    Abstract: An automatic gain control circuit is provided, which has minimum variations in the output signal level even with the presence of variations in component parts thereof and the temperature dependency of component parts thereof and can therefore dispense with the use of an additional amplifier circuit for adjusting the output level. An input signal-attenuating circuit attenuates the level of an input signal to a voltage amplifier circuit. An output level-detecting circuit detects the voltage level of an output signal from the voltage amplifier circuit to thereby carry out feedback control by controlling the attenuating characteristic of the input signal-attenuating circuit in response to the detected voltage of the output signal such that the voltage level of the output signal from the voltage amplifier circuit is maintained at a constant level. The output level-detecting circuit is comprised of a differential amplifier circuit which detects and amplifies the difference between a predetermined reference voltage and the voltage of the output signal from the voltage amplifier circuit.

    Abstract: A differential amplifier circuit comprises an input circuit (10) for generating the difference in voltage between a positive input signal and a negative input signal; a feedback bias circuit (20) for providing a bias voltage corresponding to the differential voltage signal in response to the differential voltage signal supplied by the input circuit (10) and for feeding the output current back to control the bias voltage; an output circuit (30) for supplying load with the output current corresponding to the bias voltage; and a current detector circuit (40) for detecting the output current and supplying it to the feedback bias circuit (20). The differential amplifier circuit performs as a class-AB amplifier with the bias current value being close to zero if the differential voltage signal is zero.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a mute function of a class-D amplifier without making a circuit large in scale nor complicated. SOLUTION: An output limit instruction generating section 310 detects that output digital signals VOp and VOn are clipped, and outputs an output limit instruction signal Cdet. An attenuation instruction pulse generating section 320 includes a capacitor C30 for integrating the output limit instruction signal Cdet, and outputs a periodical attenuation instruction pulse SW having pulse width corresponding to a voltage VC1 of the capacitor C30. An attenuator 160 is provided in an input path for input signals VIp and VIn to the class-D amplifier, and turns on by being supplied with the attenuation instruction pulse SW to attenuate the input signals. A mute control section 330 controls the voltage VC1 of the capacitor C30 independently of the output limit instruction signal Cdet to control an amount of the attenuation applied by the attenuator 160 applied to the input signal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a class D amplifier capable of preventing output noise generated by a switching operation.
    SOLUTION: An integrating circuit 16 integrates the difference between an input signal through a resistor 12 and a feedback signal through a resistor 13. A triangular wave generator 17 generates the triangular wave of a constant period. A comparator 18 compares the output of the integrating circuit 16 with the output of the triangular wave generator 17, and outputs a result of the comparison. A pulse width modulation signal is generated by this comparator 18. A delay circuit 30 delays the output of the comparator 18 for a predetermined time and outputs the delayed output. A buffer amplifier 19 amplifies the output of the delay circuit 30, adds the amplified output to an output terminal 20, and feeds the output back to an input side of the integrating circuit 16 via the resistor 13. With the provided delay circuit 30, a switching noise generated in the comparator 18 is delayed and returned to the input side, thereby preventing the output noise.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a DC offset by reducing a manufacturing cost.
    SOLUTION: A comparator CMP compares pulse width modulation outputs on both sides, to generate a duty pulse whose signal level is lowered by a pulse train of the same shape as the output. An integration circuit 4 smooths a duty deviation of the duty pulse, being the DC offset, contained in the modulation output, to output a signal on a level proportional to the DC offset. An adder 5 adds the signal on the level proportional to the DC offset to an input signal INO to make an input signal IN to an Lch pulse width modulator/amplifier part 1. For example, when the DC offset on a positive level is included in the pulse width modulation output, a signal on a negative level is outputted from the integration circuit 4. Thereby, since the level of the input signal IN falls, a duty ratio of the pulse width modulation outputs on each side is corrected in a decrease direction.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an amplitude compressor that is easily integrated into an IC in a MOS process. SOLUTION: When an input signal Vin is fed to a PWM modulation section 10, the input signal Vin is PWM-modulated depending on a modulation degree decided by a control signal Cs and a PWM modulation signal Vm is generated. An amplitude detection section 30 detects an amplitude of an output signal Vout based on a signal V' that is an inverse of the PWM modulation signal Vm to generate the control signal Cs in response to the detection result. Since the control signal Cs is given as positive and negative power supplies vh, vl of a buffer 13, a feedback amount of an operational amplifier 11 is adjusted thereby to adjust a modulation degree of the PWM modulation signal Vm. A demodulation section 20 demodulates the PWM modulation signal Vm to generate the output signal Vout.
