    摘要: By monitoring the temperature of an LED and the temperature of a controller chip for the LED, a thermal foldback control is employed to gradually decrease the driving current of the LED before the LED or the controller chip is over heated, so as to prevent an over temperature protection from being triggered to shutdown the controller chip to cause the LED to undesirably flicker.

    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.

Thus, the method and apparatus can optimize the dead time and switch the BLDC motor between two phases at a zero-current point, without reducing the maximum rotation speed of the BLDC motor.
