Abstract

A device implementing a scheme for reduction of pop-up noise is disclosed. The device comprises an audio sub-system (100) having an integrator (112) for amplifying an input signal (133) and a modulation circuit (114) including one or more comparators. The audio subsystem (100) is further provided with a feedback loop (142) across the integrator (112) and the modulation circuit (114) to calibrate an offsets outputs of the integrator (112) and the modulation circuit (114). The feedback loop (142) includes an integrator-offset loop (202) across the integrator (112) to calibrate an offset (136) in the output of the integrator (112), and an offset calibration loop (302) across the modulation circuit (114) to calibrate an offset (140) in the output of the modulation circuit (114).
