27 TH AES INTERNATIONA L CONFERENCE
Ef ficient Audio Power Amplification
Hillerød, Copenhagen, Denmark
September 2–4, 2005

he magnificent castle pictured above, Frederiksborg Slot, is only a short distance northwest
of Copenhagen in the town of Hillerød, which
(at the nearby Pharmakon conference center)
will be the site of the AES 27th International
Conference, Efficient Audio Power Amplification,
September 2–4.
Linear (Class A/AB/B) amplification has been the standard
for power amplification for many decades. During the last ten
years, interest in higher efficiency power amplification has
increased, particularly in the audio industry. The major driving force has been the need to provide fresh opportunities in
audio design with the advantages that higher efficiency
potentially offers: higher power with increased power density, savings in energy and battery life, potential cost savings,
and even potential performance improvement in audio
reproduction.
The interest in this new field is global and includes all
major industrial segments, such as consumer electronics,
automotive audio, pro audio, and mobile devices. A
paradigm shift in power amplification seems to be underway.
Conference Chair Jan Abildgaard Pedersen and his committee have forged a conference program that will present an
overview of the current state-of-the-art in a broad perspective
and address many of the new scientific disciplines involved
in this emerging field.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS

The concepts and design aspects of all-digital openloop audio power amplifiers, based on multilevel
power converters, are presented. Innovative modulation techniques to reduce harmonic distortion of this
type of amplifiers are also presented. A prototype of a
digital multilevel audio power amplifier has been
developed, implemented, and tested. THD plus noise performance comparisons between some class A, AB, and D
amplifiers are presented. Results show that the proposed
digital audio power amplifier can be a promising solution
for a high-quality digital audio power amplifier.

Efficient Audio Power Amplification—Challenges
Keynote Speaker Michael A. E. Andersen, 27th
Conference Papers Chair
For more than a decade efficient audio power amplification has
evolved and today switch-mode audio power amplification in
various forms are the state-of-the-art. The technical steps that
lead to this evolution are described and in addition many of the
challenges still to be faced and where extensive research and
development are needed is covered.

PAPER SESSION 1: INVITED PAPER
1-1 The Industrial Dynamics of Open Innovation:
Evidence from the Transformation of Sound
Amplification from Linear Solid-State to Class D
Technology—Jens Frøslev Christensen, Michael
Holm Olesen, Jonas Sorth Kjær, Copenhagen
Business School, Frederiksberg, Denmark
This paper addresses how the open innovation concept,
as recently coined by Henry Chesbrough, can be analyzed from an industrial dynamics perspective. The main
proposition of the paper is that the specific modes in
which different companies manage open
innovation in regard to an emerging technology reflect
their differential position within the innovation system in
question and the stage of maturity of the technology. The
proposition is analyzed through an in-depth study of the
current transformation of sound amplification from linear
solid-state technology to switched or digital technology
within the consumer electronics system of innovation.

PAPER SESSION 2: POWER STAGE TOPOLOGIES
2-1

A 97 Percent Efficiency Power Stage Design for
High Performance Class D Audio Amplification—
René Lambruschi, Nicola Lomuto, Frédérik Dezé,
CL3, Pontoise, France
An innovative solution of switching power conversion is
introduced, and its benefits on class D audio amplifiers
is demonstrated. The smart association of a high side
N MOSFET and a low side P MOSFET in the power
stage combines the dynamic parameters of the two
MOSFETS, so that only one drive signal is used and
the risk due to skew and unmatched thresholds is eliminated. No dead time is needed, therefore lowering
distortion and allowing high efficiency (97 percent and
more). Exceptional sound reproduction and scale integration in an enclosed environment are permitted. The
proposed architecture is patent pending and will be
referred to as Gemincore.

Self-Oscillating Modulators for Direct Energy
Conversion Audio Power Amplifiers—Petar Ljusev,
Michael A. E. Andersen, Technical University of
Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark
Direct energy conversion of an audio power amplifier
represents the total integration of a switching-mode
power supply and class D audio power amplifier into
one compact stage, achieving high efficiency, high
level of integration, low component count, and eventually low cost. This paper presents how self-oscillating
modulators can be used with the direct switching-mode
audio power amplifier to improve its performance by
providing fast hysteretic control with high power supply
rejection ratio, open-loop stability, and high bandwidth.
Its operation is thoroughly analyzed, and experimental
results from a prototype amplifier are presented.

