Abstract:
Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for a hum reduction circuit implemented to provide a ground path between an audio generating device and a powered headset. In one example, a system includes a jack configured to accept a plug comprising a first electrical ground connection. The system also includes a switch coupled to the jack at a first end and coupled to second electrical ground connection at a second end. The system also includes the switch is configured to couple to the first electrical ground at the first end. The system further includes a bias control signal coupled to the switch, configured to control a switch bias, where a first switch bias electrically couples the first electrical ground to the second electrical ground, and a second switch bias electrically decouples the first electrical ground from the second electrical ground.

Claim (Index 5):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the switch comprises a depletion n-channel field effect transistor comprising a drain, a source, and a gate, wherein the drain is coupled to the first electrical ground connection at the jack, the source is coupled to the second electrical ground connection, and the gate is coupled to the bias control signal, and wherein the depletion re-channel field effect transistor is operable to electrically couple the first electrical ground connection to the second electrical ground connection when no bias control signal is present.
