Abstract

A digital input class-D audio amplifier is presented for digital hearing aid. The class-D audio amplifier is composed of digital and analog circuits. The analog circuit converts a digital input to a analog audio signal (DAC) with noise suppression in the audio band. An interpolated digital delta-sigma modulator is used to convert data types between digital signal processor (DSP) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC). An 16-bit, 25-kbps pulse code modulated (PCM) input is interpolated to 16-bit, 50-kbps by a digital filter. The output signal of interpolation filter is noise-shaped by a third-order digital sigma-delta modulator (SDM). As a result, 1.5-bit, 3.2-Mbps signal is applied to simple digital to analog converter.

디지털 입력 D급 증폭기는 보청기에서 사용되고 있으며 D급 증폭기는 디지털 회로와 아날로그 회로로 구성되어진다. 아날로그 회로는 가청 주파수 대역에서 잡음을 억제하고 디지털 입력을 아날로그 신호로 변환한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 인터폴레이티드 디지털 델타-시그마 변조기는 디지털 신호 처리기의 출력 신호를 D/A 변조기 입력에 적합하도록 데이터를 변조시킨다. 디지털 필터는 16-bit, 25-kbps 펄스 코드 변조 신호를 16-bit, 50-kbps 신호로 보간 작업을 한다. 이 보간 필터 출력은 3차 디지털 델타-시그마 변조기를 통하여 노이즈 쉐이핑(noise shaping) 처리된다. 최종적으로, 1.5-bit, 3.2-Mbps 신호가 D/A 변조기 입력으로 인가된다.
