    Abstract: A boosted audio amplifier system includes a first digital interpolation filter configured to oversample an audio input signal at a first oversampling rate and includes a signal level detector having an input coupled to receive the oversampled audio input signal and configured to produce an audio input level signal. The system further includes a programmable delay buffer having inputs coupled to receive the oversampled audio input signal and a first delay signal. The programmable delay buffer adds a first delay to the oversampled audio input signal to produce a delayed input signal. The system also includes a first processor having inputs coupled to receive a battery voltage level signal, the audio input level signal and the first delay signal. The first processor is configured to produce boost control signals to regulate a boost voltage.
