DESCRIPTION
(continued)
Notice that normally only one Digital Converter is needed to supply a stereo or multi-channel amplifier system,
therefore most of the functions implemented in the circuit have summing outputs
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 Compressor circuits, one for each channel, performs a particular transfer behavior to avoid the dynamic
restriction that an adaptive system like this requires. To have a high flexibility the attack / release time and the
threshold levels are exter nal ly progr ammable. The tracking s ignal for the ex ter nal digita l converter is generated
from the Absolute Value block that rectifies the audio signal present at the compressor output. The outputs of
these blocks are decoupled by a diode to permit an easy sum of this signal for the mult ichannel application. The
output power bridges have a dedicated input pin to perform an AC decoupling to cancel the compressor output
DC offset. The gain of the stage is equal to 4 (+12dB). A sophis ticated circuit performs the output transistor power detector that , with the digital converter, 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 turnon and turn-off.
