Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an abnormal working of a power amplifier in case such an excessive input that saturates the power amplifier with an ultra-low band frequency is inpressed by putting a resistance in parallel into a bootstrap capacitor. CONSTITUTION:A resistance R is put in parallel into a bootstrap capacitor C which connects an output terminal 2 and a driving front stage amplifier for output transistor (TR) Q1. Thus the discharge time constant of the C is increased, and therefore the discharge time constant T of a terminal 3 is set at 2.pi.C.(Z+R), where Z shows the output impedance of the amplifier. Thus, the discharge time is increased and then the time during which an abnormal voltage drop is generated. As a result, the saturating time of the TRQ1 is increased, and a TRQ3 of a driver stage is never turned off ealier than the TRQ1. Thus the original effect of a bootstrap circuit is utilized to ensure the maximum application of the power supply voltage.

In Figure 3, if the saturation time (the time the voltage Vcc continues) of the output signal is excessively long, the Pootstrap capacitor (the answer of Q - 1 is finite) As the charge in the capacitor (C) is discharged and the voltage at the Pootstrap terminal (3) decreases, the emitter voltage of the drive transistor (Qs) decreases and the output transistor (Ql) turns off.Therefore, the output terminal [2 )
In the output signal of n1, a current flows toward the ground, and the n1 output voltage drops abnormally. As a result, the voltage at the Pootstrap terminal (3) connected by the capacitor (C) decreases abnormally, and the collector-emitter current of the drive transistor (Qs) decreases abnormally. On the other hand, since the input voltage of the drive transistor (Q,) remains at a high level, the drive transistor (Q, s) remains in the on state and the transistor (
The Hensumi current of Qs) flows to the emitter and increases the Henszumi voltage of the output transistor (Ql). As a result, the output transistor (Qi
) turns on, the output voltage rises, and the capacitor (C)
Since the voltage at the Pootstrap terminal (3) also increases due to K, the transistor (Ql) turns on quickly and reaches the saturation voltage.

Therefore, in the past, if the capacitance of the capacitor (C) was made very large in order to lengthen the discharge time, the cost would be high, and if the withstand voltage of the transistor was included, it could not be made sufficiently large. According to the invention, a resistor as shown in FIG. 3)? By increasing the discharge time constant of the capacitor (C), we can obtain good results as shown in Figure 4. Z
D, the discharge time constant T of terminal (3) is conventionally
Although T=2・π・C・ZD, according to the present invention,
T2v=2@π・C・((As a result, it takes longer for the abnormal voltage drop to occur as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2), and as a result, the time for the output transistor (Ql) to saturate becomes longer. , the driver stage transistor (Qs) will not turn off faster than the output transistor (Ql), and the effect of the original bootstrap circuit can be utilized to maximize the power supply voltage. Even if a low frequency signal is applied, there will be no abnormal drop in output voltage or pressure.
