ABSTRACT:
A digital audio-signal output circuit is provided, which is capable of outputting an audio signal without generating pop noise. In suppressing pop noise, the audio signal output circuit requires no analog circuit nor mute control signal for external peripheral devices. Upon receipt of a digital input audio signal having an AC component superposed on a reference voltage VREF, the circuit selects one of a pulse-density-modulated audio signal derived from the input audio signal and a transition signal that smoothly varies between zero volt and the reference voltage, and provides the selected signal to speakers.
