Camenzind: Designing Analog Chips

Chapter 14: Power

This is an idealized concept which does not really work in practice. It is very difficult to switch from one device to the other without either leaving a gap or having both devices conduct at the same time. The result is distortion, which becomes very noticeable at low signal levels.

The solution is a compromise: allow a small idle current so that the amplifier works in a class A mode with small signals and gradually moves to class B as the signal increases. This operation is called Class AB.

available); with a 5.8 Watt output capability (requiring peak currents of 1.2A) this is no minor consideration.

To deliver the high output current, the upper stage (Q8, Q10) uses a Darlington configuration. Q9 serves to by-pass leakage current at high temperature.

The lower output stage has the identical Darlington connection plus a PNP transistor. The entire four-transistor block behaves like a PNP transistor. (All PNP transistors in this circuit are fairly large, capable of carrying 3mA).

There are three base-emitter junctions between the base of Q6 and the base of Q11. Between these two nodes a voltage is provided which causes a few hundred microamperes of idle current to flow through the two output transistors. This is done with the current I2 and transistors Q6 and Q7. The VBE of Q6 is increased with the resistor divider R5/R6 to the point where the desired current is reached. Notice that Q6 tracks the VBEs of Q8 and Q10 and Q7 tracks that of Q11.

It is often argued that, in audio applications, peak power is rarely required and so the heat sink for the amplifier can be reduced in size. Unfortunately, in a class B (or AB) amplifier, peak dissipation occurs not at peak output, but at about 50% of maximum power.

The design of figure 14-29 requires a split power supply. There

are two ways to avoid this. We could convert the -12V connection to ground, make Vcc 24 Volts, bias the input at 1/2 Vcc and couple the speaker through a capacitor. The only problem with this approach is the size of the new capacitor: 2000uF to get a 3dB drop-off at 10Hz.

A better solution is the Bridge Output. In essence there are two amplifiers, 180 degrees out of phase. With no input signal, both output rest at 1/2 Vcc. As the signal appears, one output moves up, the other one down.

In this configuration we have in fact doubled the output swing. With the same total supply voltage, 25 Watts of output are generated (which requires four output transistors with a capability of 2.5A each). Efficiency is unchanged at 62%, which produces a power dissipation of 15.3 Watts.

Fig. 14-41: Pulse-width modulated circuit with more practical component models. The diodes are now required to absorb the voltage spikes.

Alas, if we only had ideal components. In reality the switches have resistance and significant switching times. In addition, as pointed out on page 14-9, they require painfully large drive power.

In figure 14-41 the models are changed to represent more practical components. The switch resistances, for example, result in larger and unequal voltage drops (200mV for an N- channel transistor, 300mV for

a P-channel one). In addition there is a small dead-time to avoid both devices being "on" at the same time. This dead-time creates a voltage spike from the inductor, which makes D1 and D2 necessary.

These small imperfections have a significant impact on the fidelity of the output signal: distortion increases to 1%.

Unless we use faster switching transistors with lower voltage drops and better matching, the

complicated.

We could, of course, increase the switching frequency, which would allow us to push the cutoff frequency of L1 and C1 higher, but the penalty would be lower efficiency and an increase in drive requirements for the switching transistors.

We have been assuming that we want a faithful (albeit larger) reproduction of the input signal at the load. Strictly speaking, this is not really true. In the case of an audio amplifier, the human ear cannot hear 200kHz, so filtering out high frequencies makes little difference. If the application is a servo amplifier, the load is unlikely to respond to such rapid fluctuations.

But there is radiation. Do we want to connect a square-wave of 200kHz (and its harmonics) across a long speaker cable and let it radiate into AM receivers and other electronic equipment? The answer is a clear no, and rules and regulations limiting such radiation have been written.

There are ways to reduce radiation. First, we can keep the speaker wires short, moving the amplifier next to the speaker. Second we can vary the switching frequency in a random fashion, creating a spread spectrum. Although this does not reduce the total radiation, it at least makes it less noticeable and allows meeting radiation limits.

The third way suppresses the fundamental of the switching frequency and provides a substantial (and real) improvement. It requires a bridge output, which also greatly increases the available output power for a given speaker impedance and supply voltage.

Fig. 14-44: Class D amplifier with bridge output.

In figure 14-44 there are four switches. S1 and S4 are always "on" and "off" together, as are S2 and S3. Thus the load is either connected to +V on the left side and -V on the right, or vice versa. This effectively doubles the supply voltage and the amplifier can deliver 25 Watts into an 8-Ohm load. There are four large output transistors, however, each of which must carry up to 2.5

Amperes.

If we apply 40 Volts total and use a 4-Ohm speaker, the output power grows to 196 Watts (and the peak current in the four output devices to 10 Amperes).

The output spectrum is unchanged. Despite the two inductors and the filter capacitor there is the same large radiation at the fundamental switching frequency (200kHz).

But now let's change the circuit a little. Instead of having the two outputs move in opposite

direction, invert one of the drives so that they move up an down together. If the input signal is zero, the two outputs will move at exactly the same time. Each output then carries a 200kHz square-wave, but between them there is no signal. As the input signal goes positive, the duty-cycle of one output increases while the duty-cycle of the other output decreases by the same amount. Thus, between the two outputs, there is now a square-wave with a duty cycle amounting to the difference.
