Definitions
- This invention relates to power amplification of pulse modulated signals by a switching power stage.
- the invention may advantageously be used for improved conversion of a digital signal directly to analog power.
- Applications are direct digital audio power conversion and general DC-DC or DC-AC power conversion systems controlled from the digital domain.
- the advantages of power amplification based on a switching power stage are well known.
- the high efficiency provides sev- eral advantages, in terms of minimal weight and volume, higher power handling capability and improved reliability.
- the fundamental elements in switching power amplification are the modulator, the switching power stage and the demodulation filter to reconstitute the modulated signal .
- the non- linearity of the switching power stage presents a significant impediment to maintain the modulator performance throughout the subsequent power conversion by a switching power stage. This problem is fundamental and independent on the use of analog modulation as analog P M, or digital modulation as di- rect digital PCM-PWM conversion.
- the primary objective of the present invention is to enable improved power amplification of a pulse modulated signal, where all error sources related to the power stage and demodulation filter are eliminated, such that the modulator performance can be maintained throughout the subsequent elements all the way to the output.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a practical digital PCM - power conversion system, that is insensitive to power stage non-linearity, perturbation on the power supply and any other non-ideal elements.
- the objectives of the invention are achieved by the introduction of a correction unit in- between the pulse modulator and the switching power amplifi- cation stage.
- the correction unit provides compensation by means of pulse re-timing on the pulse edges, said re-timing controlled to have a "predistorting" effect, such that the resulting switching power stage output is free from distor- ion, noise or any other undesired contribution.
- one preferred embodiment of the invention is particular in that pulse re-retiming in the correction unit is a linear function of an error signal input. This is advantageous in that the resulting control system is linear, whereby system design and optimization is simplified and the performance improvement controllable.
- the pulse refer- ence control system comprises the following fundamental elements :
- An input terminal taking a pulse modulated signal.
- a Correction Unit with means to correct the delays of the individual pulse edges, controlled by a control input. - A state feedback with compensation.
- a reference-shaping block to modify the pulsed reference input for optimal error estimation.
- a difference block to generate an error signal and a compensator to shape this error is a difference block to generate an error signal and a compensator to shape this error.
- the invention includes various embodiments regarding actual realization of the control function within the correction unit. According to claims 6-10, the invention includes various advantageous embodiments concerning improved digital - analog power conversion suitable for audio power amplification.
- the invention is a fundamentally new control method for improved amplification of a pulse modulated input signal .
- the application range is extremely broad in that the invention can be used with any pulse-modulated input, modulated in the analog or digital domain, and feed any load where a pulsed power signal of controllable quality is needed.
- the principle of the invention may realize perfect reproduc ⁇ tion of the pulsed reference such that the output is a con ⁇ stant times the input, independent on any disturbances that is introduced during power conversion.
- Fig. 1 shows a principle of power amplification based on ei ⁇ ther analog or digital input that is well known to the art.

- Fig. 14 shows the results of a simulation of error correction towards a deterministic pulse timing error source in the switching power stage.
- the example embodiment of the invention reduces the distortion considerably.
- Fig. 15 shows a simulation of the effects of power supply perturbations.
- the example embodiment of the invention elimi- nates the intermodulation caused by this error source.
- Pulse Timing Errors arise from:
- Pulse Amplitude Errors mainly arise from:
- demodulation filter errors may introduce further distortion, since magnetic core materials are not ideal.
- the filter increases the total output impedance. Accordingly, changes in load impedance will distort the frequency response.
- Fig. 1 shows a method, well known in the art, to realize power amplifica ion based on analog pulse modulation techniques.
- the modulator output feeds a switching power stage, the output of which is demodulated and feed to the load.
- a linear control system referenced to the analog input serves to minimize the errors within the power conversion, such that the effects of the above mentioned errors can be minimized.
- a digital input requires a separate D/A converter to generate the analog input that serves as input to the control system.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the simplified and desirable system for direct digital to analog power conversion using digital pulse modulation techniques, also well known in prior art.
- the ap ⁇ plication of error feedback control is complicated in that an analog/digital converter would be needed to enable comparison with the digital reference source. This compromises both per ⁇ formance and complexity and renders the method impractical.
- the new principle of the invention is shown by the general block diagram in Fig. 3.
- the modulator is feed to a correc ⁇ tion unit that serves to correct or "predistort" the pulse modulated signal v r to generate the compensated pulse signal v c , such that the said non-ideal behavior within the subse ⁇ quent power conversion and demodulation are eliminated.
- This is carried out by means of intelligent pulse edge delays on each of the pulse edges, controlled by an input control sig ⁇ nal v e to the correction unit.
- the method will henceforth be referenced to as Pulse Edge Delay Error Correction (PEDEC ) .
- PEDEC Pulse Edge Delay Error Correction
- the invention is a fundamentally new control method for im ⁇ proved amplification of a pulse modulated input signal.
