Abstract

Provided are input-gain control apparatus and method of an audio amplifier. A gain of an acoustic signal is automatically attenuated based on a pre-set limited level to minimize distortion of the acoustic signal caused by clipping of the acoustic signal, and thereby limit an over-input of the acoustic signal to input the acoustic signal within a dynamic range if the acoustic signal is not input within the dynamic range in an audio apparatus including an acoustic amplifier and a switching amplifier. Thus, only a gain of an over-input signal on a specific level or more can be attenuated while an original form of the over-input signal is maintained to minimize distortion of an output waveform caused by clipping of the output waveform. Also, a harmonic distortion and a stepped high frequency noise occurring during clipping can be simultaneously removed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input gain control device and method of an audio amplifier. More particularly, the present invention relates to an input gain control apparatus and method of an audio amplifier, in an audio apparatus including an acoustic amplifier and a switching amplifier, if an acoustic signal is not input within a dynamic range, the apparatus and method are based on a priori The set limit level automatically cuts the gain of the acoustic signal to minimize the distortion of the acoustic signal due to the clipping of the acoustic signal, and limits the excessive input of the acoustic signal to input the acoustic signal within the dynamic range. Background technique [0002] Typically, an analog-to-digital (A-D) class-D amplifier circuit performs pulse-width modulation (PWM) on an acoustic signal to convert the acoustic signal into a digital signal type, amplifies the digital signal, and passes the amplified digital signal through a low-pa...
