An output stage circuit is provided, which includes a power supply, a quiescent current control circuit, an output circuit, and a quiescent current equalization circuit. The quiescent current equalization circuit is configured to decrease or increase a quiescent current flowing through a quiescent current biasing circuit in the quiescent current control circuit when a change of a voltage of the power supply is detected, such that a quiescent current flowing through the output circuit remains constant. A quiescent current equalization method, a Class AB amplifier and an electronic device are also provided. When the voltage of the power supply is increased, the quiescent current of the output circuit of the output stage circuit can maintain constant. As such, the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of the output circuit can be efficiently increased and the power consumption of the device can be reduced.
