-D amplifier by feeding a current flowing to the voice coil back to an input of the class-D amplifier so as to increase a Q factor as the acoustic apparatus higher than the predetermined lower limit of the ordinary Q factor range and within the ordinary Q factor range.
