Patent documentation 1: the spy opens 2003-204590 communique (specification digest)
Summary of the invention
But, because in above-mentioned D class amplification circuit, the circuit that suppresses sonic boom is set to analog circuit, thus when construction system, must outside this amplifying circuit, prepare to be used to suppress the circuit of sonic boom, thus cost is increased, also limited miniaturization simultaneously.
In addition, because in this D class amplification circuit, the circuit that suppresses sonic boom is an analog circuit, amplifying circuit self starts and stops to need the stipulated time (for example 300ms), so can't easily change from power connection to the time between the startup elementary period that normally begins to move, and from release up to the time between power supply disconnects fully startup tailend, can't start at short notice and stop especially.
The present invention proposes in view of the above problems, its purpose is, a kind of D type amplifier is provided, it is by using digital waveform, thereby prevent sonic boom with simple structure, simultaneously can reduce and realize that manufacturing cost reduces based on miniaturization, number of components, and, realize improving operability and the flexibility when constructing system based on the easiness of wave setting or adjustment.
In order to solve above-mentioned problem, D type amplifier involved in the present invention, it exports the output voltage of the 1st level and these two values of the 2nd level, it constitutes, have: the data generating unit, its sampling period with regulation generates the Wave data of n position, this Wave data is expressed as follows waveform, that is, between the elementary period before will being about to begin to amplify action or just finished to amplify between tailend after the action at least one as given period between, with the level at the center of above-mentioned the 1st level and above-mentioned the 2nd level during as centered level, in between above-mentioned given period, the waveform that level gradually changes between above-mentioned the 1st level and above-mentioned centered level, wherein, said n is a natural number; Selection portion, it is supplied to voice data and above-mentioned Wave data that above-mentioned centered level is the amplitude center, and this selection portion is selected above-mentioned Wave data between above-mentioned given period, select tut data, the line output of going forward side by side during carrying out the action of amplifying action; Noise remove portion, it receives the above-mentioned Wave data of selecting from above-mentioned selection portion, above-mentioned Wave data is applied noise shaping handle and the transform data of generation m position, and wherein, above-mentioned m is for satisfying the natural number of n>m; Pulse-width modulation portion, it carries out pulse-width modulation and generates pulse-width signal above-mentioned transform data; And efferent, it amplifies above-mentioned pulse-width signal with single-ended format, exports above-mentioned output voltage, and above-mentioned data generating unit generates this Wave data in the following manner, that is and, the feasible fundamental frequency that constitutes the waveform of above-mentioned Wave data is in outside the audio-band.
According to the present invention, output voltage rises to the situation of specified level or output voltage drops between the given periods such as situation of level "0" from specified level when stopping from level "0" when starting, the Wave data that can gradually change based on level and generate pulse-width signal.Thus, because this D type amplifier, the output voltage that can suppress output circuit when starting or stoping sharply changes and the noise that produces, simultaneously can be by using digital waveform, and prevent sonic boom with simple structure, and easily set or the change waveform, so can reduce and reduce manufacturing cost based on miniaturization or number of components, the flexibility when realizing improving operability and constructing system based on the easiness of wave setting or adjustment.
In addition, because the fundamental frequency that makes the waveform that constitutes Wave data is outside audio-band, so inhibition sonic boom in can be between given period.Here, audio-band is meant the scope that can be identified sound by people's the sense of hearing, the i.e. frequency band of 20Hz~20kHz.In addition, existing under the situation of distortion in the waveform that constitutes Wave data, also can be that 3 times of high order harmonic component compositions to fundamental frequency are in outside the audio-band with the frequency setting of Wave data.
Above-mentioned D type amplifier has selection portion, it is supplied to voice data and above-mentioned Wave data that above-mentioned centered level is the amplitude center, this selection portion is selected above-mentioned Wave data between above-mentioned given period, select tut data, the line output of going forward side by side during carrying out the action of amplifying action.In the case, because noise remove portion, pulse-width modulation portion and the efferent of use also can use between given period during the action, so can constitute the D type amplifier simply.
In addition, preferably in above-mentioned D type amplifier, the waveform that constitutes above-mentioned Wave data is a cosine waveform, above-mentioned data generating unit, and recurrence formula according to the rules generates above-mentioned Wave data.In the case owing to generate cosine waveform according to recurrence formula, so need be in memory the stored waveform data, can be easily and generate this Wave data with the waveform of low distortion.
