Abstract: In an embodiment, a class-AB amplifier includes: an output stage that includes a pair of half-bridges configured to be coupled to a load; and a current sensing circuit coupled to a first half-bridge of the pair of half-bridges. The current sensing circuit includes a resistive element and is configured to sense a load current flowing through the load by: mirroring a current flowing through a first transistor of the first half-bridge to generate a mirrored current, flowing the mirrored current through the resistive element, and sensing the load current based on a voltage of the resistive element.

Abstract: A circuit can be used in a speaker system. The circuit includes an amplifier with an output configured to be coupled to a speaker. An offset comparator has an input coupled the output of the amplifier and is configured to provide an offset control signal. A digital circuit has a first input coupled to an output of the offset comparator, a second input configured to receive an amplifier control signal, a third input configured to receive a play control signal, and an output configured to provide a forced mute signal that can be used to control the amplifier.
