Abstract

A power detector is provided for detecting closing of a power switch in a power supply, for producing a power-on signal after a predetermined time from detection of the closing of the power switch. An abnormality detector is provided for detecting an abnormal voltage produced in a circuit of a power amplifier, for producing an abnormality signal when detected. In response to the power-on signal, an output stage of the power amplifier is activated, and the output stage is cut off in response to the abnormality signal.
