Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for converting an audio signal from a source (25) into audio waves, comprising a modulator (17), for modulating said audio signal, an amplifying switching stage (15), for amplifying a modulated audio signal supplied from the modulator, and a transducer (19). The transducer is connected directly to the switching stage, and is arranged to convert a pulse train from the switching stage into audio waves. Further, the modulator, the switching stage and the conversion means are integrated mechanically and electrically in one operational unit, being connectable directly to a mains power supply (12). By this electrical integration, no separate filtering is required, but instead the inherent qualities of the transducer are used for accomplishing filtering of the pulse train.

Abstract: A power conversion system comprising an amplifier input for receiving an analogue input signal and an amplifier output for providing a switching output signal is disclosed. The system is applicable for use in high definition switching audio amplification. The power conversion system further comprises a clipper for clipping the analogue input signal having a predefined range limited by a clipping level, a pulse modulator and a switching power stage. The system further has a feedback path to the clipper including a duty cycle measuring unit and a clip level filter which generates a clip level signal and where the clipping level of the clipper is controlled by the clip level signal. Hereby it is e.g. possible to clip an analogue input signal with good precision and reliability in a switching power conversion system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a current limiting method, e. g. for Class D amplifiers comprising a unique detection- and control method. The current detection circuit can be implemented as a voltage measurement where the measured voltage corresponds to the current flowing through the power-switching device. The device can be switched OFF when a set limit is reached. By forcing certain OFF time, the associated control system behaves as a self-oscillating current limiting circuit. This can be implemented locally close to the switching device and be independent of other local or global control systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compensator device for compensating signal dependent delay variations, including dead time and reverse recovery time, causing un-linearity in a Class-D amplifier where the compensator device comprises: a first input terminal for receiving an input pulse width modulated input PWM signal comprising pulses with falling flanks corresponding to a falling level transition and rising flanks corresponding to a rising level transition; and a second input terminal configured to receive the signal provided at an output switching node of a Class-D amplifier; an output terminal for providing a compensated output signal; and controllable delay means configured to receive and delay the pulse modulated input signal, thereby providing a delayed version of the input signal to said output terminal of the compensator device. The compensator device further comprises time measuring means configured for measuring the time between a transition of the signal provided at the output terminal of the compensator device and the corresponding transition of the signal at the output switching node of a Class-D amplifier and based on these measurements providing a control signal to the controllable delay means. An advantageous effect of the present invention is that the rising and falling level transition delays will be substantially similar thus substantially removing non-linearity and obtaining substantially correct pulse widths. The invention further relates to a corresponding method, a driver device and a Class-D amplifier.
