Abstract

See full text

A driver device for suppression audible transients of an audio amplifier includes an amplifier for receiving an audio signal and a bias circuit configured to quickly generate a voltage level for biasing the amplifier, wherein the voltage level is maintained even if the driver device is powered off. The bias circuit may include a CMOS inverter having a negative feedback that has a standby current of less than 100 nA. The bias circuit further includes a buffer for rapidly charging an external capacitor. The buffer may change to a high impedance state rapidly when the power supply is disconnected.
