Abstract: This application relates to current sensing, in particular for a signal processing circuit (500) for outputting an output signal (Sout) based on an input signal (Sin). An output stage (101) includes an output transistor (102) driven, in use, by a drive signal. A current monitor (501) is configured to monitor, in use, a first current through the output transistor, wherein the current monitor comprises a current sensor (105) having a sense transistor (106) configured to be driven based on the drive signal so as to generate a sense current related to the first current. A compensation controller (301) receives an indication of signal level of the input signal and controllably varies operation of the current monitor (501) so as to at least partially compensate for signal-dependent variation in a relationship between the first current and the first sense current.

Abstract: Circuitry for driving first and second loads, the circuitry comprising: a first output signal path for supplying a first driving signal to the first load; a second output signal path for supplying a second driving signal to the second load; sequencer circuitry configured to initiate a first state change in the first output signal path and a second state change in the second output signal path, wherein the sequencer circuitry is configured to control the initiation of the first and second state changes such that the second state change is not synchronised with the first state change.
