ABSTRACT:
An audio power management system for a computer to eliminate noise signals associated with the power-down and power-up operations of the computer during power management operations. The audio power management system asserts a speaker mute signal before power is removed from the amplifier to reduce transient conditions. During power up, the speaker mute signal is applied to the amplifier for a period after power is applied to the amplifier. This control is done from a single digital output.
