Road 110.
1B figure show one of output-stage circuit examples of circuits in the audio output system 100 of 1A figure.Implement herein
In example, output-stage circuit 120 can be reached by operational amplifier, but the present invention is not limited thereto.In this embodiment, defeated
Grade circuit 120 includes operational amplifier A2, resistance R3 and resistance R4 out.Operational amplifier A2 be biased in positive voltage bias VDD with
Negative voltage bias-VDD.Resistance R3 be coupled to input stage circuit 350 output end and operational amplifier A2 inverting input terminal it
Between.Resistance R4 is coupled between the inverting input terminal of operational amplifier A2 and the output end Nout of operational amplifier A2.Operation is put
The non-inverting input of big device A2 receives the reference voltage Vref that generating circuit from reference voltage 110 provides.This negative voltage bias
The bias voltage Vbias that is exported by charge pump circuit 130 of level-VDD provided.Output-stage circuit 120 is according to reference electricity
Press Vref and the first signal S1 to generate audio output signal Sout.The Dc bias level of audio output signal Sout is (i.e. defeated
The Dc bias level of the output end Nout of grade circuit 120 out) it is ground voltage level GND.
Referring to the 2nd figure, the 2nd figure show 100 operation timing of the audio output system figure of 1A and 1B figure.In detail
Ground is said, in a power-on operation, in time point t0, opens power supply, the level of operating voltage VDD is gradually risen to by zero volt
High levels.In time point t1, (in this instance, first control signal C1 is by low level by 140 enable first control signal C1 of control circuit
Standard changes into high levels), switch SW is connected, it is grounded output end Nout.Later, in time point t2,140 enable of control circuit
Second control signal C2 (in this instance, second control signal C2 changes into high levels by low level), with enable charge pump circuit
130 output bias voltage Vbias.Then at time point t3,140 enable third of control circuit controls signal C3 (in this instance, third
Control signal C3 and high levels changed by low level), output-stage circuit 120 is opened to start generating circuit from reference voltage 110
Initiating is made.
In this embodiment, control circuit 140 opens up by guide and closes SW, in the case where just booting unstable state
(i.e. when the output voltage of the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 is unstable) protects the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120
Hold the level in 0V.Also, stable high levels state, and electricity are reached in the positive voltage level VDD of 120 bias of output-stage circuit
After the bias voltage Vbias that lotus pump circuit 130 provides reaches stable negative-VDD, control circuit 140 just starts
Generating circuit from reference voltage 110 provides reference voltage Vref to output-stage circuit 120, operates output-stage circuit 120 normally,
And then the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 is avoided to generate sharply voltage change and cause sonic boom.
If not opened up according to the sequence guide of the 2nd figure in the power-on operation of audio output system 100 and closing SW again sequentially
Enable charge pump circuit 130 and generating circuit from reference voltage 110, such as guide open up and close SW then while starting reference voltage production
Raw circuit 110 and charge pump circuit 130.In this case, due to output-stage circuit 120 just start when, charge pump circuit
130 output bias voltage Vbias not yet reach negative-VDD, therefore the back bias voltage voltage of output-stage circuit 120 is not yet
Stablize, the output voltage of the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 will change with the change of reference voltage Vref at this time,
And when the bias voltage Vbias that charge pump circuit 130 provides reaches stable negative-VDD, output-stage circuit 120
The output voltage of output end Nout can change into ground voltage level (0V) again.In this case, output-stage circuit 120
The rapidly voltage change of the output voltage of output end Nout will will lead to the generation of sonic boom.
Later, after first control signal C1 maintains one time section of enable, that is, wait until that output-stage circuit 120 is normal
It operates after generating stable output voltage, switchs to forbidden energy (in this instance, the first control in time point t4, first control signal C1
Signal C1 processed changes into low level by high levels) and switch SW is disconnected, and after time point t4, second control signal C2 and the
Three control signal C3 continue to that (in this instance, second control signal C2 and third control signal C3 and continue to tie up in enabled status
It is held in high levels), make generating circuit from reference voltage 110 and 130 normal operating of charge pump circuit and holds audio output system 100
General operation after row booting.
In this embodiment, audio output system 100 will not lead to the generation of sonic boom in power-off operation.In a shutdown
In operation (for example, after source of sound input signal is become silent mode (mute pattern)), in time point t5, control circuit
140 enable first control signal C1 (in this instance, first control signal C1 changes into high levels by low level), switch is connected
SW is grounded output end Nout.Later, in time point t6,140 forbidden energy third of control circuit controls signal C3 (in this instance, the
Three control signal C3 change into low level by high levels), it provides with forbidden energy generating circuit from reference voltage 110 and then no longer and refers to electricity
Press Vref to output-stage circuit 120.Then at time point t7,140 forbidden energy second control signal C2 of control circuit (in this instance,
Two control signal C2 change into low level by low high standard), with forbidden energy charge pump circuit 130.Later, in time point t8, electricity is closed
Therefore source, operating voltage VDD are gradually lowered by high levels (for example, VDD) to 0V, first control signal C1 is accordingly in the time
Point t9 changes into low level by high levels, and then disconnects switch SW.
Similarly, in this embodiment, in power-off operation, control circuit 140 opens up by guide and closes SW, in output stage
(output voltage of the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 is unstable in the case where unstable state when circuit 120 shuts down
When), so that the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 is maintained at the level of 0V.Also, keeping the normal of output-stage circuit 120
In the case where bias level (charge pump circuit 130 is not first namely closed, in the case where persistently providing bias voltage Vbias),
The first forbidden energy generating circuit from reference voltage 110 of control circuit 140 makes generating circuit from reference voltage 110 not provide reference voltage Vref,
To avoid in back bias voltage voltage instability timing (the case where level of back bias voltage voltage Vbias is not in-VDD of output-stage circuit 120
Under), the output voltage of the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 causes quick-fried as reference voltage Vref generates voltage change
Sound.After generating circuit from reference voltage 110 is disabled, sequentially forbidden energy charge pump circuit 130 and closing are electric for control circuit 140
Source finally just disconnects switch SW, therefore can be true so that the back bias voltage bias of output-stage circuit 120 and positive voltage bias are down to 0V
It protects the output voltage of the output end Nout of output-stage circuit 120 in entire shutdown programm and is held at the level of 0V without leading
Cause the generation of sonic boom.
