摘要： Systems and methods for automatically adjusting the alignment of high-side and low-side pulse width modulated signals to improve dead time and shoot-through conditions. In one embodiment, a system includes a digital amplifier controller, an amplifier output stage coupled to the controller and configured to receive audio signals from the controller, and one or more sensors coupled to the output stage. The sensors are configured to detect and/or measure various parameters, such as shoot-through current and distortion, which are associated with the operation of the output stage. The sensors provide feedback to an internal processor or modulator of the controller, which then adjusts the timing of the high-side and low-side signals to improve the operating conditions of the output stage by minimizing shoot-through current and/or distortion.

摘要： Systems and methods for ensuring proper phase alignment of audio signals which are processed by separate hardware channels in an audio amplification system. In one embodiment, the phase alignment is controlled by determining the number of audio data samples which are stored in the input buffers of multiple audio amplification units and controlling reads from the input buffers to minimize the difference between an actual read-write pointer differential and a target differential. In a master unit, the target differential is a predetermined target value corresponding to a desired delay in the buffer. The actual pointer differential of the master unit is passed to one or more slave units. The actual pointer differential of the master unit is used as the target differential of the slave units. The pointer differentials of the slave units are thereby driven to track the pointer differential of the master unit, keeping the units synchronized.

摘要： Systems and methods for over-current protection in all-digital amplifiers using low-cost current sensing mechanisms. An over-current hard clipping unit receives a digital audio signal, clips the signal according to a clip level, and provides the signal to a modulator. The modulator modulates the signal to produce, e.g., a PWM signal and provides the modulated signal to an output stage which generates an output current to drive a speaker. An over-current sensing unit is compares the output current to a threshold value and generates a binary signal indicating whether the output current exceeds the threshold value. The hard clipping unit receives the binary signal and ramps down the clip level during time periods in which the binary signal indicates that the output current exceeds the threshold. When the binary signal indicates that the output current does not exceed the threshold value, the hard clipping unit ramps up the clip level.

The nonlinear function generator receives a first signal and outputs a second signal in dependence on the first signal and a transfer function of the nonlinear function generator. The filter is fed in dependence on the second signal output by the nonlinear function generator. The first signal received by the nonlinear function generator is derived in dependence on an input signal provided to an input of the LDC unit and an output of the filter. An output of the LDC unit is derived in dependence on the first signal received by the nonlinear function generator and the second signal output by the nonlinear function generator.
