Amplifier arrangement comprising a master amplifier and at least one slave amplifier

摘要

An amplifier arrangement for amplifying at least one first and one second audio input signal. In one embodiment, the arrangement includes a master amplifier designed as a class D amplifier. The first audio input signal is applied to the master audio input and a master audio output signal is applied to the master audio output. The arrangement also includes a master feedback loop; thus enabling the master amplifier to be designed as a self-oscillating class D amplifier having a master oscillation frequency, at least one slave amplifier, a slave feedback loop, wherein a slave audio output signal or signal portions thereof are fed back into a slave audio input, and a master-slave coupling loop, wherein the master audio output signal or signal portions thereof is coupled into the slave audio input, so that the slave amplifier has the master oscillation frequency as its oscillation frequency.

1. An amplifier arrangement for amplifying at least one first and one second audio input signal, the amplifier arrangement comprising:
a master amplifier, wherein the master amplifier is designed as a class D amplifier, said master amplifier having a master audio input and a master audio output, wherein the first audio input signal is applied to the master audio input and an amplified first audio input signal is applied as a master audio output signal to the master audio output, a master feedback loop, wherein the master audio output signal is fed back into the master audio input; thus enabling the master amplifier to be designed as a self-oscillating class D amplifier having a master oscillation frequency, at least one slave amplifier, the slave amplifier being designed as a class D amplifier, wherein the slave amplifier has a slave audio input and a slave audio output, wherein the second audio input signal is applied to the slave audio input and an amplified second audio input signal is applied as a slave audio output signal to the slave audio output, a slave feedback loop, wherein the slave audio output signal is fed back into the slave audio input, and a master-slave coupling loop, wherein the master audio output signal is coupled as a coupling signal into the slave audio input, so that the slave amplifier has the master oscillation frequency as its oscillation frequency.
