The main control module is connected to the threshold detection circuit and the filter and rectifier circuit. The threshold detection circuit detects the signal amplified by the signal amplification circuit. The filter and rectifier circuit processes the signal before entering the main control module.

[0025] This audio small signal detection circuit can convert manual control into automatic control, improve the automation level of the circuit, and reduce energy waste and loss of audio equipment; at the same time, its hardware cost is low and it can be easily added to the system design, greatly enhancing the application range of the circuit.

[0026] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an audio small signal detection control circuit shown in an embodiment of the present utility model application.

[0027] See also Figure 2 The signal source V1 is used to provide an audio signal, connected to the signal amplifying circuit, and provide a system judgment source.

[0028] See also Figure 2The signal amplification circuit includes resistors R1 and R2, capacitor C1, and an operational amplifier U1A. The operational amplifier has a non-inverting input connected to ground and an inverting input connected to resistor R1. The operational amplifier U1A is connected in parallel with resistor R2 and capacitor C1. The signal amplification circuit is configured to amplify a signal input from a signal source V1, causing the signal to reach a detection threshold and isolating the signal from interfering with the signal source.

[0029] See also Figure 2 The threshold detection circuit comprises resistors R3, R4, and R5, and a transistor Q1. The base of transistor Q1 is connected in series with resistor R3 and in parallel with resistor R4. One end of resistor R4 is connected to the base of transistor Q1, and the other end is connected to the emitter of transistor Q1. The collector of transistor Q1 is connected in series with resistor R5. The threshold detection circuit is used to determine the magnitude threshold of the amplified signal.

[0030] See also Figure 2 The filter and rectifier circuit is provided with a capacitor C2, one end of which is connected to the emitter of the transistor Q1, and the other end is connected to the collector of the transistor Q1. The filter and rectifier circuit is used to filter and rectify the AC or switching signal and output a stable DC signal.

[0031] See also Figure 2 The capacitor C2 and the transistor Q1 are connected in parallel to a port IO1, which is connected to the system MCU. The port IO1 and the system MCU form the main control module for detecting the output level of the filter and rectifier circuit. The main control module controls the operating state of the entire system based on the output level of the filter and rectifier circuit.

[0032] See also Figure 2 The power supply module is provided with a power supply VCC, a power supply VSS, and a power supply VDD, which are used to supply power to the main control module, the signal amplification circuit, the threshold detection circuit, and the filter rectifier circuit, and maintains power supply when entering the standby state.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In this audio small signal detection circuit, the signal source V1 provides an audio signal. After the audio input signal passes through the signal amplification circuit, it reaches the threshold detection circuit. When the audio input signal is less than the threshold, the IO1 port outputs a high level. After the main control module where the MCU is located detects the high level for a long time, it controls the power supply except for the detection circuit to cut off, so that the entire system enters standby or shutdown mode. When the audio input signal is greater than the threshold, the IO1 port outputs a low level. After the main control module where the MCU is located detects the low level, it controls the entire system to restart operation. The power module supplies power to the main control module, the signal amplification circuit, the threshold detection circuit, and the filter and rectifier circuit, so that they enter normal working state.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This audio low-signal detection and control circuit, when the signal source is silent for an extended period, outputs a high level to the main control module. The main control module then shuts off all power except for the detection circuit and enters standby or shutdown mode. Upon signal input, the detection circuit outputs a low level to the main control module, resuming operation. This effectively prevents energy waste and shortened product lifespan caused by prolonged non-use. While improving the circuit's automation level, its low hardware cost makes it widely applicable to various audio devices.
