Abstract:
An audio power amplifier includes a pre-amplifier, an error amplifier, a comparator, a bridge circuit, and a feedback circuit, in which the gain of the pre-amplifier gradually increases when the audio power amplifier is powered on. The comparator generates a PWM signal by comparing a reference signal and an amplified audio signal. The bridge circuit has switches controlled according to the PWM signal such that a driving current alternately flows to and from a load. The feedback circuit generates the feedback signal indicating a condition of the load.
Abstract:
A class D audio amplifier includes an error amplifier, a comparator, a bridge circuit, a feedback circuit and a silent start circuit. The error amplifier generates an error signal by amplifying a difference between a feedback signal and an audio input signal. The comparator generates a first pulse width modulation (PWM) signal by comparing a first triangular-wave signal and the error signal. The bridge circuit has switches alternately conducting a current flowing into and from a load. The feedback circuit generates the feedback signal indicating a condition of the load. The silent start circuit performs AND operation of the first PWM signal and a second PWM signal having a gradually increased duty ratio to generate a third PWM signal for control of the switches of the bridge circuit.
