DESCRIPTION
(continued)
In fact it's permits to build a BASH® architectur e ampl ifier adding onl y few external components and a va riable
Buck regulator tracking the audio signal. Notice that normally only one Buck regulator is used to supply a multichannel amplifiers sys tem , therefore most of the functions implemented in the cir c uit have a summing output
pin.
The signal circuits are bias ed by fixed negative and posi tive voltages r eferred to Ground. Instead the final stages of the output amplifiers are supplied by two external voltages that are following the audio signal . In this way
the headroom for the output transistors is kept at minimum level to obtain a high efficiency power amplifier.
The circuit contains all the blocks to build a configurable four channel amplifier.
The tracking signal for the external Buck regulator is generated from the Absolute Value Block (AVB) that rec-
tifies the audio signal. The outputs of these bl ocks are decoupled by a diode to per mit an easy sum of this si gnal
for the multichannel application. The gain of the stage AVB is equal to 70 ( +36.9 dB). A sophisticated circuit
performs the output transistor power detector that , with the buck regulator, reduces the power supply voltage .
Moreover, a maximum current output limiting and the over temperature sensor have been added to protect the
circuit itself. The external voltage applied to the STBY/MUTE pin forces the two amplifiers in the proper condition to guarantee a silent turn-on and turn-off.
