Design of High Efficiency Digital Audio Power Amplifier Based on NBDD

Abstract: Digital audio power amplifiers are small in size, light in weight, and highly reliable, but they do not work ideally. In order to further improve the efficiency of digital power amplifier, the three-level natural sampling method (NBDD) pulse width modulation technology is introduced into the pulse width modulation design of digital power amplifier, and the Dead-Time technology is introduced into the design of switching amplifier. The optimized design of the digital audio power amplifier improves the distortion index of the whole machine, reduces the design order of the low-pass filter, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

0 Introduction In recent years, with the manifestation of digital advantages, many areas that have not yet been digitized are gradually being added to the ranks of digitization. The digitized speech signal must be D/A converted before it reaches the analog power amplifier to be amplified by the power amplifier. Therefore, from the perspective of fully digitalization, the power amplifier digitization mode is imperative.
Power amplifiers are usually classified into five categories according to their working states: Class A, Class AB, Class B, Class C, and Class D. Among them, the first four categories can directly input the analog audio signal directly, and the signal is used to push the speaker to sound after amplification. Class D amplifiers are special. They have only two states, on and off. Therefore, they cannot directly input analog audio signals. Instead, they need to transform the signals and then amplify them.
The digital audio power amplification technology adopts a new amplification system. The power amplifier tube works in the D-type switch state. Compared with the traditional analog power amplifier, it has a small volume, high power, and seamlessly combined with the digital sound source, which can effectively reduce the transmission between signals. Interference, high fidelity and other advantages have broad prospects for development.
In this paper, an optimal design scheme for high-efficiency digital power amplifier is proposed. The double-band natural sampling method (NBDD) pulse width modulation technology is introduced into the pulse width modulation design of digital power amplifier, which reduces the design order of low-pass filter and improves the design. Signal-to-noise ratio; by introducing Dead-Time technology into the design of the switching amplifier, the crosstalk loss and drain-source capacitance loss of the switching amplifier are reduced.

1 Optimization scheme realization principle This scheme uses two independent channels, which can complete the digital processing and power amplification of signals separately and simultaneously, and can be bridged into one channel for digital processing and power amplification of signals. Each channel works in the half-bridge mode of operation and can be bridged into a full-bridge mode of operation. The implementation principle is shown in Figure 1.

The input analog audio signal is first amplified by an isolation amplifier and low pass filtered. The low-pass filter uses a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 37 kHz and a 3 dB bandwidth of 22 kHz. The filtered signal is sent to the error amplifier together with the feedback audio signal for error amplification, and the amplified error audio signal is output. The amplified error signal and carrier signal are sent to a pulse width modulator, and NBDD modulation is performed to generate a PWM signal. The carrier signal is a high linearity analog triangular wave signal generated by a triangular wave generator, and the frequency is adjustable from 230 to 280 kHz. After the PWM signal is inserted into the Dead-Time, it is sent to the driver of the floating Power Supply and the bootstrap for pre-amplification. The amplified PWM signal drives the half-bridge switching amplifier composed of the FET to perform power amplification and output power PWM signal. The PWM signal amplified by the switching amplifier is sampled as a feedback signal and sent to the error amplifier. The power PWM signal is sent to a low pass filter to restore the analog audio signal. When you need to bridge the single-channel output, you only need to send the equal-amplitude inverted audio signal at the input of the two bridges, and connect the load to the output of the two bridges. In order to increase the reliability of the module, the design also takes into account the damage caused by various misoperations, and provides a fault indication function to help the whole machine find the problem in time and facilitate the module for maintenance.

2 NBDD modulation technology implementation The specific implementation of NBDD modulation technology is shown in Figure 2.

The input analog audio signal is first amplified by an isolation amplifier, and then sent to the error amplifier together with the feedback audio signal to output an amplified error audio signal. The amplified error signal and carrier signal are sent to a pulse width modulator for NBDD modulation. The carrier signal is a high linearity analog triangular wave signal generated by a triangular wave generator with a frequency of 230 to 280 kHz.
The focus here is on achieving high linearity triangular wave generators and high speed comparators. The nonlinearity of the triangular wave directly affects the linearity of the PWM modulator and the distortion of the whole machine. In order to restore the audio well, the PWM switching frequency cannot be lower than 200 kHz, so a high-speed comparator is required. The modulation method not only affects the performance specifications in the audio band, but also has a decisive influence on the high frequency radiation performance (EMC) of the amplifier system. Therefore, from the audio input to the pulse width coding completion link, the audio amplifier and error amplifier used should have high input impedance, low operating current, wide gain bandwidth, fast rising speed, good common mode rejection ratio, Low drift voltage and other technical indicators; the comparator should have fast response, low power consumption, and low input offset voltage.

3 Optimized design of switching amplifiers with Dead-Time The main feature of switching amplifiers is their high efficiency. Therefore, their optimized design should be mainly reflected in further reducing various types of losses and truly reflecting its high efficiency.
Through the principle of crosstalk loss, you can find a way to drive the gate drive voltage. After the upper tube is completely cut off, let the lower tube start to conduct. After the lower tube is completely cut off, let the upper tube start to conduct. This can reduce the collusion. Loss while reducing the junction capacitance Cds loss. In order to solve the crosstalk loss, the principle of "delay conduction, normal cutoff" between the two drive signals is called Dead-Time, and the principle is shown in FIG. The figure analyzes two N-channel field effect transistors operating on a switching arm.
