Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of audio control technology, specifically relating to a lossless remote control audio signal circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when using a remote control to adjust the signal in a car power amplifier, a telephone jack is connected to a potentiometer via a wire. The resistance of the adjustable potentiometer changes the signal strength, thereby controlling the amplifier's output power. The connection method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. In this connection method, the wire length is approximately 5m, and it is not a twisted-pair cable. Due to the antenna effect caused by the wire, interference is easily introduced. Furthermore, after the two ends are connected, the voltage division effect of the resistor causes signal attenuation. Specifically, in the speaker, when the remote control is connected, the sound volume is noticeably reduced, and a "buzzing" sound appears. This noise is perceptible to the human ear and severely affects the auditory experience. Summary of the Invention

The clock signal output pin of the microprocessor is connected to the clock signal input pin of the electronic volume controller. The data signal output pin of the microprocessor is connected to the data signal input pin of the electronic volume controller. The electronic volume controller has an audio signal input pin and an audio signal output pin. The microprocessor samples the voltage change of the potentiometer and converts it into a corresponding data signal, which is then output to the electronic volume controller through the data signal output pin. At the same time, the microprocessor outputs an enable signal and a clock signal to the electronic volume controller. The electronic volume controller performs three-wire serial data control on the input audio signal according to the received data signal, enable signal, and clock signal to change its volume, and outputs the volume to the power amplifier through the audio signal output pin. The potentiometer is connected to a rotary remote control. When the remote control is rotated, the resistance of the potentiometer changes, causing a voltage change. The microprocessor's AD sampling pin detects the voltage change and converts it into a digital signal. This digital signal, along with the enable and clock signals, is sent to the electronic volume controller. Simultaneously, the preamplifier audio signal is input to the electronic volume controller. The electronic volume controller uses the data, enable, and clock signals to perform three-wire serial data control on the input audio signal, achieving digital adjustment of the input audio signal's volume.

The B outL pin of the electronic volume controller is used as the audio output pin. The audio signal after volume adjustment is output to the external amplifier through this pin; this pin is connected to a polarized capacitor.

The positive terminal of the second capacitor C92 is connected to the B out L pin of the electronic volume controller, and the negative terminal is connected to the external power amplifier.

The P0 pin of this microcontroller serves as the data signal output pin, connected to the data signal input pin DATA of the electronic volume controller via resistor R198; the P2 pin serves as the clock signal output pin, connected to the clock signal input pin CLOCK of the electronic volume controller via resistor R67; the P3 pin serves as the AD acquisition pin, connected to the potentiometer VR100 via a third resistor R246; the P4 pin serves as the enable signal output pin, connected to the latch signal input pin LATCH of the electronic volume controller via resistor R60A; and the P5 pin serves as the protection signal output pin, connected to the power amplifier protection circuit. Specifically, the power amplifier protection circuit includes a first resistor R244, a second resistor R245, a transistor Q16, a diode D2P, and a third capacitor C192. The first terminal of the first resistor R244 is connected to the protection signal output pin P5 of the microprocessor. The second terminal of the first resistor R244 is connected to the first terminal of the second resistor R245 and the base of the transistor Q16. The second terminal of the second resistor R245 is grounded. The emitter of the transistor Q16 is grounded, and its collector is connected to the cathode of the diode D2P and the first terminal of the third capacitor C192. The anode of the diode D2P outputs an SD signal to the power amplifier. The second terminal of the third capacitor C192 is grounded. It should be noted that the potentiometer used in this embodiment is a VR1000B linear potentiometer.
