Definitions
- the invention describes an acceleration method for an output stage of a transistor audio power amplifier, which utilizes the high conversion rate of a small power transistor to compensate for the defects of the high power transistor and accelerate the conversion rate of the output stage, thereby eliminating the transient intermodulation distortion of the transistor audio power amplifier.
- Suitable for applications with transistor audio amplifiers such as stereos, amplifiers, DVD players and TVs.
- the static indicator of the transistor audio amplifier is very good, but it is not good when actually playing music.
- the accepted reason is that the transient intermodulation distortion of the transistor audio amplifier is very large. There are many factors that produce transient intermodulation distortion, the main ones are as follows:
- the transient intermodulation distortion is basically solved. Then let's see how these problems are solved under the existing technical conditions.
- the first one is the problem of the damping capacitor.
- the main reason is that the high-frequency characteristics of the power amplifier transistor cause self-excited oscillation.
- a vibration-absorbing capacitor is added to the circuit.
- the high-frequency characteristics of the small-signal amplifying transistor of the power amplifier have been greatly improved, so the vibration-absorbing capacitor is used very small.
- Transient intermodulation distortion caused by the snubber capacitor is much lower than before.
- the second is the problem that the open loop gain is too large and the negative feedback is too deep.
- the open-loop index of the transistor power amplifier is not high, it is necessary to rely on the deep negative feedback to improve the index, so that the open-loop gain of the transistor power amplifier is often made large, and the transient characteristics are also deteriorated.
- the solution to this problem is to use a well-linear transistor and pair it up; add more local negative feedback; increase the open-loop specification of the transistor amplifier. Now, this problem has been solved very well. Then there is the last problem, that is, the problem that the conversion rate of the amplifier is not enough. Now, the conversion rate of small signal amplifiers has been done very well, achieving 2000V/US performance, which is more than enough in the audio field.
- the high-power output stage slew rate of transistor audio amplifiers has not been able to go up.
- the method of the invention utilizes the high slew rate of the small power transistor to compensate for the lack of conversion rate of the high power output transistor.
- H-IN and L-IN in the figure are signals from the push stage, Q1 and Q2 are high power output tubes, and Q3 to Q8 are paralleled by the method of the present invention.
- the current amplification factors of Q1 to Q8 are all equal. Due to the action of the B limit current resistor, the output power of Q3 is 1/2 of Q1 (one-sixth, the same below); the output power of Q5 is 1/2 of Q3; and so on. Assume that at some point, the rising signal rate from H-IN is too fast, so that the rate of Q1 cannot keep up. This shows that the voltage at the OUT terminal is lower than that at the H-IN terminal.
- the task of Q3 is to compensate for the decrease in power due to the slow change of Q1.
- the current is 1/2, and now, the actual compensation is less than 1/2, the current caused by the slow change of Q3 itself is reduced by 5% of Q5, and so on.
- the right half of the drawing is the connection of the field effect transistor power amplifier circuit.
- the method of the present invention has significant advantages over existing output stages with multiple high power transistor parallel circuits.
- multiple high-power transistors are connected in parallel, multiple transistors are in the same direction of action rather than complementary, so that transient intermodulation distortion cannot be eliminated.
- the conversion rate of high power transistors is not comparable to that of small power transistors. If it is in an integrated circuit, it is technically difficult to integrate multiple high-power transistors at the same time.
- the method of the present invention is not only applicable to discrete original circuits, but also has advantages in integrated circuits.
- the current amplification factor of the bipolar transistor can be controlled to distribute the output power of each of the smaller power transistors; if it is a field effect transistor, the transconductance coefficient can be controlled to distribute the output power of each of the smaller power transistors.
- the method of the present invention also has several additional functions: Since the conversion rate of the output stage is accelerated, the high frequency characteristics of the transistor audio power amplifier are improved, so that the vibration damping capacitance can be reduced or even completely removed. The transient intermodulation distortion of the transistor audio power amplifier is further improved. At the same time, due to the improved small signal characteristics of the high-power output stage, the open-loop index of the circuit is improved, the open-loop gain can be reduced, and the negative feedback depth of the closed-loop state is reduced. This in turn can improve the transient intermodulation distortion of the circuit. The small signal characteristics of the high power output stage are improved, and the sound at a small volume is also better. Transistor audio amplifiers often work in a "small volume" state. Relative to the maximum output power, the transistor audio amplifiers in normal use operate at very small volume levels. For example, a maximum of 100W transistor audio amplifiers are often below 5W when actually listening.
