Three-Step Ramped Reference To Reduce Popping Noises On Audio Circuit
US Patent:
6775387, Aug 10, 2004
Filed:
Nov 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/452035
Inventors:
Daniel A. Mavencamp - Brandon MS

Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H04B 1500
US Classification:
381120, 381 945, 381 941, 381123, 381104, 51127
Abstract:
Provided is a method ( ) and audio circuit ( ) for reducing popping noise in a load ( ) connected to the audio circuit, especially during audio circuit start-up. The method applies a time varying voltage ( ) to the load that has a smooth, S-shaped curve when plotted over time. The device include an integrated circuit (IC) set as a channel block ( ), a load connected between the channel block and ground, a bypass control ( ) connected to the channel block for producing a controlled ground reference voltage having an S-shaped curve to the channel block, a shunt control ( ) controlling the voltage delivered across the load, and a ground capacitor ( ) coupled between the bypass control and ground. The channel block typically includes an amplifier which supplies the output voltage across the load. The bypass circuit generally includes a bypass generator and a transistor selectively providing a charge to the ground capacitor.
Feedback Controlled Power Limiting For Signal Amplifiers
US Patent:
7733174, Jun 8, 2010
Filed:
Oct 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/253764

Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H03F 1/36
US Classification:
330110, 330311
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an amplifier, differential amplifiers, and FETs. The amplifier has an intermediate node and an output node, and the amplifier is adapted to receive an audio signal. Each differential amplifier amplifies the difference between an output voltage from the output node with a reference voltages. The FETs are coupled in series with one another between a first and a second voltage, and each FET receives an output from at least one of the differential amplifiers. Additionally, the intermediate node is coupled to a node between at least two FETs.
Audio Amplifier And Methods Of Generating Audio Signals
US Patent:
7633336, Dec 15, 2009
Filed:
Aug 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/844860
Inventors:
Ronnie A. Bean - Brandon MS, US

David J. Baldwin - Allen TX, US
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H03F 3/38
US Classification:
330 10
Abstract:
Audio amplifiers and methods of generating audio signals are disclosed. A disclosed example amplifier comprises a first driver to receive a first signal; a second driver to receive a second signal; a configurable signal delivery circuit; and a mode selector in communication with the first and second drivers to selectively configure the signal delivery circuit in a voltage boost mode or a voltage buck-boost mode based on a characteristic of the input signal.
