  • Publication number: 20220343930
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an audio processing circuit, wherein when the audio processing circuit determines that a signal being processed is a small signal, an output stage uses a regulated supply voltage provided by a voltage regulator, and the output stage uses an open-loop structure to reduce noise of an output audio signal; and when the audio processing circuit determines that the signal being processed is a large signal, the output stage directly uses the supply voltage without using the regulated supply voltage, and the output stage uses a closed-loop structure to reduce the total harmonic distortion of the output audio signal. By using the present invention, the audio processing circuit can have a good performance indicator with a small chip area design.
