    摘要: For minimum pulse generation in a class-D amplifier, a trapezoid switching waveform shape is used to replace the tradition triangle type to generate PWM pulses. Two voltages are compared with a sawtooth wave signal to generate the trapezoid waveform signal and a constant pulse width signal. An audio input signal is compared with the trapezoid waveform signal to generate a pulse width modulation signal, and either the pulse width modulation signal or the constant pulse width signal is used for driving a load at an output of the class-D amplifier. Flexible minimum pulse width could be obtained by offsetting one of the two voltages in generation of the constant pulse width signal.

    摘要: A dual mode charge pump is operable in a first mode or a second mode for providing positive and negative output voltages that can be stabilized by adjusting the charging time of two terminals of a flying capacitor or by adjusting the charging/discharging time of the positive and negative voltage output terminals. The dual mode charge pump can apply to a much wider input supply voltage range with less numbers of power switches, thus requiring less die area and lower costs. Moreover, the dual mode charge pump can precisely define a common mode voltage, thus making the common voltage drift smaller and less load dependent, especially when the output supply voltages are under different load conditions.

    摘要: In a class-D amplifier, the input signal is compared with a carrier signal to generate a basic PWM signal, the PWM signal is then sent to a pulse processing unit, and by comparing with a basic periodic signal, half-width of the output PWM signal is extracted. Then, in the pulse processing unit, the half-width PWM pulse signal is used to generate a complete pulse whose width equals to the output PWM signal. The output power of the class-D amplifier can be kept as large as that by using differential input signals although the input signal is single-end and the entire signal processing path is kept single-ended.

    摘要: In an adaptive leading-edge blanking circuit and method for a switching mode power converter, an inductor current of the converter is sensed and compared with a threshold to decide an end point of a leading-edge blanking time. Circuit and method are further provided for preventing the converter from entering pulse skipping mode, which employs a current trimming circuit in an oscillator for a PWM controller in the converter to reduce a charging current in the oscillator if the output voltage of the converter is excessively high, to thereby reduce the oscillator frequency and in turn lower the switching frequency of a high-side power switch of the converter.

    摘要: A class-D audio amplifier is protected by thermal regulation which decreases the gain of the class-D audio amplifier by asserting an over-temperature signal when the temperature of the class-D audio amplifier is detected to be higher than a threshold. The output of the class-D audio amplifier is therefore reduced by the smaller gain, and the chance for the class-D audio amplifier to stop working due to overheating is greatly reduced.
