In order to meet the input signal requirements of the subsequent audio amplifier, the audio processing circuit as the front stage usually has to set a very high working voltage to ensure that the amplitude of the output signal is large enough and the distortion is as small as possible. However, this requires the commonly used board-level voltage (3~5V) to be boosted and then the audio processing chip is powered separately, which increases the cost of the application. Therefore, it is necessary to design an audio processing circuit that can still output high-fidelity signals at low voltage.

Especially when the operating voltage is low and the input signal amplitude is small, the conduction loss of the switch and the influence of the amplifier nonlinearity will become more obvious. The audio processing circuit converts the distorted signal v out Transmitting the signal to an audio amplifier for amplification will greatly affect the output effect of the car audio.
