    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for overcurrent detection are disclosed herein. The electronic device causes a high-side offsetting voltage drop and converts a voltage difference between a first voltage at an input terminal of an upper-bridge power component of a power stage and a sum of a first balancing voltage drop and the high-side offsetting voltage drop into a first current. The electronic device further converts a voltage difference between a second voltage of an output terminal of the upper-bridge power component and a second balancing voltage drop into a second current, compares the first current and the second current, and generates a high-side overcurrent protection (OCP) signal with logic high for a driver of the power stage when the first current is stronger than the second current, such that the driver turns off the upper-bridge power component accordingly.

    Abstract: A loudspeaker excursion prediction system, which is suitable for a loudspeaker protection circuit comprises a low-pass filter circuit, a down-sampling circuit, and an impulse response generation unit. The low-pass filter circuit is configured to generate an audio signal XLPF(t) passing through the low-pass filter circuit according to an audio signal X(t) with a first sampling frequency. A down-sampling circuit, coupled to the low-pass filter circuit, is configured to down-sampling the first sampling frequency of the audio signal XLPF(t) output from the low-pass filter circuit to a second sampling frequency, so as to generate a down-sampled audio signal XLPFDN(t). The impulse response generation unit, coupled to the down-sampling circuit, is configured to generate an excursion prediction value according to a loudspeaker excursion transfer function and the down-sampled audio signal XLPFDN(t).
