A switching audio power amplifier and a method for pop noise suppression.
The switching audio power amplifier includes a pulse width modulation
(PWM) signal generator for generating a PWM signal; a counter for
generating counting values k.sub.1.about.k.sub.N in N time intervals
according to the PWM signal; N switch transistors connected in parallel
and controlled by the counting values k.sub.1.about.k.sub.N to turn on
and off; and an impedance switching unit, which has a gate for receiving
a switching audio signal and one terminal coupled to the switch
transistors, and outputs a signal from the terminal. Because the N switch
transistors are turned on or off one by one at different timings, the
switching audio power amplifier of the invention can effectively suppress
the pop noise.
