In a conventional amplifier the input signal is amplified through various analog stages to a progressively higher amplitude. In the final stages of the amplifier, the output stage, high current capability is added to en
10、able the amplifier to drive loudspeaker loads. When current is drawn out of the output stage to the load, heat is dissipated in the output stages, since the load current multiplied with the voltage drop over the output device gives a power value (of average 60% of the max. output power) that needs t
11、o dissipate in heat sinks. 60% is not the power loss After the output devices the square wave need to be filtered with a choke and capacitor. This filter regenerates an analog signal that can be fed to the loudspeakers. The choke and capacitors quality is paramount in order to get a good sound quali
12、ty, so we use an oversized (1.5 kW) ultra high speed ferrite core with silver conductor and TEFLON insulator. This choke has a very low impedance (only 5 milli Ohms), and allows for a good damping factor in any speaker load. To get an output signal of say 30V, the output devices are made to switch h
13、igh 75% of time, and 25% of time low. In this case the Pulse Width is 75%. SinceV+ to V- voltage is 120V, the output voltage seen from V- is 75% of 120V = 90V as seen from the minus rail. Translating to 30V, above GND. (As wanted in our example. Operating from +60V to -60V allows for any output volt

A very important stage in a PWM amplifier is the modulator. It can be made i various ways, with different properties. We have selected and optimiz

So a 100 Watt amplifier will as average need to dissipate 60 Watts power into heat sinks. The ZAPpulse operates in a different way, the outpu
16、t devices are either off or on with no significant voltage drop. So even when the load draw large amounts of current, there is only minimal power to be dissipated. To control the signal amplitude, the pulse width of the output square wave is controlled very accurately. L C Audio Technology Inc Radio

18、ogy Inc. The heart of the ZAPpulse amplifier is a balanced integrating PWM modulator. It basicly integrates the DC level of one switching cycle of the output stage, including any switching noises, slope differences etc. Then this value is compared, and corrected in the next switching cycle to create
19、 an output signal of exactly 0 Volt. This correction is performed every switching cycle, which is about 500.000 times per second. The input signal is injected directly into the integrator to keep signal paths ultra short. No signal conditioning, such as DC blocking, HF blocking or other limiting fac
20、tors are present on the ZAPpulse module. So if this is required by your application, you have to add these functions outside the module. When signal is applied to the input, the integrator no longer corrects the output signal level to 0 Volts, but to the audio signal. The feedback group delay is kep
21、t very low, only around 1 uS, to allow for TIM free operation. The analog integrating feedback loop has a lower group delay of any completely digital (DSP based) feedback loop. And since output switching noise products are the same no matter the modulator type, the analog feedback loop gives a much
22、better rejection of noise products than a true digital approach. Its all about speed, and how fast the noise can be cancelled. The output square wave has a base frequency of typ. 460 kHz, and rise times of some 10.000 V/uS. The slopes are minimised to around 80nS to keep switching losses low at heav
23、y speaker loads. However at low signal amplitudes the main power loss comes from capacities in the MOSFETs, so transitions are slowed to reduce EMI, noise and idle loss. This is controlled by the PulseField circuit in the Gate driver. A simple rule says that at no signal, a ZAPpulse loses some 9.5 W
24、atts power to capacities in the MOSFETs, and at full power it loses another 9.5 Watts to serial resistance. So at 500 W out you only have to dissipate around 19 Watts to the heat sinks. One great advantage PWM amplifiers have over conventional analog amplifiers is, that PWM amplifiers have exception
25、al ability to expand the sound stage with added sound level. An analog amplifier would typically collapse the soundstage at higher levels, depending on the size of the power supply (why we have huge power supply banks in all our analog amplifiers). The PWM will play with wide and deep sound stage at
26、 any listening level, even with a very (almost too) small power supply. We have made tests with a 2 x 250 W RMS ZAPpulse amp, running with only two 2200 uF 100V main caps. And it still has plenty of bass control, definition, width and depth.Opportunities for interesting experiments in this field are

By feeding a separate gate drive voltage from the power supply (15-20 V DC 200 mA) you can reduce the idle loss of a ZAPpulse modu

L C Audio Technology Inc To make ZAPpulse 2.2SE work, simply connect a typical Audio Power Supply of +/-35V to +/- 72V. (max. 60 V for the standard version). The output power depends on the voltage of the
32、 power supply. The 2.2 standard version uses 63V capacitors, on the board, while the 2.2SE uses 100 V caps. This is why the SE can be made to deliver much higher powers than the standard modules. In the standard version, the sound quality of the main caps must be considered. The midrange and treble
33、sonic properties of these caps, will interact with the overall sound performance of the amplifier, so we recommend using very high quality caps with standard modules. With the SE modules the mid and high frequency performance is fixed at the highest level by the BC Vishay series RLI136 (100uF 100V).
34、 So PSU caps only need to have good bass props. Always use short and heavy wire between PSU caps and modules (less than 4-5 inches). 6 You can also Bridge-tie your speaker loads to get higher output power. For this you need 2 ZAPpulse modules per audio channel. Output Power vs. Power Supply Voltage.

48、er of switching cycles per second. It is NOT the same as the bandwidth of the amplifier! Higher switching frequencies may theoretically lead to higher resolution in the treble regions, but may also add switching noise and extra distortions. The free running frequency of a ZAPpulse 2.2SE is 460 kHz +
49、/- 20 kHz. We recommend leaving the module in the free running mode unless there are special factors speaking for an external frequency control. This may be to have the module run syncronously with a D/A converter, or if you have several channels in the same enclosure. In this case on or more of the modules may interact with the others to create a background noise. In this case you can syncronize the modules with a common clock, to eliminate the high pitch noise. More about this later. In our experience there is really no incentive to run the modules at higher frequencies, as it will
