ABSTRACT:
A control circuit creates a self-sensing active-damping voice coil. The control circuit includes a current sensor coupled to a voice coil. A first filter is coupled to the current sensor to create an error voltage that is proportional to the integral of an external acceleration applied to the voice coil. A second filter with a lead-lag component is coupled to the error voltage to create a voltage applied to the voice coil that substantially cancels the external acceleration below a pole defined by a lead-lag component thereby damping the external accelerations.