In addition, in above-mentioned D type amplifier, preferred above-mentioned noise remove portion, corresponding with the value of above-mentioned Wave data and change the number of times that above-mentioned noise shaping is handled, so that in above-mentioned noise shaping is handled, in insensitive zone, do not carry out computing.So-called insensitive zone is meant that the computing of being handled by noise shaping causes the scope of information dropout, is typically referred to as the scope that underflow or overflow take place by computing.If information dropout then can produce noise in audio-band.On the other hand, the number of times that noise shaping is handled is high more, and just big more with the amplitude of the quantization error amount of transform data stack, insensitive zone becomes big, but the quantizing noise in the low-frequency band reduces.According to the present invention, owing to the corresponding number of times that changes above-mentioned noise shaping processing, so that in insensitive zone, do not carry out computing, so can suppress the noise in the audio-band with the value of above-mentioned Wave data.
In addition, in above-mentioned D type amplifier, preferred above-mentioned noise remove portion, corresponding with the time after the beginning between above-mentioned given period and change the number of times of above-mentioned noise shaping processing, so that in above-mentioned noise shaping processing, in insensitive zone, do not carry out computing.Insensitive zone is corresponding with the value of Wave data and determine, but under the situation that generates fixing Wave data, can be corresponding with the time after the beginning between given period and definite insensitive zone.According to the present invention, even because the value of detection waveform data not, number of times that also can the switching noise shaping is handled by the time is managed simplifies the structure so can make.

Below, use Fig. 2 to Fig. 5 that the cosine wave generative circuit 120 and the generating principle thereof of present embodiment are described.In addition, Fig. 2 is the figure of generating principle that is used to illustrate the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment, and Fig. 4 is the example of block diagram of the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment.In addition, Fig. 3 is the figure of waveform that is used to illustrate the cosine wave data of generation, and Fig. 5 is another example of block diagram of the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment.
Usually, because the D class amplification circuit of single-ended format, the value that need make the output voltage of low pass filter is center amplitude current potential (driving voltage V DD/ 2), so the state that stops from action at this D class amplification circuit (below be called " halted state ") is to the state that starts (below be called " starting state ") or carry out under the situation of state transition to halted state from starting state, need the pwm signal of operation input, the output voltage that makes this low pass filter 190 is from 0[V] to (V DD/ 2) [V] or from (V DD/ 2) [V] is to 0[V] change.
But, the D class amplification circuit of above-mentioned single-ended format, for example make its state when halted state is changed to starting state, pwm signal being switched to duty ratio is square wave pulse of 50% etc., adjust the duty ratio (Duty) of square wave, control is under the situation of the pwm signal of low pass filter 190 input, and the output voltage that can make low pass filter 190 is from 0[V] sharply be changed to (V DD/ 2) [V], and produce noise (so-called sonic boom).This is because the waveform of output voltage has the frequency content of audio-band.
So, the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment, be changed to the timing (between elementary period) of starting state or be changed to the timing (between tailend) of halted state from halted state at the state of D type amplifier 100, generate the cosine wave data from starting state.These cosine wave data, the waveform from 0V along cosine wave rises as shown in Figure 2, at moment t 0Its level reaches V DDAfter/2, keep this level and do not make its decline.Usually, the lower frequency limit of audio-band is 20Hz.Therefore, if be more than or equal to 20Hz, then can hear sonic boom with the frequency setting of cosine wave.
In addition, if the accuracy of waveform of the cosine wave data that generate is lower, then can comprise various high order harmonic component compositions in the waveform of cosine wave data.In addition, the waveform of cosine wave is originally from moment t 0Begin to descend, but, make the waveform of cosine wave data keep V here DD/ 2.Therefore, its difference can cause distortion.If above-mentioned distortion occurs in audio-band, and its level is bigger, then can export the noise that can hear.Usually, the radio-frequency component of distortion produces with the integral multiple of basic wave, and its multiple is big more, and then level is low more.Thus, if must be low more, then can suppress sonic boom more with the cosine wave frequency setting.On the other hand, reach V from 0V DD/ 2 time reduces with the cosine wave frequency and prolongs.That is, the inhibition degree of sonic boom and the length between given period are in a kind of relation of mutual restriction.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the user can be 3Hz, 4Hz, 6Hz or 12Hz with the frequency setting of cosine wave, makes cosine wave generative circuit 120 generate the cosine wave data with assigned frequency.Especially, if owing to the frequency setting with cosine wave is the scope of 3Hz~6Hz, then 3 times of high order harmonic component compositions to basic wave are in outside the audio-band, so can suppress sonic boom effectively.
