| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A switched capacitor circuit (SCC) converts a voltage to other by changing the connection of capacitors using high speed semiconductor switches. In this study, a new coil-less digital power amplifier was developed using the SCC. In the proposed circuit, each capacitor is charged up to the voltage which is proportional to the weight of each binary digit. The output voltage is obtained by connecting the capacitors which is corresponding digital input signal is high. Therefore, a digital input signal can be converted to an analog power output voltage instantly.
A designed 16-bit digital amplifier has the following feature. The frequency characteristic is flat from DC to 20 kHz, and the power conversion efficiencies at light load and 8Ω load are higher than 99% and 95%, respectively.