- the application range is broad in that the invention can be used with any pulse-modulated input, modulated in the analog or digital domain, and feed any load where a pulsed power signal of controllable quality is needed.
- the invention relies on two fundamental facts:
- the pulse modulator can generate a very high quality pulsed waveform, that may be used as reference for the control system.
- the edge correction may be implemented using single-sided or double-sided edge delay correction, as shown conceptually in Fig. 5.
- the choice of single or double edge correction is in ⁇ dependent of the type of modulation method.
- the control of both edges leads to efficient correction and furthermore has simple implementation strategies. Subsequently, the following description of this aspect of the invention will focus on double edge correction.
- the dual input pulse referenced feedback control system comprises :
- An input terminal that is feed by a pulse modulated refer- ence signal v r .
- PEDEC unit A Correction Unit with means to control the delays of the individual pulse edges and generate the corrected output pulse signal v c .
- An optional reference shaping block R is provided.
- the correction unit may be realized by various linear and also n ⁇ n-linear methods.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention regarding PEDEC unit realization is described hereinafter. It proves advantageous to let the con- trol error signal v e to the PEDEC unit realizes an effective change in pulse width ⁇ r w at the end of each switching cycle that is proportional to the control signal input v e :
- This preferred linear control function is advantageous in that it simplifies controller design and provides controllable performance improvements compared to e.g. the implementation of a non-linear control function.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is particular in that the implementation of a double-sided correction unit that implements (4) is simple.
- the method is shown in Fig. 6.
- the linear control function is realized by a limited integration of the reference v r , thus generating the signal V/ .
- a comparison between the modified reference with the control signal v e caused the pulse edges to be re-timed. From Fig. 6 in follows that:
- k w as defined in (1) is:
- Fig. 7 shows a preferred implementation of the double-sided edge correction method. The method is very simple and straightforward.
- the pulses should have a certain minimal width.
- the minimum pulse width for optimal performance is related to the modulation index M and switching period t s as :
- the invention includes several embodiments regarding the application of the invention specifically in digital to analog power conversion.
- One preferred embodiment is the system shown in Fig. 8.
- PEDEC in combination with one of the high performance digital pulse width modulation methods (PCM- PWM methods) that are known to the art, the signal will re ⁇ main digital or pulsed throughout the main audio chain.
- No analog modulator or carrier generator is needed as with ana ⁇ log pulse modulation, since the system is controlled exclusively by the digital modulator.
- the state feedback is a voltage feedback from the switching power stage output v p .
- the feedback path compensator is a simple attenuation, and the compensator block C(s) is a linear filter.
- the system introduces a very powerful and flexible control of system performance.
- the preferred linear control function provides great flexi- bility in performance optimization.
- An example of PEDE C control system design is specified in the following.
- the compensator is defined in the linear model of the system as shown in Fig. 9.
- the PEDEC unit has been replaced by its equivalent linear gain and the resulting system has been redrawn to emphasize the dual input character of the PEDEC based digital to power conversion system.
- the specified compensator provides sufficient flexibility to optimize the performance to various characteristics.
- the resulting loop transfer function is derived directly from the system model :
- the gain of the system is controlled by the A-block, and with the given example embodiment, the PEDEC control system will force the system gain to be constant within the target bandwidth. This stabilizes both system gain and the frequency response.
- the resulting system re- sponse is constituted of two contributions, since the reference has two inputs in the loop.
- the system transfer function is :
- Fig. 13 shows the resulting Bode plots for the closed system, consisting of two contributions forming the loop response and a total system response with the demodulation filter.
- the constant gain characteristic of the loop caused by ⁇ K P .
- the demodulation filter exclusively determines the response of the system.
- Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are characterized by using different compensator and reference shaping blocks.
- the em- bodiment in Fig. 10 is preferably based on a first order characteristic in both the reference shaping block R(s) and the feedback compensator A(s) .
- the advantages in the demodulation of both reference and feedback signal are minimized noise within the control system and furthermore lower band-
- SUBST1TUTE SHEET (RULE 26) width requirements for the feedback compensator.
- the embodi ⁇ ment in Fig. ll is based on a global feedback source such that demodulation filter errors are included within the loop and also corrected for. This requires a second order refer ⁇ ence shaper for optimal error estimation.
- Fig. 14 The correction effects towards pulse timing errors ( PTE ) is shown in Fig. 14, where THD for the open loop system and three PEDEC controller configurations have been investigated at the worst case signal frequency. Clearly, the controller considerably reduces the effects of this particular error source. Furthermore, adjusting the compensator gain K c can control the improvements. In this particular situation the distortion is reduced 20dB - 30dB.
- Fig. 15 shows an idea- gation of PAE with a severe power supply perturbation of 10 Vpp. Top figure visualizes the clear intermodulation between power supply and signal. Bottom figure shows how the PEDEC controller eliminates this effect such that the intermodula ⁇ tion is no more visible in the time domain. The inter odula- tion distortion is reduced more than 40dB compared to the open loop case, as predicted by the sensitivity function in theory.
