Abstract
Described embodiments include an audio amplifier circuit that includes a first amplifier having a differential first amplifier input adapted to be coupled to an audio input source, a multiplexer having first and second mux inputs, a control input and a mux output. The first mux input is coupled to the differential amplifier output. There is a signal generator having a generator input coupled to the mux output. There is also a driver circuit having a driver circuit input and a driver circuit output, the driver circuit input coupled to the generator output, and a second amplifier having a first error input coupled to a current sense terminal that is configured to provide a voltage proportional to a current supplied from a power supply terminal, and a second error input coupled to a current limit terminal configured to provide a reference voltage proportional to a current limit value.
