手机音Within the cellular handset there are a variety of audio devices, such as amplifiers, analog and digital converters, microphones, and speakers. There are also several categories of each type of device. In addition, there can be a variety of audio generators in the form of Radio, TV, and music players. ArchitecturesA review of some cell phone architectures supporting various audio functions is a good way to understand the audio devices currently used in cellular handsets. Figure 1 below describes a basic cellular handset from an audio requirements point of view. The FM radio, music synthesizer, MP3/WMA decoder, and MUX functions are optional, depending upon the requirements of a particular model. The shaded area shows the optional elements. ? The basic audio devices are, of course, the voice band codec, the microphone, and an earpiece speaker. For the silent ring indicator, it is common to use a DC motor with an off-center weight attached to the motor shaft to create the vibration effect. Depending upon the earpiece speaker impedance and amplifier Gain and output power design, the earpiece speaker often doubles as the ring sound speaker. The MUX block in Fig. 1 is not one single component, but indicates that some sort of switching and mixing may be needed if the outputs of the various audio generators must be usable on some or all of the audio output devices (speakers or mono/stereo headset). In this simple case, the MUX elements (if any are needed) are usually built using discrete analog switches. When used in front of the audio power amplifiers, the switching and mixing are done at relatively low signal voltage and power levels and the analog switches do not have to carry full output load currents. Sometimes, analog switches are used on the output side of the amplifiers as shown in Figure 2 to route audio to the desired location. The disadvantage of this approach is that the analog switches must carry the full load voltage and current. The advantage of
