  1. Integrating switch mode audio power amplifiers and electro dynamic loudspeakers for a higher power efficiency Michael A. E. Andersen Professor Ørsted·DTU Technical University of Denmark ma@oersted.dtu.dk Søren Poulsen Ph.D. Student Ørsted·DTU Technical University of Denmark spo@oersted.dtu.dk

  2. Using the voice coil inductance as output filter Integrating switch mode audio amplifier and loudspeaker

  3. Maximum phase shift ~ 65° Real part caused by eddy current losses in the magnetic system Resonances at high frequencies Voice coil inductance Voice coil capacitance Loudspeaker impedance

  4. 2-level modulation 3-level modulation PWM modulation schemes

  5. 2-level modulation 3-level modulation PWM HF output spectra M=0.01 M=1

  6. Layer to layer capacity Pushing up ressonance frequency

  7. Minimizing L·C L  N2 C  1/number of winding layers Fewer turns More winding layers Pushing up voice coil resonance frequency

  8. Voice coil fill factor

  9. Efficiency constant for same fill-factor Higher fill factor benefits efficiency Efficiency improvement with low impedance voice coils

  10. Output stage losses Using same DIE area and voice coil fill factor for different supply voltages Ripple current included Power stage losses, 2-level modulation Single ended and full bridge output stage 5V, 10V, 20V, 40V supply

  11. Modifying magnetic system with other materials near the voice coil Ferrite Exellent HF properties Bmax0,5T Powder iron Exellent HF properties Bmax 1-1,4T Improving the magnetic system