Specifically, the arithmetic unit that the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment is used by noise shaping constitutes, and generates the cosine wave that obtains according to the recurrence formula shown in the formula 1 as the cosine wave data.Here, " T " represents the sampling period, and " ω " represents angular frequency, the individual sampling of n (n is the integer more than or equal to 0) of " n " expression cosine wave data.
- 1 2 cos ( ω ( n + 1 ) T ) - 1 2 = 2 cos ( ωT ) { - 1 2 cos ( ωnT ) } - { - 1 2 cos ( ω ( n - 1 ) T ) } - 1 2 (formula 1)
Here, the recurrence formula shown in the formula 1.
Usually, as implied above, be " T " if make the sampling period, angular frequency is " ω ", then can make " n " individual sampling y[n of cosine wave] and be formula 2, " n+1 " and " n-1 " individual sampling y[n+1 of cosine wave] and y[n-1] by formula 3 expressions.
Y[n]=cos (ω nT) ... (formula 2)
y[n+1]=cos(ω(n+1)T)
Y[n-1]=cos (ω (n-1) T) ... (formula 3)
In addition,, then become formula 4 if use the addition theorem of trigonometric function to launch this formula 3, if various (formula of " n+1 " and " n-1 " individual sampling y) of calculating formula 4 and, then obtain formula 5.
cos(ω(n+1)T)=cos(ωnT)cos(ωT)-sin(ωnT)sin(ωT)
Cos (ω (n-1) T)=cos (ω nT) cos (ω T)+sin (ω nT) sin (ω T) ... (formula 4)
Cos (ω (n+1) T)=2cos (ω nT) cos (ω T)-cos (ω (n-1) T) ... (formula 5)
Because in this formula 5, the 2cos (ω T) in the 1st on the right is a constant, so can be by this formula 5 based on " n+1 " individual sampling y[n+1] and " n-1 " individual sampling y[n-1] carry out quadrature summation operation, the cosine wave of production 1.On the other hand, be the waveform shown in Fig. 3 (a) (below, be called " basic waveform ") because the recurrence formula shown in the formula 5 produces, so can't be as the waveform of removing sonic boom.Therefore, the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment is for conversion basic waveform shown in Fig. 3 (b), with formula 5 distortion and the waveform shown in the production 1 (below be called " improvement waveform ").
The computing of cosine wave generative circuit 120 execution formulas 5 shown in Figure 4.This cosine wave generative circuit 120 has delay circuit 121-1 and 121-2, adder 122 and 125 and coefficient device 123-1,123-2 and 124.Delay circuit 121-1 and 121-2 have the time-delay of 1 sampling period ω T.Therefore, be n+1 sampling in the dateout of adder 122, promptly during the cos on the left side shown in the formula 5 (ω (n+1) T), the dateout of delay circuit 121-1 is n sampling than n+1 Zao 1 the sampling period ω T of sampling, i.e. cos (ω nT).Because coefficient device 123-1 multiply by constant 2cos (ω T) on the dateout of delay circuit 121-1, so its dateout is 2cos (ω nT) cos (ω T), promptly the right of formula 5 is the 1st.
In addition, because the dateout of delay circuit 121-2 is to make the dateout of delay circuit 121-1 postpone the data of 1 sampling period ω T, be cos (ω (n-1) T) therefore.Because coefficient device 123-2 multiply by coefficient " 1 " with these data, thus its dateout be-cos (ω (n-1) T), consistent with the 2nd on the right of formula 5.Thus, the dateout of adder 122 as mentioned above, and is consistent with the left side of formula 5.Then, owing to multiply by coefficient-0.5 by coefficient device 124, so its dateout is-cos (ω (n+1) T)/2.Because adder 125 adds-0.5 on this dateout, so the dateout of adder 125 is consistent with the left side of formula 1.
