In the present embodiment, load 190 can be that the earphone that is coupled to audio signal output device 100, sound equipment or audio-visual group are put the devices such as device.In one embodiment, because user may more can change the equipment such as earphone or sound equipment, therefore, the resistance value of load 190 may change.
Fig. 2 be in Fig. 1 voltage-regulating circuit 140 one embodiment simplify after functional block diagram.In the embodiment of Fig. 2, voltage-regulating circuit 140 includes generating circuit from reference voltage 220, subtraction circuit 240, threshold value generation circuit 260 and comparison circuit 280.In order to make drawing concisely be easy to explanation, other elements and the annexation of voltage-regulating circuit 140 are not illustrated in Fig. 2.
Generating circuit from reference voltage 220 can use the circuit framework such as charge pump circuit (charge pump), band-gap circuit (bandgap circuit), current source circuit and voltage source circuit to implement, and power supply signal Vdd and Vss are set to one of them of one or more signal values respectively.For example, in one embodiment, power supply signal Vdd can be set to the signal values such as 5 volts, 4 volts and 2.5 volts, and power supply signal Vss can be set to the signal values such as 0 volt, 0.5 volt and 1.5 volts.In another embodiment, power supply signal Vdd can be set to the signal values such as 5 volts, 4 volts and 2.5 volts, and power supply signal Vss is only set to 0 volt.In another embodiment, power supply signal Vdd is only set to 5 volts, and power supply signal Vss can be set to the signal values such as 0 volt, 1 volt and 2 volts.
Subtraction circuit 240 is coupled to generating circuit from reference voltage 220 and load 190, and can according to power supply signal Vdd and Vss at least one of them and according to exporting the output signal Vout of load 190 to, and produce one or more difference signal dV.For example, subtraction circuit 240 can produce difference signal dV according to the lowest difference distance between power supply signal Vdd and output signal Vout, produce difference signal dV according to the lowest difference distance between power supply signal Vss and output signal Vout, produce difference signal dV according to the smaller of above-mentioned two lowest difference distances, or export above-mentioned both or three simultaneously and produce multiple difference signals.Subtraction circuit 240 can use the modes such as one or more comparison circuits, error amplifier, logical circuit, active member and/or passive device to implement, to produce difference signal dV.
Threshold value produces circuit 260 in order to produce one or more threshold signal Vth, and threshold value produces circuit 260 and can use the circuit frameworks such as charge pump circuit, band-gap circuit, current source circuit and voltage source circuit to implement.For example, threshold value produces circuit 260 and can use register to store required numerical value, and passes through D/A conversion circuit and produce required threshold signal Vth.
Comparison circuit 280 is coupled to threshold value and produces circuit 260 and subtraction circuit 240, in order to produce control signal Vc according to difference signal dV and threshold signal Vth, produces suitable power supply signal Vdd and Vss to control generating circuit from reference voltage 220.Comparison circuit 280 can use there is postiive gain, the circuit framework such as the comparison circuit of negative gain or tool gain implements, to export the control signal Vc of numeral and/or simulation value.
For example, in one embodiment, threshold value produces circuit 260 can produce first threshold signal Vth1 and Second Threshold signal Vth2.In the time that difference signal dV is greater than first threshold signal Vth1, represents that the difference signal dV between output signal Vout and power supply signal Vdd (or power supply signal Vss) is too large, and can cause the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit 120 not good.Therefore, comparison circuit 280 can produce control signal Vc according to difference signal dV and first threshold signal Vth1, so that being set, generating circuit from reference voltage 220 reduces the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and/or the signal value of rising power supply signal Vss, and use lower power supply signal Vdd and/or higher power supply signal Vss to produce output signal Vout, to promote energy use efficiency.
In the time that difference signal dV is less than Second Threshold signal Vth2, represent that the difference signal dV between output signal Vout and power supply signal Vdd (or power supply signal Vss) is too little, and the output signal Vout that can cause amplifying circuit 120 to export load 190 to easily produces distortion.Therefore, comparison circuit 280 can produce control signal Vc according to difference signal dV and Second Threshold signal Vth2, the signal value that improves the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and/or reduce power supply signal Vss so that generating circuit from reference voltage 220 to be set, and use higher power supply signal Vdd and/or lower power supply signal Vss to produce output signal Vout, produce the situation of distortion to improve output signal Vout.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, first threshold signal Vth1 and Second Threshold signal Vth2 can consider according to different design, and be set to identical or not identical numerical value.
Sequential chart after one embodiment of multiple signals that the voltage-regulating circuit 140 that Fig. 3 is Fig. 2 produces while running simplifies.The function mode of middle voltage-regulating circuit 140 will be further illustrated with Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 below.
