Abstract

A circuit for driving a loudspeaker is disclosed. The circuit includes: a signal generator connected to the loudspeaker, generating a first signal comprising a first pulse with positive value and a second pulse with negative value; a detection circuit connected to the loudspeaker, detecting a second signal produced by the loudspeaker in response to the first signal; and a processing circuit connected to the signal generator and the detection circuit, calculating the impedance of the loudspeaker according to the second signal; wherein each pulse width of the first and second pulses is between 100 ns and 900 ns.
