Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an audio apparatus and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an audio apparatus capable of improving the performance of an audio apparatus by improving an output signal for driving a speaker, To an audio apparatus capable of correcting nonlinear characteristics and errors of an audio apparatus by implementing feedback of an output signal even if the waveform is non-linear.
Of the current audio devices, switching amplifiers are binary-based, two-stage switching at high output, binary at low output, and multilevel at higher output. Among the multilevel methods, the damped ternary method is used in a multilevel manner because of its high efficiency. However, in the case of the damped ternary method, since the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output waveform is calculated by calculation, it is difficult to correct the error by the feedback.
1 is an exemplary diagram showing a configuration of a conventional audio apparatus. Conventionally, the switching timing is calculated for multilevel switching. Since the calculated switching signal is different from the input signal, it may be difficult to compare the input signal with the output signal by feedbacking the output waveform. Therefore, it is general that the multi-level switching amplifier constitutes the circuit without feedback.
FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram showing a three-step operation of a damped ternary method. The damped ternary method generates efficiency by operating a zero power stage. In general multilevel, sw1 and sw2 are turned on and sw3 and sw4 are turned off. In a multilevel switching amplifier for efficiency improvement, such as a damped ternary, such an operation is not performed for efficiency.
3 is an exemplary diagram for comparing a power source and a waveform of a binary system and a damped ternary system. As shown in FIG. 3, a gain of a damped ternary method is shown as compared with a binary method for obtaining a sinusoidal curve as an output signal. In the case of the binary method, since a small power source is used for two large signals whose operation is canceled or not used, high power is consumed and power consumption is increased. However, the Damped Ternary method is effective because it generates the output signal of the sine curve while supplying the power only when the signal exists.
However, in the case of the structure that calculates and outputs the waveform of the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output, there is a problem that the waveforms of the input signal and the output signal are not the same, so that the feedback correction can not be performed. Failure to perform the feedback correction can not correct the nonlinear characteristics of the switching amplifier, thereby degrading the performance of the audio apparatus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems of the conventional audio apparatus described above and to provide an audio apparatus in which feedback of an output signal for driving a speaker is implemented even in a waveform in which an input signal and an output signal for driving a speaker are not the same, Characteristics and errors of the audio signal, and a control method thereof.
