ABSTRACT:
A self-configurable, dual bridge, power amplifier has a window comparator sensing the level of input signals fed to the amplifier which drives a plurality of configuring switches capable of configuring the amplifier as a single bridge amplifier driving a first and a second loads connected in series or as two distinct bridge amplifiers each driving one of the two loads. As long as the two levels of the input signals remain comprised between a range defined by a negative voltage reference and a positive voltage reference, the amplifier is configured as a single bridge driving the two loads in series, thus reducing sensibly power dissipation.
