[0025] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this exemplary embodiment provides an audio switching control circuit, referencing... Figure 1As shown, the system includes: an audio control chip 11, a first analog switch 12, a second analog switch 16, a power amplifier unit 13, an operational amplifier unit 17, a first audio playback device 14, and a second audio playback device 15. The audio output port of the audio control chip 11 is connected to the audio input port of the first analog switch 12; the playback control port of the audio control chip 11 is connected to the first input control ports of both the first analog switch 11 and the second analog switch 16. The Wiegand control port of the audio control chip 11 is connected to the second input control port of the second analog switch 16. The first audio output port of the first analog switch 12 is connected to the first audio playback device 14 via the power amplifier unit 13; the second audio output port of the first analog switch 12 is connected to the second input control port of the second analog switch 16 via the operational amplifier unit 17; and the output port of the second analog switch 16 is connected to the second audio playback device 15.

[0026] For example, the audio control chip can be a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) chip used for audio control. For instance, the audio control chip can be a Hi3516 chip. Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, other types of control chips can also be used.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the CODEC port of the audio control chip SOC is connected to the COM ports (COM1 and COM2 ports) of the first analog switch SW1, used to send the left and right channel audio signals (HPL_OUT and HPR_OUT signals) to the first analog switch SW1. The GPIO port of the audio control chip SOC is connected to the first input control port of the first analog switch SW1, used to output the SPK_SW signal (high / low level signal) to the first analog switch SW1. Furthermore, the GPIO port of the audio control chip SOC can also be connected to the first input control port of the second analog switch SW2, used to output the SPK_SW signal to the second analog switch SW2. Another GPIO port of the audio control chip SOC is connected to the power amplifier unit PA, used to output an enable signal (PA_EN signal) to the power amplifier unit PA. Additionally, the WG port of the audio control chip SOC is connected to the A1 port of the second analog switch SW2, used to send the Wiegand output signal (WGOUT_D1 signal) to the second analog switch SW2. The first and second analog switches can be used as control switches for the audio signals.

[0028] For example, the first analog switch SW1 is connected to the power amplifier unit PA through the NO port (NO1 port, NO2 port) and outputs audio signals (HPL_OUT_H signal, HPR_OUT_H signal) to the power amplifier unit PA; the output terminal of the power amplifier unit PA is connected to the speaker.

[0029] The NC ports (NC1 and NC2 ports) of the first analog switch SW1 are connected to the operational amplifier unit OA, outputting HPL_OUT_L and HPR_OUT_L signals to OA. The output of operational amplifier unit OA is connected to the A2 port of the second analog switch SW2, sending HPL_OUT_L and HPR_OUT_L signals. The output port (B port) of the second analog switch SW2 sends audio signals (HPL&R_OUT_L signals) or Wiegand signals (WGOUT_D0 signals) to the connected second audio playback device.

[0030] For example, refer to Figure 3 As shown, switch U1 is the first analog switch, and its fourth port (IN1 port) is connected to the GPIO port of the SOC chip to receive the SPK_SW signal; in addition, the fourth port is connected to the ground terminal after being connected in series with resistor R2.

[0031] For example, operational amplifier U2 can be an internal operational amplifier unit (Audio OA). A coupling filter circuit can also be provided between the NC1 and NC2 ports of switch U1 and the input port (fourth port, IN-) of operational amplifier U2 for signal coupling and filtering. Specifically, the coupling filter circuit can include: capacitors (C2, C3, C4, C5, C8) and resistors (R3, R4); wherein, the first end of capacitor C2 is connected to the NC2 port of operational amplifier U2; the second end of capacitor C2 is connected to the second end of capacitor C3, the first end of resistor R3, the first end of capacitor C4, and the first end of capacitor C5; the first end of capacitor C3 is connected to the NC1 port of operational amplifier U2; the second ends of resistor R3 and capacitor C4 are respectively connected to ground; the second end of capacitor C5 is connected to the first end of resistor R4; the second end of resistor R4 is connected to the fourth port of operational amplifier U2 and the first end of capacitor C8; the second end of capacitor C8 is connected to ground.

