Abstract:
An apparatus may include a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert a digital audio input signal into a differential analog input signal with a substantially non-zero common-mode voltage, an amplifier configured to receive the differential analog input signal and generate at an amplifier output a ground-centered output signal from the differential analog input signal, a clamp configured to selectively couple and decouple the amplifier output to a ground voltage, and a controller configured to control the clamp to selectively couple and decouple the amplifier output to a ground voltage responsive to transitions between power states of a device comprising the apparatus and control the differential analog input signal generated by the digital-to-analog converter in order to minimize a level transition current through an output load coupled to the amplifier output during transitions between the power states.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the transitions between power states comprise a transition between a low power state and a powered on state and a transition between the powered on state and the low power state.
