When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0035] refer to Figure 1This embodiment proposes an airborne multi-channel high-performance audio processing sound card, characterized by comprising a power conversion circuit, a data processing circuit, an audio acquisition circuit, and an audio output circuit. The data processing circuit interacts with the airborne control host and airborne wireless communication equipment, respectively. The data processing circuit is also connected to the audio acquisition circuit and the audio output circuit via an ADDA chip. The input terminal of the audio acquisition circuit is connected to the output terminal of the airborne headset microphone group, and the output terminal of the audio output circuit is connected to the input terminal of the airborne headset microphone group. The input terminal of the power conversion circuit is connected to the airborne multi-channel high-performance audio processing sound card, characterized by comprising a power conversion circuit, a data processing circuit, an audio acquisition circuit, and an audio output circuit. The power supply is connected to the output terminal, which is connected to the audio acquisition circuit, ADDA chip, audio output circuit, and data processing circuit. The power conversion circuit, data processing circuit, audio acquisition circuit, and audio output circuit are all located on the same board. This design not only eliminates the interference and distortion caused by long-distance audio data transmission, but also minimizes the transmission delay of audio data. The external 28V power supply can be converted to ±15V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, and 1.0V through the power conversion circuit, directly powering the various circuits of the sound card.

[0036] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the data processing circuit and the ADDA chip interact via SPI and I2S buses. The data processing circuit configures the parameters of the ADDA chip via the SPI bus and performs audio digital interaction with the ADDA chip via the I2S bus. The number of ADDA chips can be set according to requirements, up to a maximum of 16. Each ADDA chip is connected in parallel and has dual channels. In this embodiment, there are 8 ADDA chips, each interacting with the data processing circuit via an independent I2S bus. The data processing circuit interacts with a maximum of 8 ADDA chips via a single SPI bus. For example, if the number of ADDA chips is less than or equal to 8, only one SPI bus is needed between the data processing circuit and the ADDA chips. If the number of ADDA chips is greater than 8, at least two SPI buses are required between the data processing circuit and the ADDA chips. The processor in the data processing circuit uses the domestically produced Fudan Microelectronics high-performance heterogeneous multi-core SOPC chip FMQL45T900, which integrates a quad-core processor-based Processing System (PS) and FMSH Programmable Logic (PL). The quad-core CPU serves as the core of the PS (Power Sequence Controller), with a maximum operating frequency of 800MHz. It is capable of supporting the embedded operation of domestically produced systems and the macroscopic synchronous operation of various anti-interference voice processing algorithms. The PL (Programmable Logic Unit) side features up to 350K programmable logic units and 16 high-speed serial transceivers, along with on-chip memory and abundant I / O peripherals, enabling flexible expansion of dozens of audio channels and real-time communication via high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, SRIO, and Ethernet. The processor uses an I2S IP core, which is configured and communicates with the processor via the AXI bus. The I2S IP core transmits digital audio to multiple parallel ADDA chips via the I2S bus. The PS part of the processor configures multiple parallel ADDA chips via the SPI bus, thereby achieving synchronous acquisition or playback of multiple analog audio channels. This not only ensures that the acquired multi-channel audio is synchronously transmitted to the data processing circuit for subsequent software processing, but also enables high real-time performance, low distortion, and high signal-to-weight ratio audio playback for headphone groups.

[0038] refer to Figure 4 The surge current suppression circuit includes a MOSFET, specifically an NMOS transistor. The drain (D) of the MOSFET is connected to the onboard power supply, the source (S) is connected to the reverse connection protection circuit, and the gate (G) is connected to one end of a resistor and the lower plate of a capacitor. The other end of the resistor is grounded, and the upper plate of the capacitor is connected to the onboard power supply. The function of the surge current suppression circuit is to reduce the inrush current during startup. The single-channel MOSFET acts as a variable resistor in the initial power-on stage, increasing the overall circuit impedance and suppressing the surge current. At the moment of power-on, the resistor and capacitor form a delayed start-up, controlling the MOSFET to gradually turn on and operate in the variable resistance region, thus achieving the current limiting function.

The input terminal of the first-stage common-mode inductor filter circuit is connected to the reverse connection protection circuit, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the second-stage common-mode inductor filter circuit. The output terminal of the second-stage common-mode inductor filter circuit is connected to the spike pulse suppression circuit. The filtering circuit uses two stages of common-mode inductors for filtering, which can reduce and eliminate interference from high-frequency voltage signals in the power input line.

[0040] refer to Figure 6 The undervoltage protection circuit includes a diode, the anode of which is connected to a surge voltage suppression circuit, and the cathode is connected to an energy storage capacitor and a DC / DC conversion circuit. The undervoltage protection circuit can calculate the size of the energy storage capacitor based on a formula and the power consumption of the device.

[0041] refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the audio acquisition circuit includes a low-pass filter circuit.
