  • Abstract
    Loudspeakers in portable consumer electronic devices are frequently small in size. Due to the low sensitivity of their drive units, they are pushed to their power handling and mechanical limits by powerful amplifiers in an attempt to reach high volumes. To protect against excessive diaphragm excursions, a model based algorithm is proposed which regulates the voltage input signal to the loudspeaker while minimizing unnecessary system interventions.
