Self Oscillating determined components

Adjustments of Self-Oscillating Frequency
The PWM switching frequency in this type of self-oscillating switching scheme greatly impacts
the audio performance, both in absolute frequency and frequency relative to the other channels. In
absolute terms, at higher frequencies distortion due to switching-time becomes significant, while
at lower frequencies, the bandwidth of the amplifier suffers. In relative terms, interference
between channels is most significant if the relative frequency difference is within the audible
range. Normally, when adjusting the self-oscillating frequency of the different channels, it is best
to either match the frequencies accurately, or have them separated by at least 25kHz. With the
installed components, it is possible to change the self-oscillating frequency from about 300kHz
up to 450kHz, as shown on Fig 30
Switches and Indicators
There are four different indicators on the reference design as shown in the figure 31 below:
1.
An orange LED, signifying a fault / shutdown condition when lit.
2.
A green LED on the motherboard, signifying conditions are normal and no fault
condition is present.
3.
A blue LED on the daughter board module, signifying there are HO pulses for CH1
4.
A blue LED on the daughter board module signifying there are HO pulses for CH2
There are three switches on the reference design:
1.
Switch S1 is a trip and reset push-button. Pushing this button has the same effect as a
fault condition. The circuit will restart about three seconds after the shutdown button is
released.
2.
Switch S2 is an internal clock-sync frequency selector. This feature allows the designer
to modify the switching frequency in order to avoid AM radio interference. With S3 set
to INT, the two settings “H” and “L” will modify the internal clock frequency by about
