Abstract
Techniques for removing crosstalk from a system, e.g., an audio system, having first and second (e.g., left and right) channels. In an aspect, first and second output voltages of corresponding first and second amplifiers are sampled during a calibration mode, in which one of the amplifiers is driven with a reference voltage, and the output of the other of the amplifiers is configured to have a high impedance. The sampled first and second output voltages may be digitized for processing by a processor to estimate a crosstalk removal function. The crosstalk removal function may then be multiplied with the input signals and added in a cross-channel manner to the first and second input signals prior to amplification to remove crosstalk from the system. In certain aspects, multiple reference voltages may be applied during the calibration mode to improve the estimate of the crosstalk removal function.
