摘要:
A circuit for a power amplifier is disclosed which amplifies and outputs an audio signal by amplifying an input audio signal using first and second differential circuits, and driving a push-pull output transistor with the outputs from the first and second differential circuits. The circuit includes a signal generating part generating a disconnection timing signal for disconnecting a bias current reducing activation currents of the first and second differential circuits based on a switch control signal, and positive feedback loops of the first and second differential circuits. A switch part is disposed in each of the positive feedback loops of the first and second differential circuits, disconnecting the positive feedback loops in response to the disconnection timing signal. A bias part stops the operation of the first and second differential circuits by reducing the activation currents of the first and second differential circuits by reduction of the bias currents.
