    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to circuitry for driving a load. The circuitry comprises: primary driver circuitry coupled to a primary signal path and operable to drive the load with a playback signal in a first mode of operation of the circuitry, wherein a playback signal comprises a signal that drives the load to generate a desired output; auxiliary driver circuitry coupled to an auxiliary signal path; an auxiliary current sense resistor in the auxiliary signal path; and current detection circuitry coupled to the auxiliary current sense resistor and configured to generate a signal indicative of a current through the load. One of the primary driver circuitry and the auxiliary driver circuitry is operable to drive the load with a pilot signal in a second mode of operation of the circuitry, wherein a pilot signal comprises a signal having a predefined frequency or frequency content and a predefined magnitude.

    Abstract: Circuitry for driving a load, the circuitry comprising: driver circuitry; load sensing circuitry; and a parameter estimation engine, wherein the circuitry is operable in: a driving mode of operation in which the driver circuitry supplies a drive signal to a load coupled to the circuitry; and a load sensing mode of operation, for estimating a characteristic of a load coupled to the circuitry based on a signal output by the load sensing circuitry in response to a stimulus signal supplied to the driver circuitry, and wherein the circuitry is operable to perform a calibration operation in which the parameter estimation engine generates a circuit parameter for use in the load sensing mode based, at least in part, on a signal generated by the circuitry in response to a calibration stimulus signal supplied to the driver circuitry.
