Abstract:
Audio content in a single-bit audio stream can be reproduced at a transducer by mapping the single-bit audio stream to symbols in a multi-bit audio stream. Volume control may be implemented, in part, in the digital domain and, in part, in the analog domain. In the digital domain, when converting the single-bit audio stream to a plurality of symbols, the plurality of symbols is selected based, at least in part, on audio content of the single-bit audio stream and a desired volume level. In the analog domain, when converting an analog current signal output from a current-steering DAC processing the plurality of symbols to an analog voltage signal, an analog gain value may be selected based, at least in part, on the desired volume level.
