Fig. 3 Conceptual diagram of the proposed method In order to verify the validity of the proposed circuitry and control
strategy, the experiment has been performed using the 70 W
Where, Ip and In represent current polarities, Gp and Gn are proto-type amplifier operates with 24 V of DC link voltage. Fig.
switching signals of the upper and lower arm of the bridge circuitry, 6(a) shows 1 kHz rectangular response and Fig. 6(b) shows spectra
respectively. The dead time is applied at the changing instant of the of the reference and real current. It can be seen that the response is
current polarity. The actual adopted dead time duration is either very excellent over audible frequency band.
same as applied dead time or almost zero in case of minimum Fig. 7(a) represents music reproduction response. Real signal
because the dead time is applied from the falling edge of the follows well reference signal and it is confirmed that original sound
switching signal of lower arm when the current polarity is changing is well reproduced through the octave analysis of music sound
from negative to positive. It can be seen that the actual adopted dead signal as shown in Fig. 7(b). With the experimental results,
time is the most minimized dead time. By using the proposed usefulness of the proposed amplifier is confirmed.
switching strategy, the dead time compensation is no longer
required and the discontinuous phenomenon of the current and the
possibility of the arm short are minimized.
