  • Patent number: 8391511
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a digital audio circuit which converts an input digital signal into an analog audio signal, a DC-DC converter having a switching power source circuit, and an audible frequency determining circuit. In order that a difference between a frequency of a first clock signal for digital to analog conversion which is used in the digital audio circuit and a frequency of a second clock signal for switching control which is used in a DC-DC converter exceeds a maximum audible frequency, a frequency comparing circuit in the audible frequency determining circuit outputs a signal to a frequency changing circuit in the DC-DC converter. The frequency changing circuit causes a second oscillating circuit to change the second frequency.
