Abstract: A signal converter equipped with an overvoltage protection mechanism includes a pulse width modulation unit, a timing processing unit, an overvoltage detection unit, a pulse width control unit and a multi-level conversion unit. The pulse width modulation unit converts an analog signal into a pulse signal. The timing processing unit converts the pulse signal into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the overvoltage detection unit. When the digital signal is higher than the maximum limitation or less than the minimum limitation, the overvoltage detection unit outputs an over-threshold signal to the pulse width control unit to allow the pulse width modulation unit to perform feedback adjustment and prevent the multilevel conversion unit connected to the timing processing unit from causing burnout of downstream circuits because the multilevel conversion unit outputs maximum power intensity of signal over a long time.

Abstract: A signal converter with an overcurrent protection mechanism comprises a pulse width modulation (PWM) unit, a timing processing and multi-level conversion unit, an overcurrent detection unit, and a pulse width control unit. The PWM unit converts an analog signal into a pulse signal. The timing processing and multi-level conversion unit receives the pulse signal and converts the pulse signal into a multi-level digital signal. The overcurrent detection unit has a reference voltage terminal outputting a reference voltage. The overcurrent detection unit receives the multi-level digital signal and converts the multi-level digital signal into a detection voltage. The pulse width control unit compares the detection voltage with the reference voltage and outputs a control signal to the PWM unit. Thereby is formed a feedback mechanism to adjust the output voltage and prevent the succeeding circuit from being damaged caused by overcurrent of the pulse signal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a multi-level output signal converter, which is connected to an audio amplifier. The audio amplifier comprises a comparing/measuring device, an encoder and an output unit. The multi-level output signal converter comprises a timing processing unit and a multi-level converter. The timing processing unit is connected to the comparing/measuring device and the encoder. The timing processing unit includes a plurality of flip-flops and a timing summing element. The flip-flop receives a first signal from the comparing/measuring device and outputs the first signal to the timing summing element. The encoder converts the first signal into a second signal. The multi-level converter is connected to the encoder and the output unit. The encoder transmits the second signal to the multi-level converter, and the multi-level converter thus outputs a third signal to the output unit.
