Abstract

See full text

A gain calibration controller and gain calibration method is described for calibrating the gain of a class D audio amplifier comprising an adjustable gain stage and a feedback path coupled to an output of a reconstruction filter. The gain calibration controller detects a first output noise level in a first frequency range and a second output noise level in a second higher frequency range, varies the gain of the adjustable gain stage, determines a minimum stable gain value of a stable gain range from a change in at least one of the first and second output noise level in response to varying the gain of the adjustable gain stage, and determines a maximum stable gain value of the stable gain range from a change in at least one of the first and second output noise level in response to varying the gain of the adjustable gain stage.
