[0032] This embodiment discloses a test device including a speaker driver circuit. Please refer to... Figure 1 The speaker driver circuit includes an input module 100, a gain switching module 200, and a signal amplification module 300. The gain switching module 200 includes a multiplexer unit 210, a rotary encoder switch unit 220, and a dynamic gain amplifier unit 230. The first input terminal of the multiplexer unit 210 is connected to the rotary encoder switch unit 220, and the second input terminal of the multiplexer unit 210 is connected to a gain resistor network 240 and connected to the input module 100 through the gain resistor network 240. The output terminal of the multiplexer unit 210 is connected to the dynamic gain amplifier unit 230, and the input terminal of the signal amplification module 300 is connected to the output terminal of the dynamic gain amplifier unit 230.
[0033] The input module 100 inputs the signal to the gain switching module 200. The gain switching module 200 achieves gain control and signal amplification through a multiplexer unit 210, a rotary encoder switch unit 220, and a dynamic gain amplifier unit 230. The rotary encoder switch unit 220 converts the mechanical rotation of the knob into digital pulses or analog voltage / current signals, which are then input to the multiplexer unit 210. The multiplexer unit 210 switches the path according to the input signal from the rotary encoder switch unit 220, thereby changing the gain of the dynamic gain amplifier unit 230 in conjunction with the gain resistor network 240, achieving primary signal amplification and output, which is then output through the signal amplification module 300. This provides multi-level gain control to meet the testing requirements of speakers with different power levels, thereby improving testing accuracy.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 The input module 100 includes an input interface unit 110 and a differential amplifier unit 120. The input interface unit 110 is connected to the input terminal of the differential amplifier unit 120, and the output terminal of the differential amplifier unit 120 is connected to the gain switching module 200. The differential amplifier unit 120 can achieve balanced signal reception, eliminate common-mode interference, and achieve impedance matching of the input stage to adapt to the output characteristics of different audio source devices, and amplify the signal through a fixed gain for output. A coupling capacitor is connected to the input terminal of the differential amplifier unit 120, such as... Figure 2 As shown by C601 and C602, the input interface unit 110 and the differential amplifier unit 120 can be coupled together to improve anti-interference capability. The differential amplifier unit 120 uses an INA134UA integrated circuit, as shown by U603 in the figure. It employs a fully differential structure to achieve a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) >100dB, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference introduced by long-distance transmission. Furthermore, its ultra-low noise density provides a foundation for a high signal-to-noise ratio in subsequent amplification.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second input terminal of the multiplexer unit 210 has multiple gain selection pins, such as... Figure 3 As shown by markings S1-S8 in chip U604, the gain resistor network 240 includes multiple series-connected resistor units 241. Each resistor unit 241 includes one or more resistors. Gain nodes, such as nodes S21-S27, are provided between adjacent resistor units 241. The gain nodes are connected to the gain selection pins of the multiplexer switch unit 210. For example, the number of gain selection pins is 8 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown by markings S1-S8 in chip U604, the first gain selection pin (as shown by marking S8) is connected to the input module 100, the second gain selection pin (as shown by marking S1) is connected to the reference voltage terminal, and the remaining gain selection pins (as shown by markings S2-S7) are connected to the corresponding gain nodes (as shown by markings S22-S27) of the gain resistor network 240. Please refer to... Figure 5 The dynamic gain amplifier unit 230 uses an OPA1611 integrated circuit, as indicated by the label U605. It allows for variable gain setting via the gain resistor network 240 and provides low voltage noise through a built-in BJT (brick-and-tube) input stage. The OPA1611 integrated circuit employs a current feedback architecture to achieve high conversion efficiency, ensuring phase consistency of the audio signal. It also features built-in overload protection circuitry to prevent clipping distortion, meeting THD+N requirements, and uses a high-frequency roll-off network to suppress radio frequency interference, improving circuit stability.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 6 The signal amplification module 300 includes a first amplification unit and a second amplification unit. Figure 6 (Only the circuit schematic of the first amplification unit is shown). The input terminals of both the first and second amplification units are connected to the output terminal of the dynamic gain amplification unit 230. Dual-channel amplification can be achieved through the first and second amplification units to meet testing requirements. The first and second amplification units have the same structure. The first amplification unit uses an LM3886 integrated circuit, which has a differential input stage, a current drive stage, and an output stage. The differential input stage receives the signal from the previous stage and converts it into a differential form, improving dynamic range and anti-interference capability. The current drive stage converts the voltage signal into a high-current signal. The output stage uses a bipolar transistor push-pull structure to achieve signal output. Furthermore, the LM3886 integrated circuit integrates over-temperature protection, over-current protection, and DC offset protection, which helps improve the stability of circuit operation.
[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