In addition, the cosine wave generative circuit 120 of present embodiment is realized its structure according to block diagram shown in Figure 4, but also can be as shown in Figure 5, from β point signal output waveform, rather than exports from the α point.In the case, cosine wave generative circuit 120 is carried out the computing of the recurrence formula that satisfies formula 6.When carrying out computing, need to set initial value according to recurrence formula.Cosine wave generative circuit 120 shown in Figure 5 by read the 1st data and the 2nd data from the memory of storing initial value, with they dateouts as delay circuit 121-1 and 121-2, and generates the 3rd data.For this reason, in side circuit, between adder 122 and coefficient device 124, need selection portion be set, be used to select the dateout of output adder 122 and from the data of memory at outlet side.But cosine wave generative circuit 120 shown in Figure 5 as long as will use as the dateout of delay circuit 121-1 and 121-2 from the 1st data and the 2nd data of memory, has the advantage that can omit selection portion.
- 1 2 cos ( ω ( n - 1 ) T ) - 1 2 = 2 cos ( ωT ) { - 1 2 cos ( ωnT ) } - { 1 2 cos ( ω ( n + 1 ) T ) } - 1 2 (formula 6)
Below, use Fig. 6 to Fig. 9 that the noise shaping device 130 and the operating principle thereof of present embodiment are described.Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are the figure that is used to illustrate the operating principle that the noise shaping of present embodiment is handled, and Fig. 8 is the block diagram of the noise shaping device 130 (L) of expression present embodiment.In addition, Fig. 9 is the table of each coefficient device coefficient of using of the noise shaping device 130 (L) of expression present embodiment.
Usually, it is that data conversion with n (n is a natural number) position is the data of m (m is for satisfying the natural number of n>m) position that noise shaping is handled, and is equally distributed quantizing noise in Qwest's frequency band integral body to reduce in audio-band.For example, pwm signal (64 grades pwm signals) by 6 situations about constituting under, shown in Fig. 6 (a), because from 0[V] to (V DD/ 2) output voltage of the low pass filter of [V] is only stipulated with 32 rank, so when quantizing, can produce noise as quantizing noise in audio-band.Therefore, in order in the data of inputs such as PCM data, to reduce this quantizing noise, must carry out noise shaping and handle.Thus, the distribution of quantizing noise can be transferred to outside the audio-band.
On the other hand, if, then can cause shape information to lose, thereby in audio-band, produce noise contribution owing in the computing that noise shaping is handled, underflow or overflow take place.To be called insensitive zone by the scope that above-mentioned calculation process causes losing the signal level of shape information.Shown in Fig. 6 (b), handle if the data of input such as PCM data are carried out noise shaping, then the output voltage at low pass filter is 0[V] near insensitive zone in, the generation underflow, meeting generted noise in audio-band, and can't bring into play the effect that noise shaping is handled.
Fig. 7 (a) expression characteristic that noise shaping is handled from 1 time to 4 times (below, be also referred to as " noise shaping characteristic ").As shown in the drawing, by improving the number of times that this shaping is handled, can disperse quantizing noise, reduce the low-frequency noise grade in the signal component.But insensitive zone is then along with the number of times that noise shaping is handled increases and enlarges.This be because, number of times is high more as described later, the coefficient that multiplies each other with quantization error is big more.
So the noise shaping device 130 of present embodiment constitutes, between given period, at the 0[V of cosine wave] near switch successively and carry out the number of times of noise shaping when handling, the scope in insensitive zone is suppressed to be irreducible minimum, thereby prevents that noise from taking place.More particularly, the noise shaping device 130 of present embodiment is between elementary period, shown in Fig. 7 (b), from the waveform rising of cosine wave data, the number of times that noise shaping is handled switches to 2 times, 3 times and 4 times successively, suppress radio-frequency component, eliminate the generation in insensitive zone.
The noise shaping device 130 of present embodiment as shown in Figure 8, has: quantizer 131, its data-measuring with 24 are 6 data; And subtracter 132, it deducts 6 dateout from 24 input data that input to quantizer 131, generate the error information of expression quantization error.
In addition, this noise shaping device 130 has: (133-1~133-4), they give the time-delay in 1 sampling period respectively to a plurality of delay circuits to error information; (134-1~134-4), they have the coefficient of regulation to a plurality of coefficient devices 134, will multiply by this coefficient from the data of each delay circuit 133 output; And a plurality of adders 135 (135-1~135-4), they will postpone the error information in 1 sampling period and the data addition of input successively respectively, this noise shaping device 130 switches the coefficient of each coefficient device 134 with predetermined timing or based on the value of Wave data of input.