PAPER SESSION 3: MODULATION AND CONTROL
3-1

Taking Advantage of Improved Digital Signal
Processing Techniques to Reduce the
Implementation Complexities of HighPerformance, High Efficiency Digital Amplifiers
[Invited Paper]—SkipTaylor, D2Audio, Austin, TX, USA
With the recent move from the classical PWM amplifier
approaches, which employ a hysteretic comparator
technology to the newer emerging sigma-delta techniques, there is increased interest and motivation to
revisit the strategic importance of high performance
switching amplifiers. The new modulation techniques
have found their way into the newer, low-profile,
“lifestyle” systems in the home theater and whole house
audio markets where single-chip and two-chip designs
offer a manageable solution. However, the limited performance and power levels of the initial offerings have
fallen short of the requirements of the more challenging
high-end home theater applications and other market
segments where a more audiophile quality is desired.
Out of necessity, the requirements for these more
demanding markets will dictate an ability to manage and
tame discrete output drivers, output stages, and output

27 th International Conference Progr am
filters in a very scalable implementation. The trade-offs
between seemingly contradictory design considerations
(EMI, efficiency, performance, cost) force the need to
take an innovative and more system-centric approach to
the amplifier design. This paper addresses a unique and
previously unrealized technique of using advanced
adaptive digital signal processing technology and amplifier system modeling to assure not only the performance
of the legacy linear analog solutions, but also a very
cost-effective system realization. This technique is presented as it relates to the total system implementation
and as it integrates into the graceful fault protection
methods that have come to be expected in these applications. It includes descriptions of the critical circuit
blocks, the software/firmware algorithms and techniques, and the final amplifier topology. Results are
shown that illustrate both the performance improvements and the reduction in complexity of the total system design.

Traditionally, the dynamics of continuous-time PWM
loops are analyzed by using linearized continuous-time
models where the comparator is modeled as a linear
gain. However, this method fails to accurately explain
several important characteristics such as noise aliasing, image components, and loop stability. This paper
analyzes the sampling nature of the comparator and
derives a general linear discrete-time loop small-signal
model that can be applied to loops of any order—both
driven (synchronized) and free running (self-oscillating).

Derivation and Analysis of a Low-Cost, HighPerformance Analog BPCM Control Scheme for
Class D Audio Power Amplifiers—Mikkel C. W.
Høyerby, Michael A. E. Andersen, Technical
University of Denmark, Lingby, Denmark
This paper presents a low-cost analog control scheme
for class D audio power amplifiers. The scheme is
based around bandpass current-mode (BPCM) control
and provides ample stability margins and low distortion
over a wide range of operating conditions. Implementation is very simple and does not require the use of
operational amplifiers. Small-signal behavior of the
controller is accurately predicted, and design is carried
out using standard transfer function based linear control methodology. Effectiveness of the approach is
demonstrated via a 60-W/8-W single-ended switching
amplifier with THD+N of typically 0.02 percent.

Design Criteria for Ultra Low Distortion Open Loop
PWM Output Stages [Invited Paper]—Brian E.
Attwood, PWM Systems
A previous paper by the author (JAES November 1983)
looked at various distortion mechanisms in switching
amplifiers and discussed circuit topologies to overcome
these limitations. While the basic content of this paper
still applies today, advances in semiconductors and the
developing area of fully digital amplifiers for DVD, SACD,
and AV markets means that a fresh look should be taken
at consistently achieving the lowest possible open loop
system performance. Since digital amplifiers (those with
no input A/D converters) are operating totally in the digital domain, overall feedback becomes a much more
complex issue compared to conventional analog (Class
D) pwm systems where 30 dB can be readily achieved.
Some solutions have been proposed that look very
promising at the moment; however, most currently available digital switching amplifiers are still operating under
open loop conditions. Under these circumstances it
becomes essential to achieve the best possible system
linearity, and since most predominant distortion mechanisms will occur in the power output stage this is the area
that will be fully considered. In order to help digital feedback systems techniques evolve, another factor will also
become important, that of successfully operating at
higher switching frequencies. This reduces phase shifts
and will help extend feedback loop gains to the higher
audio frequencies. The proposed paper thus seeks to
define all the necessary steps to achieve good output
stage linearity not only at 384 KHz, but also at 768 KHz
and even higher, combined with high efficiency. This will
then lay the groundwork for optimal performance both for
open loop and feedback systems alike. Components and
semiconductors need to be chosen very carefully, particularly when operating at the higher frequencies, and
some parameters, which are of crucial importance are
not usually quoted or even mentioned in most manufacturers data sheets. As an example, the
intrinsic internal gate resistance Rg of Mosfets is rarely
mentioned or quoted, yet this is very important to fully
optimize circuit switching characteristics. So the criteria
needed to ensure optimum selection of semiconductors
for a particular application and supply rail will also feature
prominently in the paper.

In this paper a method for minimizing the total harmonic distortion (THD) is presented for a class D output stage by optimizing a loop filter. A second-order filter is chosen to create large error suppression through
the audio band while keeping the overall system complexity low. The stability of the optimized loop is examined to ensure proper operation. SIMULINK simulations are given to verify the theory introduced.