[0032] For example, the third port (IN+) of operational amplifier U2 is connected in series with the first filter circuit and the voltage divider circuit, and then connected to the power supply terminal (VCC_5V). The first filter circuit includes capacitors C6 and C7; the third port (IN+) of operational amplifier U2 is connected to the first terminals of capacitors C6 and C7, respectively, and the second terminals of capacitors C6 and C7 are connected to ground. The voltage divider circuit includes resistors R5 and R6; the first terminal of resistor R5 is connected to the power supply terminal, and the second terminal of resistor R5 is connected to the first terminals of resistor R6 and capacitor C6; the second terminal of resistor R6 is connected to ground.

[0033] For example, the fifth port (+VS) of operational amplifier U2 is connected to the power supply terminal (VCC_5V) through a second filter circuit. The second filter circuit includes capacitors (C10, C11, C12) connected in parallel. The first end of each capacitor is connected to the fifth port of operational amplifier U2 and the power supply terminal (VCC_5V), respectively, and the second end of each capacitor is connected to the ground terminal.

[0034] For example, refer to Figure 3 As shown, switch U3 is the second analog switch. The first port (A1) of switch U3 is used to receive the WG_OUT signal; the third port (A2) of switch U3 is connected to the output terminal (first port, OUT) of operational amplifier U2; the fourth port (B) of switch U3 is connected to the second audio playback device; the fifth port of switch U3 is connected to the power supply terminal (VCC_5V) and the first terminal of capacitor C13, and the second terminal of capacitor C13 is connected to the ground terminal. The sixth port (ENB) of switch U3 has an eighth resistor R8 connected in series, used to receive the SPK_SW signal.

[0035] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, power amplifier U4, acting as a power amplifier unit, has its first port (SHDN#) used to receive the enable signal (PA_EN). This first port is connected to the second terminal of resistor R9 and the first terminal of resistor R10. The first terminal of resistor R9 is connected to the GPIO port of the audio control chip SOC; the second terminal of resistor R10 is connected to ground. The second port (BYPASS) of power amplifier U4 is connected to the first terminal of capacitor C16, and the second terminal of capacitor C16 is connected to ground. The third port (IN+) of power amplifier U4 has resistor R11 and capacitor C14 connected in series; the fourth port (IN-) has resistor R12 and capacitor C15 connected in series. The fifth port (VO1) and sixth port (VO2) of power amplifier U4 are connected to a filter circuit, which in turn connects to the speaker. The filter circuit may include capacitors (C18, C19, C20).

[0036] For example, when controlling the internal speaker and Wiegand output, the audio control chip SOC controls its GPIO signal SPK_SW to be high, controlling the first analog switch SW1 to switch the HPL_OUT and HPR_OUT of the SOC's integrated codec to the device's internal Audio PA. Simultaneously, the Wiegand output is output through the second analog switch SW2. When voice playback is required, the SOC enables audio output by pulling its GPIO signal PA_EN high. Audio output from the SOC's integrated codec is switched to the internal speaker output via the first analog switch SW1 and the power amplifier unit Audio PA, while the Wiegand output function remains operational.

[0037] When controlling the external speaker output, the audio control chip SOC controls its GPIO signal SPK_SW to a low level, controlling the first analog switch SW1 to switch the HPL_OUT and HPR_OUT of the SOC's integrated codec to the device's internal AudioOA. Audio OA raises the DC bias of the output audio to half of VCC (5V), and simultaneously amplifies the output HPL_OUT and HPR_OUT. Then, the audio is switched to an external power amplifier via the second analog switch SW2. The audio output from the SOC's integrated codec passes through the first analog switch SW1, the operational amplifier unit Audio OA, and the second analog switch SW2 before being output to the external power amplifier. At this time, the Wiegand output is disabled.

This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
