A closed loop audio amplifier system and method of powering up/down the system without producing audible artifacts are provided. During power up, a prebias voltage is provided to each output connected to a speaker to increase the voltage to a nominal output level. High impedance switches are then driven at a 50% duty cycle. Feedback from the output is supplied to a servo, which is enabled to fine tune the output voltage. Low impedance switches are then driven at a 50% duty cycle at a quarter cycle timing. The order of the feedback loop depends on which of the high or low impedance switches are driven. The prebias voltage is then removed before audio signals to be amplified are supplied to the system. Timing of driving of the switches is programmable. To power down, essentially the reverse sequence is provided.

A switching audio amplifier circuit drives a switching audio amplifier stage using a digital PWM signal from an audio source. A PWM duty ratio modifier modifies an edge timing of the digital PWM signal to produce a modified digital PWM signal. A mode switch switches between the digital PWM signal and the modified digital PWM signal in a way that masks audible noise such as clicks and pops at power-up and power-down of the switching audio amplifier. An integrating error amplifier compares a difference between the digital PWM signal and an amplified PWM signal and integrates the difference to control the edge timing modified by the PWM duty ratio modifier. A mode controller can apply an offset signal to the integrating error amplifier and can control the switching of the mode switch.

A circuit (104, 106) includes a comparison circuit (202, 504, 506, 602) and a correction circuit (204, 508, 510, 604). The comparison circuit provides a comparison signal (212, 524, 526, 612) in response to an error value (210, 520, 522, 610) and a reference value (214). The error value is based on a pulse modulated input signal (114) and a pulse modulated output signal (118). The correction circuit asynchronously provides a corrected pulse modulated signal (116) by selectively delaying and advancing an edge of the pulse modulated input signal based on the comparison signal. The pulse modulated output signal is based on the corrected pulse modulated signal.

A switching amplifier drives a load or audio transducer. A digital integral noise shaping circuit converts a digital input such as audio content to an output digital pulse width modulated signal using an integrator. The integrator integrates the digital input, a variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal and an inverse of the output digital pulse width modulated signal. A half bridge amplifier receives the output digital pulse width modulated signal and drives the load or audio transducer. A variable frequency generator generates the variable frequency reference pulse width modulated signal with an approximately equal duty ratio or alternatively varies the variable frequency pulse width modulated signal above and below about a fifty percent duty ratio.

A method for full bridge integral noise shaping comprises: receiving a first and a second reference PWM signal; summing the first and second reference PWM signals with a quantization error correction; quantizing the sum into a first and a second output PWM signal; differentially integrating the first and second reference PWM signals and the first and second output PWM signals according to a full bridge integral noise shaping algorithm to obtain the quantization error correction. An apparatus for performing a full bridge integral noise shaping quantization of a pulse modulated signal, includes: a single-ended to differential conversion circuit; and a full bridge INS quantizer circuit, coupled to the single-ended to differential conversion circuit.

A transceiver mitigates signal leakage into a receive path from a transmit path. A subtraction circuit determines a difference between a receive signal and a compensation signal to produce a compensated receive signal prior to demodulation by a demodulator. An equalizer both amplitude adjusts and phase adjusts orthogonal baseband transmit signals based on the difference from the subtraction circuit to produce the compensation signal. A digital tuning circuit determines at least one amplitude adjust coefficient to be used by the equalizer. The equalizer can have a polarity switch or a variable attenuator or a variable delay.
