1-13. (canceled)
An audio amplifier, comprising a signal loop, the signal loop comprising
- an audio amplifier input, configured to receive a to be amplified signal, the audio amplifier input in connection with
- at least one compensator, configured to compensate a transmission of an audio output and of an ADC input, wherein the at least one compensator is in connection with
- at least one Pulse-Width-Modulator (PWM in connection with
- a power stage in connection with
- at least one LC filter and load, wherein the LC filter load is configured to be in connection with the audio output, and is in connection with
- at least one ADC, in connection with the at least one compensator, and
- characterized in
- at least one adaptive digital LC compensation filter configured to receive an input from the ADC and an input from the at least one Pulse-Width-Modulator, and to provide an output to the at least one compensator, and wherein the at least one adaptive digital LC compensation filter is configured to stabilize a performance of the loop.
A signal loop for an audio amplifier comprising an audio amplifier input configured to receive a to be amplified signal, the audio amplifier input in connection with
