Abstract

See full text

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a control circuit may be configured to, responsive to an indication to switch between gain modes of a signal path having an analog path portion and a digital signal path portion, switch a selectable analog gain of the analog path portion between a first analog gain and a second analog gain, switch a selectable digital gain of the digital signal path portion between a first digital gain and a second digital gain, wherein the product of the first analog gain and the first digital gain is approximately equal to the product of the second analog gain and the second digital gain, and control an analog response of the signal path to reduce the occurrence of audio artifacts present in the output signal as a result of the switch between gain modes of the signal path.
