Abstract

An interface circuit for an audio signal includes a low-pass filter supplied with an audio signal with a DC component superposed thereon from a first circuit for extracting the DC component and a differential-input circuit. The differential-input circuit is supplied with the audio signal with the DC component superposed thereon from the first circuit and also supplied with the DC component extracted by the low-pass filter and the output of the differential-input circuit is supplied to a second circuit. In the differential-input circuit, the DC component superposed on the audio signal from the first circuit is canceled by the DC component from the low-pass filter so that only the audio signal is supplied to the second circuit. With the above described arrangement, terminal pins of an IC can be reduced in number.