PAPER SESSION 4: ERRORS AND DISTORTION

The development of real-time power supply feedback
for an all-digital class D PWM amplifier enables the
use of many different power conversion techniques
allowing a greater number of alternatives to meet system demand requirements. With a typical voltage ripple
rejection of 40dB at 60Hz, an all-digital PWM amplifier
with this PSR compensation can achieve better than
105dB system dynamic range and a total harmonic distortion plus noise measurement of 0.1 percent. The
system performance of the real-time PSR feedback is
discussed and evaluated for a half-bridge and fullbridge amplifier output stage powered from a low cost
unregulated linear power supply.

An audio class D converter has nonlinear distortion provided by power stage. In fact, the PWM inverter is influ- ➥

enced by the switching dead time introduced by the
power output control system. If output capacitance is
added, the audio quality is improved. In this paper the
interaction between the dead time effect and the output
stage capacitance is investigated. At first, each effect is
investigated separately. Then, the sum of the effects is
analyzed to predict the improvement of audio quality.
Finally, the calculated results are compared with low level
simulation in order to confirm the validity of the analysis.

Time Domain Analysis of Open Loop Distortion
in Class D Amplifier Output Stages—Flemming
Nyboe,1,2 Lars Risbo1, Pietro Andreant2
1Texas Instruments, Lyngby, Denmark
2Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark
During the long history of class AB amplifiers, many
topology improvements have been developed with the
aim of reducing open-loop THD. As class D amplifiers
become widely used, a new learning of such improvements is needed, since the basic distortion mechanisms are very different from those of class AB amplifiers. This is even more important with class D
designs because the very high feedback loop gains
seen in class AB designs is not always achievable in
class D designs. In some cases no feedback is used
at all, because it cannot easily be applied to digital
input systems at low cost. This paper analyzes the
nature of different contributors to THD in class D output stages. It is shown how large-signal transfer
characteristic analysis can be applied to individual
parts of a PWM output signal, to help identify problems and optimize a design for minimum THD.

level of system integration is presented. The typical
dynamic range in a well-designed system is better than
110 dB and 115 dB is possible in a parallel coupling
setup. Including the Power Supply Volume Control
(PSVC) feature additional 24 dB dynamic range is possible at normal listening levels in a typical application.

A 20-W per channel, analog input, class D amplifier is

Among these innovations is a novel Operational

greatly reduces pops and clicks at startup and a special clipping recovery circuit that reduces clipping
distortion. The design tradeoffs and the silicon results
are also presented.

Commercializing Class D Amplifier Technologies
—Paul Mathews, Philip R. Jeffs, Rane Corporation,
Mukilteo, WA, USA
The popularity of commercial audio systems having
large numbers of channels has resulted in a growing
demand for smaller, lighter, and less expensive multichannel power amplifier products. This paper
describes how careful integration of power factor corrected switchmode power supplies, class D power
amplifiers, and digital signal processors yields high
power density and especially reliable and electromagnetically quiet products at a reasonable cost.

Comparison Between Different IDDQ Measurement
Techniques on Class D Audio Amplifiers—VictorHugo Lopez de Nava, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX,
USA
During the IDDQ test on class D audio amplifiers, it is
very common to have a higher current measurement
on the Automated Test Equipment (ATE) than on
bench. This is an issue that is always present on the
ATE-to-bench correlation process. In order to overcome this issue, test engineers have come up with
several techniques or compensation methods to help
reduce the measurement differences between ATE
and bench. Some of these methods are discussed in
the next sections.

Measuring Distortion in Switching Amplifiers—
Bruce Hofer, Audio Precision, Inc., Beaverton, OR,
USA
The distortion performance of switching amplifiers
(a.k.a. “Class-D” amplifiers) has rapidly improved in
recent years. Unfortunately they still exhibit a form
of high-frequency nonlinearity that is not clearly
revealed by traditional THD+N and SMPTE-IMD
tests. The Twin-Tone IMD measurement technique
provides an excellent way to measure this form of
distortion.

Click and Pop Measuring Technique—Tomas
Bruunshuus Sørensen, Texas Instruments Denmark
A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark
During various occasions a digital amplifier can generate
a click or a pop. The click is generated at changes of the
operational modes of the amplifier, e.g., charging of
capacitors or mute / unmute. For class D amplifier systems click is typically at PWM start and stop. The audibility of a click is very dependent on the system, amplifier,
and speaker. Also, perception of the click is subjective.
This makes it difficult to compare the
results from two different systems. This paper specifies a
measurement technique, which can be used for all systems and makes results comparable, and give
limits to what is acceptable in an end application. The
described measurement technique applies to all
systems, which have a start up sequence of less than 1
ms. For Purepath systems this applies to TAS5026,
TAS5036, TAS5066, TAS5076, TAS5028, TAS5508,
and TAS5518. Measurements on 2 EVM’s TAS50665121K6EVM and TAS5508-5121K6EVM are shown for
reference.