For example, the noise shaping device 130 of present embodiment as shown in Figure 9, according to 2 times, 3 times and 4 times, based on the value of the Wave data of predetermined timing or input, switches the value of coefficient C0, C1, C2 and the C3 of each coefficient device between elementary period.For coefficient C1, C1=-1 when number of times is 2 times, C1=-3 in the time of 3 times, in the time of 4 times C1=-6 like this, number of times is high more, then the absolute value of coefficient C1 is big more.Therefore, shown in Fig. 7 (b), number of times is high more, and then the amplitude with the error information of original cosine wave data stack is big more.In the figure, the border that switches to 3 times from 4 times is the upper limit in 4 insensitive zones, and the border that switches to 2 times from 3 times is the upper limit in 3 insensitive zones, and the border that switches to the dedicated PWM signal from 2 times is the upper limit in 2 insensitive zones.Owing to as the above-mentioned number of times of handling in the switching noise shaping of the upper limit place in insensitive zone, so can suppress simultaneously to lose and noise that produces in audio-band and the noise that produces along with quantification by shape information.
In addition, the noise shaping device 130 of present embodiment, between tailend in, descending from the cosine wave data begins to carry out 4 noise shapings and handles, and suitably number of times is switched to 3 times, 2 times, 1 time simultaneously and carries out this noise shaping and handle.In addition, Fig. 8 and noise shaping device 130 shown in Figure 9, only be a side passage, be the structure of the noise shaping device 130 (L) of Lch, the noise shaping device 130 (R) of opposite side passage (Rch) also has identical structure.
Below, use Figure 10 and Figure 11 that the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 and the operating principle thereof of present embodiment are described.In addition, Figure 10 is the figure of operating principle that is used to illustrate the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 of present embodiment, and Figure 11 is the example of block diagram of the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 (L) of present embodiment.
Usually, definite method of the output voltage of low pass filter 190 is: if the driving voltage of this low pass filter 190 is made as V DD, be made as t between the high period of pwm signal On, and be made as t between the low period of this pwm signal Off, the output voltage (V of low pass filter 190 then Out) as shown in Equation 7, according to during t OnWith during t OffRatio and determine.
V out = t on t on + t off V DD (formula 7)
Thus, (t between low period Off) and high period between (t On) compare under the very large situation output voltage (V of low pass filter 190 Out) be very little level.In addition, if (t between low period Off) shorten gradually, then duty ratio increases gradually.For example, if make (t between high period On) constant, from (t between the low period shown in Figure 10 (a) Off) be changed to (t between the low period shown in Figure 10 (b) Off), then can make the output voltage (V of low pass filter 190 Out) rise gradually, that is, and the processing of carrying out Yu carrier frequency variation being equal to.
So, the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 of present embodiment, between elementary period from beginning to start to through regulation (moment of 2 times noise shaping is handled underflow taking place also) constantly, or between tailend, stop from regulation (moment of 2 times noise shaping is handled underflow taking place also) to startup constantly, generate the dedicated PWM signal that duty ratio and cosine wave data interlock change.The 2nd switching part 180 replaces the pwm signal by 130 outputs of noise shaping device in this period, and the dedicated PWM signal is exported to drive circuit 170 and low pass filter 190.
Specifically, the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 of present embodiment, shown in Figure 11 (a), be benchmark with the sampling period, (for example with the cosine wave data, in value is the high 13 of timing) addition, under the situation that this additive value overflows, generate dedicated PWM signal with regulation pulsewidth (minimum pulse width), replace pwm signal generating unit 150, and with the pwm signal that generates as the dedicated PWM signal, via the 2nd switching part 180 to drive circuit 170 and low pass filter 190 outputs.
For example, the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 of present embodiment shown in Figure 11 (b), is made of following part: input handling part 161, and its execution input is handled, and is used for the figure place of cosine wave data shaping for stipulating that will import; A plurality of delay circuits 162, they have the time-delay in 1 sampling period; Comparator 163, it will be worth high 13 bit data for positive cosine wave data (below abbreviate " bit data " as) and fiducial value Dref relatively, to export; Adder 164, its each sampling period with the bit data addition; Detection unit 165, it overflows judgement; And generating unit 166, it is based on the result of determination of detection unit 165 and generate the dedicated PWM signal.In addition, a plurality of delay circuits 162 also can be by the D circuits for triggering formation that for example latchs (latch) action by sampled clock signal.
