Patent number: 8330538Abstract: An improved self-oscillating audio amplifier and a method for restraining audio distortion of the self-oscillating audio amplifier are disclosed. The improved self-oscillating audio amplifier comprises a distortion restraint unit configured to detect whether modulated audio signals outputted from the self-oscillating audio amplifier is distorted and, if so, to restrain the distortion. The method for restraining audio distortion of the self-oscillating audio amplifier includes the following steps of: determining whether the modulated audio signals outputted from an audio amplifier positive output terminal is distorted by a first flip-flop set, and if yes, restraining the distortion of the modulated audio signals outputted from the audio amplifier positive output terminal; and outputting the modulated audio signals to drive a speaker by the audio amplifier positive output terminal and an audio amplifier negative output terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Amazing Microelectronic Corp.Inventors: Ming-Hsiung Chen, Shang-Shu Chung, Tung-Sheng Ku

Patent number: 7999610Abstract: A Class D amplifier capable of setting restraint power is provided, which comprises: an audio amplification unit, a pulse width modulation (PWM) unit, a first pre-drive unit, a second pre-drive unit, a first power transistor set, a second power transistor set and a power restraint unit. The power restraint unit has a comparator circuit and a power restraint circuit. The comparator circuit is configured to compare the level of first/second amplified audio signals against the level of a first reference voltage that is externally settable. When the high level of the first/second amplified audio signals is higher than the level of the first reference voltage, the comparator circuit outputs a first comparison signal and a second comparison signal to the power restraint circuit to restrain the power.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2009Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Amazing Microelectronic Corp.Inventors: Ming-Hsiung Chen, Shang-Shu Chung, Tung-Sheng Ku

Patent number: 7944297Abstract: A class D amplifier including a PWM circuit, a buffer amplifying circuit, a low-pass filter, and two current sources is provided. The PWM circuit transfers an analog signal into a PWM signal. The buffer amplifying circuit amplifies the PWM signal and generates an amplified signal. The low-pass filter will filter high frequency components out from the amplified signal and then transmit the filtered signal to a loading of the class D amplifier. The two current sources provide currents flowing into and out from a feedback node in the PWM circuit, respectively. The charging and discharging provided by the two current sources can generate a triangular signal for the PWM circuit.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Amazing Microelectronic Corp.Inventors: Ming-Hsiung Chen, Shang-Shu Chung, Tung-Sheng Ku

Patent number: 7855597Abstract: The invention discloses a class-D amplifier, which is used for driving a two-terminal load according to a set of analog signals. The D-class amplifier includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit, a signal processing circuit and a driving amplifier circuit. The PWM circuit receives the set of analog signals and converts them into a set of PWM signals with identical phase. The signal processing circuit generates a set of pulse signals which are attached to the set of PWM signals respectively. The driving amplifier circuit is coupled between the signal processing circuit and the two-terminal load. The driving amplifier circuit receives and amplifies the set of PWM signals. According to the set of PWM signals, the driving amplification circuit drives the two-terminal in a filterless way.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2009Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Amazing Microelectronic Corp.Inventors: Ming-Hsiung Chen, Shang-Shu Chung, Tung-Sheng Ku

Patent number: 7852156Abstract: A Class-D power amplifier having a distortion-suppressing function includes a gain control unit, a first PWM unit, a second PWM unit, a current control unit, and a level control unit. The level control unit includes at least one D flip-flop and at least one XNOR gate. The D flip-flop has an output end coupled with the gain control unit and an R end coupled with an output end of the XNOR gate. When the Class-D power amplifier has its positive output end and negative output end respectively and simultaneously outputting a high-level signal and a low-level signal to the XNOR gate, the XNOR gate outputs the high-level signal to the D flip-flop. Then the D flip-flop outputs the high-level signal to the gain control unit as feedback for controlling the gain control unit to reduce audio gain, thereby suppressing audio distortion.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2009Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Amazing Microelectronic Corp.Inventors: Ming-Hsiung Chen, Shang-Shu Chung, Tung-Sheng Ku
