The functional component 30 may be provided on the inner wall of the pressure sensing part, that is, the position of the inner wall of the housing 10 corresponding to the pressure sensing part 100.

[0031] In the present disclosure, the pressure sensing portion 100 may be a portion on the housing for the user to press, but the user's pressing does not cause the pressure sensing portion 100 to move. The pressure sensing portion 100 and the housing 10 are integrated, for example, may be a solid-state button.

For example, the first pressure-sensitive portion 101 may be a power button, that is, the user controls the power on and off of the electronic device 1 by applying pressure to the first pressure-sensitive portion 101. For example, the second pressure-sensitive portion 102 may be a volume button, that is, the user controls the volume of the speaker of the electronic device 1 by applying pressure to the first pressure-sensitive portion 101.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the first pressure sensor 51 and the second pressure sensor 52 can transmit differential signals (V+ and V−) to the signal receiving module 70 .

[0035] It should be pointed out that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the number and purpose of the pressure-sensitive parts, as long as they can meet the user's pressing needs.

[0036] In the present disclosure, the functional component 30 may include one or more of a vibrating component, a sound-generating component, and a light-emitting component.

For example, when the electronic device is turned off, after the user presses the pressure sensing part 100, the pressure sensing control circuit can work normally, so it can drive the functional components to work, such as driving the vibrator to vibrate to provide feedback to the user. In addition, since the pressure sensing control circuit can work normally in the off state, the pressure sensing control circuit can also be used to transmit signals to perform the power-on function.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the signal receiving module 70 can be electrically connected to the pressure sensing part 100 and the power supply module 20, and the power supply module 20 supplies power to the signal receiving module 70.

Such a setting can ensure the stability of the power supply voltage and low power consumption loss. Moreover, according to such a setting, it can be ensured that the driving module 40, the signal receiving module 70, etc. can all output stably when the battery voltage is unstable.

[0060] The voltage lower than 3.3V is boosted to 3.3V, and the voltage higher than 3.3V is directly bypassed and directly output to the LDO voltage regulator. Such a setting can ensure stable supply voltage and low power loss.

[0073] In this disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the signal receiving module 70 can amplify and ADC convert the analog voltage signal of the pressure sensor, and by setting a certain signal threshold, the button IO outputs a high or low signal to the power management module 61 (power management chip, such as PMIC). At the same time, the MCU in the signal receiving module 70 communicates with the control module 62 (for example, the AP and CPU of the electronic device) through I2C to process some pressure-sensitive signals and signals for identifying displacement to realize the sliding function.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the signal receiving module 70 and the control module 62 can communicate via I2C, for example, signals I2C_SCL, I2C_SDA, etc. The signal receiving module 70 and the control module 62 can also transmit signals INT (for example, initialization signal) and RESET (for example, reset signal).
