Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of adjusting the frequency or phase of operation of a Class-D amplifier is disclosed. The method comprises making a series of step changes in the frequency or phase to adjust the frequency or phase from a start value to a desired end value, each step change in frequency or phase causing a corresponding disturbance of an output of the Class-D amplifier to produce a series of disturbances, each of which varies from an initial magnitude in first and second senses to exhibit a first peak and then in the first sense to exhibit a second peak. The time between the step changes is selected so that the second peak of each disturbance other than a final disturbance in the series overlaps the first peak of an immediately succeeding disturbance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of adjusting the frequency or phase of operation of a Class-D amplifier, the method comprising: making a series of step changes in one of the frequency and the phase to adjust the frequency or phase from a start value to a desired end value, each step change in frequency or phase causing a corresponding disturbance of an output of the Class-D amplifier to produce a series of disturbances, each of which varies from an initial magnitude with a f…
