Fig. 2 is embodiment flow process Figure 200 of method that the present invention is used for controlling power output stage 160, and its each step comprised is described below:
In step 210, oversampling unit 110 meeting receive frequency is the digital audio and video signals Di of a N1 bit of F0, and according to this first work clock CLK_1, oversampling (oversampling) is carried out to this digital audio and video signals Di, with oversampling signal (oversampledsignal) Ds of the N1 bit that to produce frequency be F1, wherein F1 is greater than F0.
In a step 220, control module 120 can produce according to this oversampling signal Ds the first control signal Ctl_1 that frequency is a N2 bit of F1, and frequency is the second control signal Ctl_2 of a N3 bit of F1, wherein N1 > N2 >=N3 >=1.
Please refer to Fig. 3, its illustrate into control module 120 of the present invention first embodiment simplify after calcspar.As shown in Figure 3, the control module 120 of the present embodiment comprises the triangular integration modulator of a N4 bit (sigma delta modulator) 310 and a determining means 320, wherein N4=N2+N3 and N4 < N1.Triangular integration modulator 310 is used for carrying out a trigonometric integral modulation to this oversampling signal Ds, to produce the modulating signal M0 of a N4 bit.Operationally, triangular integration modulator 310, except reducing the bit number of digital audio and video signals, also has the function of noise reformation (noise shaping) concurrently.
Then, this modulating signal M0 that determining means 320 can export according to triangular integration modulator 310, produces this first control signal Ctl_1 and this second control signal Ctl_2.In implementation, determining means 320 can produce this first control signal Ctl_1 according to the multiple high bit of this modulating signal M0 (most significant bits), and produces this second control signal Ctl_2 according at least one low bit (1east significant bit) of this modulating signal M0.Such as, in one embodiment, N2 the high bit that determining means 320 can export this modulating signal M0 is used as this first control signal Ctl_1, and N3 the low bit exporting this modulating signal M0 is used as this second control signal Ctl_2.In this instance, determining means 320 can realize with a de-multiplexer.
Then, in step 230, PWM circuit 130 can produce according to this first control signal Ctl_1 the first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1 that frequency is 1 bit of F2, wherein F2=2 n2× F1.
In step 240, the instruction of this second control signal Ctl_2 that pulse-width adjustment unit 140 can produce according to control module 120, adjusts the pulsewidth of this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1, to produce one second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2.Below, will Fig. 4 be utilized to further illustrate enforcement and the function mode of pulse-width adjustment unit 140.
Fig. 4 illustrate into pulse-width adjustment unit 140 of the present invention first embodiment simplify after calcspar.The pulse-width adjustment unit 140 of the present embodiment includes a phase shifter (phase shifter) 410, multiplexer 420 and one or door (OR gate) 430.Phase shifter 410 is used for producing multiple inhibit signal according to this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1.In this example, phase shifter 410 utilizes the delay chain (delay chain) be made up of n delay-level (delaystage) to postpone this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1, to produce n inhibit signal P1 ~ Pn, wherein n=2 n3-1.In one embodiment, the retardation of each delay-level of phase shifter 410 is all 1/ (F2 × 2 n3), therefore the phase difference in the plurality of inhibit signal P1 ~ Pn between adjacent two inhibit signals is all 1/ (F2 × 2 n3).Note that this is only an embodiment, but not limit to the actual set mode of the retardation of each delay-level in phase shifter 410.
Multiplexer 420 can according to the value of this second control signal Ctl_2, and one of them selecting the plurality of inhibit signal P1 ~ Pn is as output.Such as, in one embodiment, when the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is 0, multiplexer 420 can export a logic " 0 " signal; When the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is 1, multiplexer 420 can select inhibit signal P1 as output; When the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is 2, multiplexer 420 can select inhibit signal P2 as output; And when the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is 2 n3when-1, multiplexer 420 can select inhibit signal Pn as output, and the rest may be inferred.Then, the output of this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1 and multiplexer 420 can be carried out a logic OR computing, to produce this second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 by pulse-width adjustment unit 140 or door 430.
From aforementioned, when the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is 0, or this second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 that door 430 exports can be identical in fact with this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1.But when the value of this second control signal Ctl_2 is not 0, due to this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1 and multiplexer 420 can't overlap completely during both high logic levels of an inhibit signal Pi (i=1 ~ n) of selecting, therefore or the pulsewidth of this second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 that exports of door 430 can be greater than the pulsewidth of this first pulse-width modulation signal PWM1.In other words, this second control signal Ctl_2 that the pulse-width adjustment unit 140 of the present embodiment exports according to control module 120, determines whether the output pulse width increasing PWM circuit 130, to form this second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2.
Next in step 250, this second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 that audio-frequency power amplifier 100 can utilize control circuit 102 to produce carrys out driving power output stage 160.The function mode utilizing a pulse-width modulation signal to control a power output stage is known technology, does not add explanation at this.
In the control circuit 102 of audio-frequency power amplifier 100, if the modulating signal M0 of the N4 bit directly produced with the triangular integration modulator 310 of control module 120 is used as the input signal of PWM circuit 130, then the frequency of operation of PWM circuit 130 must be promoted to 2 n4× F1.This by significantly increase PWM circuit 130 manufacture on degree of difficulty and cost.It can thus be appreciated that, the modulating signal M0 that control module 120 utilizes determining means 320 to be exported by triangular integration modulator 310 resolves into the mode of bit number the first lower control signal Ctl_1 and the second control signal Ctl_2, effectively can reduce the operating frequency of PWM circuit 130, and then reduce the degree of difficulty and cost that manufacture.On the other hand, pulse-width adjustment unit 140 due to control circuit 102 can finely tune the output pulse width of PWM circuit 130 according to this second control signal Ctl_2, therefore the resolution of the second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 exported, PWM circuit 130 can be in close proximity to 2 n4the resolution of the pulse-width modulation signal that the modulating signal M0 of foundation N4 bit produces under the operating frequency of × F1.In other words, the framework of aforementioned control circuit 102 when not affecting audio-frequency power amplifier 100 overall efficiency, can significantly reduce the frequency of operation of PWM circuit 130.From another angle, compare with the same known control circuit of PWM circuit 130 that uses, aforesaid control circuit 102 has preferably output pulse width resolution, therefore effectively can promote the usefulness of audio-frequency power amplifier.
