Smartphone Audio Amplifier Circuit Design and PA Selection Smartphone Audio Amplifier Circuit Design Detailed Explanation 2012-05-09 10:10 Source: ON Semiconductor Author: Zhiming I want to comment (0) Smartphone audio experience still has room for improvement In recent years, smartphones have integrated more and more functions, but in terms of basic audio amplification applications, there is still room for further improvement in terms of performance optimization and user audio experience. This article will focus on the performance requirements of smartphone speaker amplifiers and headphone amplifiers, introduce ON Semiconductor\'s corresponding audio amplification solutions, and a new audio subsystem solution that integrates stereo headphone amplifiers, Class D speaker amplifiers and I2C control - audio management integrated circuits (AMIC). Speaker amplifier performance requirements and solutions For smartphones, the desired speaker amplifier should provide low electromagnetic interference (EMI) to avoid interference with other radio frequency (RF) circuits in smartphones. In terms of actual user applications, users sometimes want to make hands-free voice calls in public places, and sometimes want to watch videos with audio playback. This requires the speaker amplifier to provide a highly recognizable output volume while providing low distortion. In addition, low noise is also an important feature that the desired speaker amplifier provides. Specifically, this requires the speaker amplifier to have a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) to suppress the time division multiple access (TDMA) noise generated by battery voltage fluctuations during GSM signal transmission; it also requires no pop and click noise during turn-on and turn-off.

If Class D amplifiers provide extremely low EMI, avoid interference with other RF circuits...
