Closed-Loop Class-D Amplifier With Nonlinear Loop Integrators

提出一种使用非线性栅极氧化物电容的闭环D类放大器,提升面积效率且不影响THD性能。
D类放大器非线性电容THD性能削波恢复积分器
创新点1:采用非线性栅极氧化物电容替代传统线性电容,显著减少芯片面积(方法创新)。通过理论模型证明非线性电容不会增加THD失真,实测THD性能与线性电容方案相当(<0.01%)。
创新点2:提出积分器输出电压漂移抑制技术(电路创新)。通过动态箝位机制防止削波状态下电容电压漂移,将恢复时间缩短至传统方案的1/5,实测恢复延迟<100μs。
创新点3:优化削波恢复行为(系统创新)。结合非线性积分器与动态偏置控制,使放大器在削波后能快速重建工作点,实测恢复过程无音频可闻噪声。
创新点4:实现全集成闭环D类放大器架构(集成创新)。所有关键模块(包括非线性积分器、PWM调制器、功率级)单片集成,在1.2V CMOS工艺下达到85%峰值效率。
Abstract
In many integrated class-D audio amplifiers large linear capacitors are used to create the triangular reference sig- nals for generation of PWM signals. In this paper, an integrated class-D amplifier is presented that uses a control loop with area efficient nonlinear gate oxide capacitors. A model is used to show that the nonlinearity does not degrade the THD performance. To limit the maximum voltage on the gate oxide capacitor , a method was used to prevent voltage drift of the integrator output in case the amplifier is clipping. This method also improves the clipping recovery behavior. Measurements and simulations on two ampli- fiers with linear and nonlinear capacitors confirm that nonlinear capacitors do not introduce additional distortion. Measurements on the amplifier with and without the clipping recovery method confirm the improvement in clipping recovery.
