  • Patent number: 9967517
    Abstract: A method for transmitting an audio-video data can include: receiving a video signal from a video source and an audio signal from an audio source; receiving an audio data of the audio signal, and detecting an audio frame clock signal of the audio signal; converting the audio data to an audio data sequence with a first encoding rule; generating a start data code, an end data code, and an audio frame clock code according to the audio data sequence and the audio frame clock signal with a second encoding rule, where the first encoding rule is different than the second encoding rule; generating a low speed data frame according to the audio frame clock signal and the audio data sequence; inserting the start data code at the beginning of each audio data sequence, and inserting the end data code at the ending of each audio data sequence.

  • Patent number: 9955257
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a class-D audio amplifier. When the class-D audio amplifier is powered on, an auxiliary power amplifier and an auxiliary feedback circuit constitute an auxiliary close loop so that a control loop is established in advance. The auxiliary close loop is disconnected after various circuit modules reach their steady operation points, and the class-D audio amplifier operates at a normal state. A soft start circuit is provided for suppressing noise which occurs when the class-D audio amplifier is powered on. Thus, the class-D audio amplifier suppresses POP noise at an output terminal when the class-D audio amplifier is powered on.
