[0055] In the embodiment, the communication signals on the communication bus are converted into direct current power signals through the first inductor and the second inductor, and the direct current power signals are loaded to both ends of the light emitting element of the photoelectric coupler, and then the collector and the emitter of the internal triode in the photoelectric coupler are instructed to be turned on. At this time, the power supply signal of the power supply end is output to the second triode through the photoelectric coupler, and then the first triode is controlled to be turned on through the second triode, so that the control circuit outputs the wake-up signal to wake up the entire power amplifier system of the car audio. The wake-up signal is a power supply signal or a power voltage or an enable signal, etc. It should be noted that when the communication bus is used for data transmission, the power supply on the controller 200 will be automatically turned off, and at this time, the power supply on the car audio 100 will not be woken up.

The communication signals transmitted on the communication bus 10 are data signals. The communication signals can be transmitted by the controller, or can be transmitted by other devices.
[0058] The control circuit 20 supplies power to the control chip MUC according to whether there is a communication signal on the communication bus 10, so that the control chip MUC works, and then controls the entire car audio to work, so as to realize the wake-up function.
[0059] The application has the advantages that: the communication signal on the communication bus is sensed by the control circuit, and a wake-up signal is output when the communication signal on the communication bus is sensed, so as to wake up the whole vehicle audio and make the vehicle audio work, and when there is no communication signal on the communication bus, the vehicle audio is kept in a dormant state, so that energy saving is realized.
