201105027 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種功率放大器,尤指具有限制功率功 能之功率放大器及其限制該功率放大器功率之方法。 【先前技術】201105027 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a power amplifier, and more particularly to a power amplifier having a power limiting function and a method of limiting the power of the power amplifier. [Prior Art]

習知技術之功率放大器可分為D類功率放大器及AB 類功率放大器,D類功率放大器係輸出脈衝調變訊號,ab 類功率放大器係輸出線性訊號,其中,D類功率放大器具 有較高效率之優點’因此,D類功率放大器已成為功率放 大器之代名詞。 凊參閱第一圖,係習知技術之D類功率放大器之電路 結構圖,係為一種由正輸出端與負輸出端構成雙端輸出之 類功率放大器,其優點在於使用雙端輸出來驅動一揚聲 器3〇7,係可增加驅動之功率,使該揚聲器川7可更有效 率地播放音頻。 上述雙端輸出之D類功率放大器,以單端來敘述其工 作方式,係為:一音訊自Vin端輸入一運算放大器3〇1, 〇曰訊藉由該運算放大器30卜電阻R16及電容Cinl所組 成之積分器之特性’而形成自我振盪之一三角波訊號,且, 透過RllU輸入一方波訊號Vsquarel至該運算放大器301, 、同步該—角波訊號之頻率,接著,透過一比較器302輸 出脈衝調變訊號至一前置驅動器3〇5,該前置驅動器3〇5 201105027 基於该脈衝調變訊號,係可控制輸出端之一功率CMOS電 路3 06之開關,以輸出訊號驅動該揚聲器3〇7。 上述係已說明習知技術之D類功率放大器之電路結構 與其工作方式,習知技術之D類功率放大器之優點在於使 用方波訊號之輸入,以控制輸出信號之載波頻率,且,方 波電路之設計遠比傳統所使用之三角波電路之設計更簡單 容易,節省了 1C設計中的電路空間,因而可降低電路佈局 之成本’然而’由該D類放大器之正輸出端與負輸出端輸 出訊號之雙端輸出之設計,雖可增加驅動負載(揚聲器) 之功率’但若無限制功率放大之電路裝置,負載端則可能 因為無法承受過大之輸出功率而損毀。The power amplifier of the prior art can be classified into a class D power amplifier and a class AB power amplifier, a class D power amplifier outputs a pulse modulation signal, and an ab power amplifier outputs a linear signal, wherein the class D power amplifier has higher efficiency. Advantages - Therefore, Class D power amplifiers have become synonymous with power amplifiers. Referring to the first figure, the circuit structure diagram of a class D power amplifier of the prior art is a power amplifier composed of a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal, and has the advantage of using a double-ended output to drive a power amplifier. The speaker 3〇7 can increase the power of the drive, so that the speaker 7 can play audio more efficiently. The above-mentioned double-ended output class D power amplifier describes its working mode in a single-ended manner, which is: an audio input from the Vin terminal is an operational amplifier 3〇1, and the operation is performed by the operational amplifier 30, the resistor R16 and the capacitor Cinl. Forming a triangular wave signal of self-oscillation, and inputting a square wave signal Vsquare1 to the operational amplifier 301 through RllU, synchronizing the frequency of the angular wave signal, and then outputting through a comparator 302 Pulse modulation signal to a pre-driver 3〇5, the pre-driver 3〇5 201105027 is based on the pulse modulation signal, can control one of the output power CMOS circuit 306 switch, and output the signal to drive the speaker 3 〇7. The above has explained the circuit structure of the class D power amplifier of the prior art and its working mode. The advantage of the D-class power amplifier of the prior art is that the input of the square wave signal is used to control the carrier frequency of the output signal, and the square wave circuit The design is much simpler and easier than the traditional triangular wave circuit design, which saves the circuit space in the 1C design, thus reducing the cost of the circuit layout. 'However, the signal is output from the positive and negative outputs of the class D amplifier. The design of the double-ended output can increase the power of the driving load (speaker). However, if the circuit device without power amplification is limited, the load terminal may be damaged due to the inability to withstand excessive output power.

因此,本案之發明人有鑑於習知技術之D類功率放大 器仍具各項隱含之缺失,故極力加以改良創新,終^^ 發完成本發明之一種改良之功率放大器及限制該功率放大 在於提供一種改良之功率放大 之電路裝置,可防止因為輸出功 本發明之主要目的 率過高,而導致負載損毀之情事。Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have invented the implied defects of the class D power amplifiers of the prior art, and therefore strive to improve and innovate, and finally complete an improved power amplifier of the present invention and limit the power amplification.