In the time that audio signal output device 100 operates, in the time providing signal value to the output signal Vout of load 190 higher, amplifying circuit 120 need to be exported energy to load 190 by power supply signal Vdd, and the signal value of power supply signal Vdd is reduced.In the time providing signal value to the output signal Vout of load 190 lower, amplifying circuit 120 need to draw energy to load 190 by power supply signal Vss, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is raise.
In the period of Fig. 3 T1, the signal value of generating circuit from reference voltage 220 power supply signal Vdd is set to first signal value V1, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is set to secondary signal value V2.Subtraction circuit 240 can be according to the lowest difference distance of power supply signal Vdd and output signal Vout, and according to the lowest difference distance of power supply signal Vss and output signal Vout, and produce respectively the difference signal dV that numerical value is d1, d2, d3 and d4.
In the time that the numerical value of difference signal dV is d3, difference signal dV is greater than threshold value and produces the first threshold signal Vth1 that circuit 260 produces, represent that now the difference signal dV between output signal Vout and power supply signal Vdd is too large, the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit 120 is not good.
Therefore, in the time of period T2, the signal value of generating circuit from reference voltage 220 meeting power supply signal Vdd is set to the 3rd signal value V3, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is set to the 4th signal value V4, making numerical value in period T2 is that the difference signal dV of d5, d6 and d7 is all less than first threshold signal Vth1.In addition, the 3rd signal value V3 is less than first signal value V1, the 4th signal value V4 is greater than secondary signal value V2, and voltage-regulating circuit 140 can produce output signal Vout with lower power supply signal Vdd and higher power supply signal Vss, and can promote the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit 120.
Sequential chart after another embodiment of multiple signals that the voltage-regulating circuit 140 that Fig. 4 is Fig. 2 produces while running simplifies.The function mode of middle voltage-regulating circuit 140 will be further illustrated with Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 below.
In the period of Fig. 4 S1, the signal value of generating circuit from reference voltage 220 power supply signal Vdd is set to first signal value V1, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is set to secondary signal value V2.Subtraction circuit 240 can be according to the lowest difference distance of power supply signal Vdd and output signal Vout, and according to the lowest difference distance of power supply signal Vss and output signal Vout, and produces the difference signal dV of b1, b2 and b3.
In the time that the numerical value of difference signal dV is b3, difference signal dV is less than threshold value and produces the Second Threshold signal Vth2 that circuit 260 produces, represent that now the difference signal dV between output signal Vout and power supply signal Vdd is too little, the output signal Vout that amplifying circuit 120 exports load 190 to easily produces distortion.
Therefore, in the time of period S2, generating circuit from reference voltage 220 can power supply signal Vdd signal value be set to the 5th signal value V5, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is set to the 6th signal value V6, making numerical value in period T2 is that the difference signal dV of b4 and d5 is all greater than Second Threshold signal Vth2.In addition, the 5th signal value V5 is greater than first signal value V1, the 6th signal value V6 is less than secondary signal value V2, and voltage-regulating circuit 140 can produce output signal Vout with higher power supply signal Vdd and lower power supply signal Vss, easily produces the situation of distortion and can reduce output signal Vout.
Fig. 5 is the functional block diagram after another embodiment of voltage-regulating circuit 140 in Fig. 1 simplifies, the sequential chart after another embodiment of multiple signals that the voltage-regulating circuit 140 that Fig. 6 is Fig. 5 produces while running simplifies.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, except generating circuit from reference voltage 220, subtraction circuit 240 and the comparison circuit 280 of Fig. 2, the voltage-regulating circuit 140 of Fig. 5 also includes load circuit for detecting 520, counting circuit 540 and threshold value and produces circuit 560.In order to make drawing concisely be easy to explanation, other elements and the annexation of voltage-regulating circuit 140 are not illustrated in Fig. 5.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, generating circuit from reference voltage 220, subtraction circuit 240 and comparison circuit 280 can use the same or similar execution mode of embodiment with Fig. 2, and therefore the function mode of these function squares and execution mode can no longer repeat with reference to above paragraph.
Load circuit for detecting 520 can use the frameworks such as the signal processing circuit of various analog or digitals to implement, to detect the resistance value of load 190.For example, load circuit for detecting 520 can use current source circuit load 190 to be transmitted to the AC signal of different frequency, with the resistance value of computational load 190.In addition, threshold value produces circuit 540 and is coupled to load circuit for detecting 520, and can be according to the setting of load circuit for detecting 520, the threshold signal being produced to adjust.
In the time that audio signal output device 100 operates, in the time providing signal value to the output signal Vout of load 190 higher, amplifying circuit 120 need to be exported energy to load 190 by power supply signal Vdd, and the signal value of power supply signal Vdd is reduced.In the time providing signal value to the output signal Vout of load 190 lower, amplifying circuit 120 need to draw energy to load 190 by power supply signal Vss, and the signal value of power supply signal Vss is raise.
