Abstract

A method for suppressing POP noise in an audio operation amplifier, comprising: connecting a first resistor and a second resistor in series at an output stage of the audio operation amplifier by turning on a first switch and a second switch; generating, with a ramp generator, a ramp voltage after an audio signal is input into the audio operation amplifier, wherein the ramp voltage varies from zero to a first value; generating, with an voltage generator, a second voltage, wherein a third switch is turned on and a fourth switch is turned off when the ramp voltage reaches the second value; short-circuiting the first and second resistors by turning off the first and second switches; and outputting, with the audio operation amplifier, an amplified audio signal.
