Further specify the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, the invention discloses the application of current mode technology in sound technique, so-called current-mode high-fidelity audio frequency power amplifier is meant with electric current as variable, a kind of novel power amplifier of in current field signal being handled.This amplifier is made up of several parts such as input buffering level A1, second generation current transmission device CCII, trans-impedance amplifier I/V, output buffer stage A2, negative feedback network and integrating circuit, and circuit is at different levels all to constitute transconductance linearity (Transliner-TL) loop; Trans-impedance amplifier is a core by building-out capacitor C3, C11, constitutes in conjunction with current transmission device and buffering output stage, and the end of building-out capacitor C3 exchanges ground connection, between the input of the output of another termination current transmission device of building-out capacitor C3 and buffering output stage; Negative feedback network is made up of resistance R 39 and resistance R 41, one end ground connection of resistance R 39, the output of a termination of resistance R 41 buffering output stage, the inverting input that is connected the termination current transmission device of resistance R 39 and resistance R 41, the span of resistance R 41 is 1-2K Ω, and optimum value is 1.21K Ω.
Input signal is sent into CCII second generation current transmission device after being cushioned by A1 input buffering level.Wherein Y is the voltage loader, and X is a current input terminal, is zero input impedance, and the electric current of Low ESR X input will all be sent to high impedance output Z.Simultaneously, the Z end also is the input of transimpedance amplifier I/V, and in the time of dynamically, the high impedance of utilization ' Z ' point is transformed into voltage with the output current IZ of CCII.At last, utilize the output stage A2 buffering output of having only current gain.
Be subjected to the inspiration of classical current-mode amplifier architecture in the field of information processing, design experiences in conjunction with traditional high-fidelity audio frequency power amplifier, and a series of measures below having taked, make the current-mode amplifying technique in high-fidelity audio frequency power amplifier, obtain science and use, improved the performance of amplifier breakthroughly.
1. the upper and lower constant-current source of input stage realizes that by the Widlar current mirror that triode Q1, Q2 and Q12, Q14 form the resistance that changes series resistance R12, R24 in triode Q1, the Q2 common collector can be regulated the quiescent current of input stage easily respectively.Resistance R 12, R24 Standard resistance range are respectively 33-100, and optimum value is 72, and the Widlar current mirror can be guaranteed high stability, low noise and the high current gain of input stage.During the pcb board design, Q1, Q2 and Q12, Q14 are installed respectively face-to-face, make it reach good temperature-compensating, improve the stability of input stage.
2. current-mode high-fidelity audio frequency power amplifier requires the device absolute symmetry, otherwise that the stability of amplifier work will become will be very poor.But be subjected to the influence of device fabrication, absolute symmetry is impossible realize.For this reason, all add emitting stage Current Negative Three-Point Capacitance resistance in the amplifier signal treatment circuit, for each transistor, as resistance R 1, R2, R13, R14 etc.Improved the stability of amplifier greatly.
3. insert building-out capacitor C3, C11 between the b of buffering output stage triode Q6, Q18, the c utmost point, come the frequency response and the switching rate of resonance-amplifier by the capacity of regulating building-out capacitor C3, C11, the range of capacity of building-out capacitor C3, C11 is respectively 15-100Pf, and optimum value is 30Pf.
4. current-mode amplifier offset voltage is big, and is dangerous to audio amplifier.It is core that the author has introduced with integrated circuit (IC) 1 (NE5532), comprises the integrator of peripheral circuit, and offset voltage is dropped to below the ideal value.
5. current-mode amplifier common mode inhibition capacity is poor, and it is the prime power supply that the author has adopted the outstanding tandem stabilized voltage power supply of performance, and the front and back level is powered respectively.
6. in order to reduce the influence of load, adopt three grades of Darlington export structures, and multitube parallel, improved the load driving ability of current-mode high-fidelity power amplifier prime.
7. to be connected to triode Q10 be the V be multiple circuit of core to the input of buffering output stage, during installation triode Q10 also is contained on the radiator of output stage, variable resistor R19 is the quiescent current of scalable output stage between the base stage of adjusting triode Q10 and the emitter, and since the good effect temperature compensation of triode Q10 and output stage transistor, the work of having stablized output stage.The frequency response that current-mode high-fidelity power amplifier is widened amplifier significantly, we know that the audibility range of people's ear is 20Hz-20KHz, if but the performance of only investigating amplifier with the sine wave signal of 20KHz is irrational.At occurring in nature, waveform does not exist for sinusoidal wave pure tone, and this class sound only exists in the artificial test tone.People's ear is different with sinusoidal wave sensation to the square wave of 20KHz, illustrates that the high order harmonic component in the square-wave signal of 20KHz has contribution to the sense of hearing of people's ear.If with the square wave fourier expansion, can obtain the odd-multiple that frequency is a fundamental frequency, and the sine wave that its amplitude descends with the rising of frequency.