When the resistance value of load 190 hour, the amplitude that the signal value of power supply signal Vdd reduces is larger, the amplitude that the signal value of power supply signal Vss raises is also larger.The resistance value that represents load 190 as the curve 610 and 630 of Fig. 6 hour, an embodiment of the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and Vss.
In the time that the resistance value of load 190 is larger, the amplitude that the signal value of power supply signal Vdd reduces is less, and the amplitude that the signal value of power supply signal Vss raises is also less.While representing that as the curve 620 and 640 of Fig. 6 the resistance value of load 190 is larger, an embodiment of the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and Vss.
Voltage-regulating circuit 140 can be detected by load circuit for detecting 320 resistance value of load 190, produces circuit 560 its one or more threshold signals that produce of adjustment and threshold value is set accordingly.For example, in the time that the resistance value of load 190 is less than the first default resistance value, load circuit for detecting 520 can produce circuit 560 by threshold value and be set to export first threshold signal Vth1 and Second Threshold signal Vth2.And in the time that the resistance value of load 190 is greater than the first default resistance value, load circuit for detecting 520 can produce circuit 560 by threshold value and be set to export the 3rd threshold signal Vth3 and the 4th threshold signal Vth4, the 3rd threshold signal Vth3 is less than first threshold signal Vth1, and the 4th threshold signal Vth4 is less than Second Threshold signal Vth2.In addition, in another embodiment, in the time that the resistance value of load 190 is less than than lower the second default resistance value of the first default resistance value, load circuit for detecting 520 can produce circuit 560 by threshold value and be set to export the 5th threshold signal Vth5 and the 6th threshold signal Vth6, the 5th threshold signal Vth5 is greater than first threshold signal Vth1, and the 6th threshold signal Vth6 is greater than Second Threshold signal Vth2.
When the resistance value of load 190 is less, the amplitude of power supply signal Vdd and Vss variation is larger, and output signal Vout is easier to exceed the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and Vss and produces distortion.Therefore, load circuit for detecting 320 can arrange threshold value and produce circuit 560 and increase one or more threshold signals of its generation, avoids output signal Vout to produce the situation of distortion to promote.
Therefore, when the resistance value of load 190 is larger, the amplitude of power supply signal Vdd and Vss variation is less, and output signal Vout produces distortion compared with being not easy to exceed the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and Vss.Therefore, load circuit for detecting 320 can arrange threshold value and produce circuit 560 and downgrade one or more threshold signals of its generation, to promote the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit 120.
In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the cumulative number that counting circuit 540 can be greater than threshold signal and/or be less than threshold signal in order to calculated difference signal dV (for example, cumulative number in one section of Preset Time), the power supply signal Vdd and the Vss that are produced to adjust generating circuit from reference voltage 220.For example, when the cumulative number that is greater than first threshold signal Vth1 as difference signal dV is greater than default calculation times, the signal value that generating circuit from reference voltage 220 downgrades the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and/or increases power supply signal Vss is just set.In another embodiment, when the cumulative number that is less than Second Threshold signal Vth2 as difference signal dV is greater than default calculation times, just setting increases the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and/or downgrades the signal value of power supply signal Vss.
In the above-described embodiment, each functional module all can consider according to different design, and adopts one or more circuit elements to implement.For example, amplifying circuit 120 and voltage-regulating circuit 140 can be arranged at same integrated circuit (IC) chip, also can adopt respectively one or more integrated circuit components and/or discrete circuit element to implement.
In other embodiment, counting circuit 540 also can be arranged at the voltage-regulating circuit 140 of Fig. 2, adjusts the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and/or the signal value of power supply signal Vss and generating circuit from reference voltage 220 is set.In other embodiment, the voltage-regulating circuit 140 of Fig. 5 also can omit counting circuit 540 and relevant running, adjusts produced power supply signal Vdd and Vss and use comparison circuit 280 that generating circuit from reference voltage 220 is set.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, voltage-regulating circuit 140 also can be set to only adjust the signal value of power supply signal Vdd, only adjust the signal value of power supply signal VSS or adjust the signal value of power supply signal Vdd and the signal value of power supply signal Vss simultaneously.
In the above-described embodiments, voltage-regulating circuit can suitably be adjusted according to the characteristic of output signal the power supply signal that exports amplifying circuit to, therefore can either promote the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit, can also avoid output signal to produce distortion.In addition, voltage-regulating circuit can also, by the mode such as resistance value and usage count circuit of detecting load, export the power supply signal of amplifying circuit to and adjust accordingly, and more can promote the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit and avoid the distortion of output signal.
In the above-described embodiments, voltage-regulating circuit can be according to the actual gap between output signal and power supply signal, and generating circuit from reference voltage is set adjusts the signal value of power supply signal.Therefore,, in the time that the resistance value of load changes or when power supply signal is not accurate enough, still can avoid output signal generation distortion and improve the energy use efficiency of amplifying circuit.
