Abstract

See full text

The invention has been described in the context of a system and method of removing artifacts from an audio signal during shutdown of the output. The system includes a means by which the average value may be found to be zero or sufficiently close to zero as determined by the resolution of the filter output and a means by which the filter average value being zero or close to zero is used to disconnect (or equivalently change impedance or power) of the device or devices rendering the PWM signal into the analog domain as may be implemented by a Class D bridge chip and disconnection means. The invention further includes a means by which channels are in succession compared to prior channels and switched to share the fixed output signal and a means by which upon finding the last channel is at the zero average value in synchrony with the prior channel or channels the output of the entire group of channels may be simultaneously disconnected.
