  • Patent number: 7420422
    Abstract: After coupling a first voltage source to a voltage supply circuit, a second voltage source having a same electrical level but an opposite electrical pole with said first voltage source is generated. An audio amplifier is then driven by both the first voltage source and the second voltage source, where said audio amplifier requires a pair of voltage sources having the same electrical level but opposite electrical poles to be driven. The voltage supply circuit generates the second voltage source from the first voltage source by simultaneously switching two sets of switches, where said both sets of switches have non-synchronous statuses in switching.

  • Publication number: 20080118092
    Abstract: In a speaker system, pulse width modulation signals are utilized for driving said speaker system, and duty cycles of both left audio channel signals and right audio channel signals of an earphone in said speaker system are modulated by said pulse width modulation signals. When the left audio channel or the right audio channel of the earphone has no inputted audio signals with the abovementioned modulated duty cycles, the speaker system may be prevented from unnecessary power consumption. Besides, audio signals from both the left audio channel and the right audio channel of the earphone and outputted from the speaker system may thus be synchronized further by both the pulse width modulation signals and a sawtooth wave source for generating said pulse width modulation signals, for reducing noise and increasing an output audio quality of the speaker system. The abovementioned speaker system is preferably utilized for a Class D amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20080080726
    Abstract: An audio amplifier includes a plurality of sub-audio amplifier sets, a clock source, and a speaker. When the audio amplifier is under an audio amplify mode, the plurality of sub-audio amplifier sets is operated under a synchronic operating frequency with a same clock signal generated by the clock source. When the audio amplifier is under a self-oscillation mode, the clock signal is isolated from being input to the plurality of sub-audio amplifier sets. A higher distortion is prevented by repeatedly charging and discharging an oscillating capacitor of a sub-audio amplifier in a sub-audio amplifier set.

  • Publication number: 20070052484
    Abstract: A self oscillation system capable of eliminating interference is provided. The self oscillation system comprises a plurality of channel oscillation circuits and a plurality of eliminators. The plurality of channel oscillation circuits generates a plurality of channel oscillation signals according to a plurality of channel input signals. The plurality of eliminators respectively coupled to two of the plurality of channel oscillation circuits eliminates cross talk.
