Abstract
A system for driving an audio speaker that has an impedance, the system comprising: a scaler having an analog input and a scaler output that is an attenuated analog input; an amplifier having an amplifier input coupled to the scaler output and an amplifier output; a current sensor having a sensor input coupled to the speaker and a sensor output, the current sensor configured to generate a sensor signal at the sensor output responsive to a current from the audio speaker; and a compensator circuit having a circuit input coupled to the sensor output and a circuit output coupled to the amplifier input, the compensator circuit configured to supply a compensation signal to the amplifier input by applying a transfer function to the sensor signal.
