    Abstract: A reference current path carries a reference current. A first transistor is coupled to the reference current path. A second transistor is also coupled to the reference current path. The first and second transistors are connected in parallel to carry the reference current. The first transistor is biased by a first voltage (which is a bandgap voltage plus a threshold voltage). The second transistor is biased by a second voltage (which is a PTAT voltage plus a threshold voltage). The first and second transistors are thus biased by voltages having different and opposite temperature coefficients with a result that the temperature coefficients of the currents flowing in the first and second transistors are opposite and the reference current accordingly has a low temperature coefficient.

    Abstract: A current source circuit is configured to receive a reference current at the input circuit path of a current mirror circuit. The current mirror circuit mirrors the reference current and generates mirror currents at a number of output circuit paths. A corresponding number of control transistors are connected in series with the output circuit paths. Each control transistor is selectively actuated in response to a control signal. A decoder circuit is configured to receive a variable control signal and generate actuation signals in response thereto to selective actuate the control transistors to pass the mirror current to an output node. At the output node, the passed mirror currents are summed to generate a variable output current. The variable current is monotonically modulated in response to the variable control signal.

    Abstract: A method of operating a speaker system including a speaker coupled to an amplifier, and a dedicated digital speaker protection circuit includes turning on the amplifier in a mute mode, after a first delay period, issuing a play command to the amplifier to place the amplifier in a play mode, but without an input signal during a second delay period, and performing a speaker offset detection during the second delay period, wherein, if there is an offset, then the amplifier is forced back into the mute mode, and if there is no offset, then the amplifier is allowed to continue to operate in the play mode. The method also includes issuing a speaker protection control signal or command if an offset is detected.