From cosine wave generative circuit 120, make 24 cosine wave data input to input handling part 161, to give up for low 11 of 24 the data that this input handling part 161 will be imported, output is by expression positive and negative sign bit and high 12 bit data of 13 that constitute.
Comparator 163 will by 13 bit data after input handling part 161 shapings and fiducial value Dref relatively when bit data is less than or equal to fiducial value Dref, be exported " 0 ", during greater than fiducial value Dref, exports this bit data in bit data.
Dateout to comparator 163 adds up adder 164 in each sampling period, exports the value that adds up to detection unit 165.In addition, this adder 164 in the case of overflow, resets value, and begins the value from comparator 163 outputs is added up from " 0 " once more.Detection unit 165 judges whether the bit data after the addition overflows in each sampling period, that is, under 13 situation, on the 14th, whether produce carry (whether the 14th become " 1 "), in the case of overflow, generate the dedicated PWM signal to generating unit 166 indications.Generating unit 166 under the situation of the generation indication of having imported the dedicated PWM signal from detection unit 165, generates the pwm signal of regulation pulsewidth, for example has the dedicated PWM signal of minimum pulse width, and to 180 outputs of the 2nd switching part.
In said structure, if bit data greater than fiducial value Dref, just can begin to generate the dedicated PWM signal, be less than or equal in bit data under the situation of fiducial value Dref, then can not generate the dedicated PWM signal.If this is because the duty ratio of dedicated PWM signal is very low, then be heard as noise sometimes.So, when just beginning to generate the cosine wave data, under the very little situation of the value of bit data, stop the generation of dedicated PWM signal and prevent to produce noise.Here, fiducial value Dref is set at following value, that is, under with its situation as the output of dedicated PWM signal, can not be heard as noise.
In addition, in above-mentioned dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160, adder 164 and delay circuit 162-3, work as following unit, promptly, in each sampling period, Wave data is added up and generate cumulative data,, then overflow and the value of cumulative data is reset to 0 if the value of cumulative data surpasses setting.Detection unit 165 and generating unit 166 are overflowed as detection and the unit that the level of the PWM modulation signal in 1 sampling period is set at high level are worked.
In addition, the D type amplifier 100 of present embodiment is because between tailend, the bit data that inputs in the cosine wave data of dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 reduces gradually, so have (t between the high period of Rack On) spacing elongated, can make output voltage (V Out) descend gradually.In addition, dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 shown in Figure 11 only is the structure of the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 (L) of the passage of a side, for example Lch, and the dedicated PWM signal generating unit 160 (R) of opposite side passage also has identical structure.
As mentioned above, the D type amplifier 100 of present embodiment, output voltage rises to the center voltage (V of output voltage from level "0" when starting DD/ 2) under the situation, perhaps when stopping output voltage from center voltage (V DD/ 2) drop under the situation of level "0", can generate pwm signal based on the cosine wave data that level changes.Its result, D type amplifier 100, when the output voltage of control low pass filter 190, by use have the n position of the frequency content outside the audio-band Wave data, be the Wave data of digital waveform, can control the output voltage of low pass filter 190, and Wave data self also is made of the frequency content outside the audio-band.
Its result, the D type amplifier 100 of present embodiment, owing to can be suppressed at when starting or when stopping, the noise that produces along with rapid variation of output voltage of output circuit, by using digital waveform, can prevent sonic boom with simple structure, and can easily set or change waveform simultaneously, so can reduce and reduce manufacturing cost based on miniaturization or number of components, the flexibility when realizing improving operability and constructing system based on the easiness of wave setting and adjustment.
In addition, D type amplifier 100, because by generating cosine waveform according to recurrence formula, can be easily and generate this Wave data with the waveform of low distortion, so also can get rid of the principal element that produces noise by the waveform self of this Wave data.In addition, D type amplifier 100, by data value or time from beginning between given period based on Wave data, the number of times that the switching noise shaping is handled, thereby with this Wave data under the situation of low pass filter 190 output, the output voltage that can prevent to cause this low pass filter 190 by insensitive zone is for negative, and at 0[V] near the generation noise.
