A class D digital audio amplifier with small size, low cost, and high quality is positively necessary in the multimedia era made of home theater system and the digital audio broadcasting (DAB). It is impossible to analyze the stability of the digital audio amplifier, which is based on the PWM signal processing. To solve this problem, the digital audio amplifier is analyzed using variable structure control theory which is one of nonlinear system theories. Moreover, the magnitude and the frequency of ripple signal, which generated by hysteresis in the comparator, is obtained using describing function which is useful to represent the input-output relation of nonlinear system.

A class D digital audio amplifier with small size, low cost, and high quality is positively necessary in the multimedia era. Since the digital audio amplifier is based on the PWM signal processing, it is improper to analyze the principle of signal generation using linear system theories. In this paper, a class D digital audio amplifier based ADSM (Advanced Delta-Sigma Modulation) is considered. We first model the digital audio amplifier and then explain the operation principle using variable structure control algorithm. Moreover, the ripple signal generated by the hysteresis in the comparator has a significant effect on the system performance. Thus, we present a method to find the magnitude and the frequency of the ripple signal using describing function. Finally, simulations and experiments are provided to show the validity of the proposed methods.

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.

This paper presents a high-efficiency digital class-D audio amplifier using a composite interpolation filter for portable audio devices. The proposed audio amplifier is composed of an interpolation filter, a delta-sigma modulator, and a class-D output stage. To reduce power consumption, the designed interpolation filter has an optimized composite structure that uses a direct-form symmetric and Lagrange FIR filters. Compared to the filters with homogeneous structures, the hardware cost and complexity are reduced by about half by the optimization. The coefficients of the digital delta-sigma modulator are also optimized for low power consumption. The class-D output stage has gate driver circuits to reduce shoot-through current. The implemented class-D audio amplifier exhibited a high efficiency of 87.8 % with an output power of 57 mW at a load impedance of $16{\Omega}$ and a power supply voltage of 1.8 V. An outstanding signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB and a total harmonic distortion plus noise of 0.03 % are achieved for a single-tone input signal with a frequency of 1 kHz.

A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

일반적으로 현재 사용하고 있는 홈시어터를 구성하기 위해서는 5.1 채널 이상의 아날로그 앰프를 주로 사용한다. 그러나 고성능의 시스템을 구성하기 위해서는 스피커의 출력이나 효율을 고려하여 음향 신호 처리를 디지털로 하는 것이 유리하다. 특히 음향을 효과적으로 분리하기 위해서는 7.1채널의 사용이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 홈시어터 스피커를 위한 S/PDIF 7.1 채널 디지털 앰프의 구조를 연구하고 설계하였다. S/PDIF 7.1 채널 디지털 앰프는 노이즈에 강하고 S/PDIF를 사용하여 디지털 데이터를 직접 입력받아서 처리하기 때문에 디지털 원음의 손실이 적은 우수한 성능을 보여주고 있다.

A new high efficiency and low profile on-board DC/DC converter for digital car audio amplifiers is proposed. The proposed converter shows low conduction loss due to the low voltage stress of the secondary diodes, a lack of DC magnetizing current for the transformer, and a lack of stored energy in the transformer. Moreover, since the primary MOSFETs are turned-on under zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) conditions and the secondary diodes are turned-off under zero-current-switching (ZCS) conditions, the proposed converter has minimized switching losses. In addition, the input filter can be minimized due to a continuous input current, and an output inductor is absent in the proposed converter. Therefore, the proposed converter has the desired features, high efficiency and low profile, for a viable power supply for digital car audio amplifiers. A 60W industrial sample of the proposed converter has been implemented for digital car audio amplifiers with a measured efficiency of $88.3\%$ at nominal input voltage.

This paper describes a design for a RF receiver to receive satellite digital audio service. The RF receiver designed in this study is a planar structure that is easy to install on the rooftop of a car and is compact in size. In addition, it can be applied to certain commercial models because it has low noise and high gain characteristics. The impedance bandwidth of antenna is 17.8%(415MHz), and the axial ratio is below 3dB as good properties for the bandwidth of 40MHz which is a satellite digital audio service band. Also, it had a broad radiation beamwidth of $95.41^{\circ}$ in H-plane and $117.45^{\circ}$ in E-plane. From the results of the field test of satellite digital audio service reception for the RF receiver, it demonstrated good C/N rate(10.2dB).
