Abstract
A disclosed pop sound reduction circuit reducing generation of pop sound at activation or deactivation of an audio amplifier includes a reference voltage circuit generating a reference voltage, a differential amplifier circuit having first and second inputs to amplify the audio signal based on a comparison between the first and second inputs, a triangular voltage generator circuit generating a triangular voltage, a voltage current convertor circuit generating a current proportional to the triangular voltage, a capacitor charged with the generated current to generate a voltage corresponding to the generated current, a constant voltage circuit generating a constant voltage, and a control circuit switching the triangular voltage into the constant voltage to be applied to the voltage current convertor circuit so as to increase the generated voltage if the voltage generated by the capacitor is below the reference voltage when the triangular voltage is equal to or below a predetermined voltage.