Square wave for 20KHz, if amplitude is cast out (for the amplifier of rated power 100W less than 1/50th harmonic components of first harmonic magnitude, the about 0.5V of the voltage magnitude of 51 subharmonic correspondences), then the highest multifrequency sinusoid composition of 20KHz square wave is about 1MHz, promptly should investigate the frequency response requirement of amplifier with the sine wave of 1MHz.
High-fidelity power amplifier of current mode has been realized ultrabroad band, and in the traditional electrical pressing mold amplifier, the impedance of requisite cascode voltage amplifier transistor load is very big, and Miller effect has had a strong impact on high frequency response, and amplifier accomplishes that the broadband amplification is by no means easy.In the current-mode amplifier, its circuit topological structure is different fully with traditional amplifier, influences that electric capacity is operated on the very low node of impedance between the transistor level of speed and bandwidth, and the RC time constant is minimum, according to document, and its closed loop-three dB bandwidth
BW F = 1 2 π C T R f
Only and negative feedback resistor R fWith the building-out capacitor C that inserts trans-impedance amplifier TRelevant.Like this, amplifier just can be accomplished ultrabroad band, the ultra-high frequency signal in the perfect replay music.This can guarantee the perfect characteristic of phase place, and this is the basic element that correct sound field is replayed.
High-fidelity power amplifier of current mode does not have the notion that gain bandwidth product is a constant, closed-loop bandwidth BW fDirectly and R fAnd C TProduct be inversely proportional to, with closed loop gain A UfIrrelevant, the GBW (gain bandwidth product) of the fidelity of electric current altitude touch in other words audio amplifier is big more than common electrical pressing mold amplifier, and not have GBW be the constraint of constant, realizes the independent regulation of gain and bandwidth.
Current-mode high-fidelity power amplifier is effectively avoided transient intermodulation, if high-frequency when output of handling zooming pulse and large amplitude with amplifier, except the bandwidth of amplifier, the characteristic that is called as switching rate also plays an important role.When input signal contained the very high transient pulse of speed, traditional amplifier was limited by the restriction to electric current of current source and load capacitance, and output just can not obtain due output voltage immediately, and input stage can not in time obtain due negative feedback voltage.In this moment, amplifier is in negative feedback open loop situations out of control, the instantaneous serious overload of input stage, and output causes the transition pulses transient distortion with serious slicing, this is called transient intermodulation.Transient intermodulation is given not feeling soon of " metallic sound ", causes the obvious deterioration of tonequality, is commonly called as to be " transistor sound ".The means of avoiding transient intermodulation of current trend are to adopt shallow negative feedback, local negative feedback even do not have the negative feedback design, but these or be not radical solving method, the cost of perhaps for this reason paying is high.
The current-mode power amplifier has been eliminated transient intermodulation, and the circuit structure of current-mode amplifier is different fully, does not have the restriction to electric current of current source and load capacitance.According to document, current-mode amplifier switching rate
S R = V O R f C T = 2 π V O BW f
With the input signal amplitude linear growth, during the large-signal input, the switching rate of current-mode amplifier is more much bigger than traditional amplifier.We can regulate negative feedback resistor R fWith building-out capacitor C TParameter, expand the bandwidth of amplifier significantly, realize the ultrahigh speedization of amplifier, thoroughly eliminate transient intermodulation, guaranteed that the current-mode amplifier has high-frequency signal low distortion play capability significantly.For example international top Denmark " Gui Feng " amplifier product all has the characteristic of super wealthy frequency range, has significantly strengthened amplifier to high speed transient Signal Processing ability.
The full power bandwidth of current-mode power amplifier approaches closed-loop bandwidth, with S RThe expression of substitution full power bandwidth,
BW P = S R 2 π V O = BW f
The full power bandwidth that is the current-mode amplifier approaches closed-loop bandwidth, has realized the high-performance power amplification of high-power, high frequency, low distortion.
