Abstract
An audio amplifier circuit may include a power amplifier, a charge pump power supply, and a control circuit. The power amplifier may have an audio input for receiving an audio input signal, an audio output for providing the output signal, and a power supply input. The charge pump power supply may provide a power supply voltage to the power supply input. The charge pump power supply may have a select input for selecting an operating mode of the power supply. In a first operating mode, the power supply voltage may equal to a first voltage, and in a second operating mode, the power supply voltage may be substantially equal to a second voltage which is a rational fraction of the first voltage. The control circuit may generate the select input based on a magnitude of anti-noise generated by an adaptive noise cancellation system associated with the audio transducer.
