    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method of improving the efficiency in the power consumption of an audio system.SOLUTION: Power delivered from a power supply analog section 212 to an analog section including a power amplifier 206-L is adjusted in response to a volume level indicated by a volume control module 216 and/or in response to a detected characteristic of an input audio signal. Thus, in this system and method, the analog section is operated in a manner that is related to the level of the signal it is processing. Additionally, the system and method also relate to a technique of adjusting the dynamic ranges of the digital signal and the analog signal to improve the overall dynamic range of the system without needing to consume additional power.

    Abstract: Techniques for designing a transconductor configurable to have a low transconductance. In one aspect, a voltage to current conversion module is coupled to a 1:N current replication module. The voltage to current conversion module may be implemented as an operational amplifier configured with negative feedback to generate a current through a transistor, wherein such current is proportional to the difference between an input voltage and a common-mode reference. The 1:N current replication module is configured to mirror the generated current in another transistor, to a predetermined ratio, such that the output current is also proportional to the difference between the input voltage and the common-mode reference. In exemplary embodiments, the output stage driving the output current may be configured to operate as a Class A, Class B, or Class AB type amplifier.

    Abstract: Techniques for reducing surge current in charge pumps. In an exemplary embodiment, one or more switches coupling a terminal of a flying capacitor to a voltage supply are configured to have variable on-resistance. When the charge pump is configured to switch a gain mode from a lower gain to a higher gain, the one or more variable resistance switches are configured to have a decreasing resistance profile over time. In this manner, surge current drawn from the voltage supply at the outset of the gain switch may be limited, while the on-resistance during steady-state charging and discharging may be kept low. Similar techniques are provided to decrease the surge current from a bypass switch coupling the supply voltage to a positive output voltage of the charge pump.

    Abstract: An audio system that reduces or eliminates click and pop noise during power up and power down operations. In particular, the audio system includes an amplifier with an input adapted to receive an input audio signal and an output adapted to produce an amplified output audio signal for an associated speaker. The audio system further includes a noise reduction circuit adapted to smoothly apply and remove a DC voltage to and from the output of the amplifier in a manner that reduces or eliminates click and pop noise from being generated by the associated speaker. The DC voltage at the output of the amplifier may be derived from a DC reference voltage source and/or from the input audio signal.
