Description

The D class A amplifier A produces the circuit and the method for pwm control signal
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of control circuit, specifically, is the circuit that a kind of D class A amplifier A produces pwm control signal.
Background technology
Switching amplifier, be called the D class A amplifier A again, compare, have the advantage on the efficient and the interests of corresponding generation with class ab ammplifier, its operation principle is to utilize the high frequency modulating method that the input signal of analog or digital is converted to the signal of second order, uses and switches full H bridge or half H bridge switch.The handoff loss of these switches is low, so the efficient of amplifier improves.In known D class A amplifier A, great majority adopt pulse-width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation; PWM) framework, typical message PWMD class A amplifier A between 100KHz to the switching frequency work between the 500KHz, higher switching frequency can further reduce distortion, but can cause lower efficient.Because the D class A amplifier A extends from the switch type power supply structure, therefore the same with the overwhelming majority's exchange type power Management Unit have an electromagnetic interference (Electro-Magnetic Interfering; EMI) problem.
Fig. 1 is the pwm signal of known D class A amplifier A.As shown in Figure 1, one at bridging load (Bridge-Tied-Load; BTL) the D class A amplifier A in the configuration produce two anti-phase pwm signal Out+ and Out-its differential output on, so the amplitude of its differential output (Out+-Out-) is the twice (2Vdd) of the amplitude of pwm signal Out+ or Out-.Because the amplitude of this differential output is big, so the ripple on the load current is also big.This class A amplifier A always needs external choke-condenser filter to remove high frequency switching carrier, but this filter is unfavorable for the miniaturization of circuit volume.In addition, this choke-condenser filter also causes the problem of EMI, and this is because this two anti-phase pwm signal Out+ and Out-produces big EMI interference.For this reason, many people propose the D class A amplifier A that reduces EMI and do not use filter, and for example US 6,614, and 297, US 6,847,257 and US 6,970,123.
Fig. 2 is the sequential chart of known differential input D class A amplifier A.As shown in the figure, the D class A amplifier A of known differential input, differential input signal Vin+ and Vin-compare with sawtooth waveforms carrier Vref respectively, produce two pwm signal PWM+ and PWM-, the two subtracts each other generation output pwm signal OutputPWM, is used for driving the power stage of D class A amplifier A.The amplitude of this output pwm signal Output PWM is identical with the amplitude of pwm signal PWM+ and PWM-, so the ripple on the load current is less.
For differential input D class A amplifier A, input information and power output are designed among the difference of two pwm signal PWM+ and PWM-.As shown in Figure 2, the pulse duration that pwm signal PWM+ or PWM-and 50%duty cycle subtract each other generation is half of output pwm signal OutputPWM, and in other words, the pulse of output pwm signal Output PWM is to the rising edge symmetry of 50%dutycycle.Yet, under identical gain, 1/4th of the D class A amplifier A that uses its power output of D class A amplifier A of single-ended input signal to have only to use complete differential input signal.In known technology, single-ended input signal is always handled through gain stage earlier, is converted into complete differential input signal.Next must use this differential input signal to produce the pwm control signal of ternary or four attitudes, otherwise be to use two anti-phase sawtooth waveforms or triangular signal to produce the pwm control signal of ternary or four attitudes as the carrier signal.
Therefore known D class A amplifier A exist above-mentioned all inconvenience and problem.
