Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for minimizing performance degradation due to component mismatch in the feedback path of a digital PWM amplifier feedback loop. One embodiment comprises a digital pulse width modulated (PWM) amplifier with feedback. The amplification subsystem receives a digital audio signal and produces an analog output signal. The feedback loop produces a feedback signal based on the filtered analog output signal and modifies the digital audio signal based on the feedback signal. The feedback loop includes a filter configured to filter the analog output signal and correction circuitry configured to correct component mismatch errors introduced by the filter. In one embodiment, the correction circuitry receives a measurement of a power supply voltage, multiplies the measured voltage by a gain and adds the scaled measurement to the feedback signal to correct for the component mismatch errors.
