Abstract

An audio amplifier includes a compensation unit, an output unit and a calibration unit. The compensation unit generates a compensation signal based on a digital input signal, a digital reference code, a mode signal and a digital approximation code. The output unit generates an output signal based on the compensated input signal. The calibration unit generates the digital approximation code based on the output signal and the mode signal. The digital approximation code includes a plurality of bits that are generated sequentially.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority under 35 USC §119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0094000, filed on Oct. 1, 2009 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the contents of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]Example embodiments relate to an audio amplifier, and more particularly to an audio amplifier that compensates a DC offset included in an output signal thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]An audio amplifier is widely used to amplify an input audio signal to provide an amplified output audio signal for driving a load such as a speaker. Generally, the audio amplifier may be categorized into a class-A amplifier, a class-B amplifier, a class-AB amplifier and a class-D amplifier. The class-A, class-B and class-AB amplifiers may be used in an analog system and the class-D amplifier may be used in a digital system.[0006]The class-A amplifier is us...
