  • a four pole stereo headset plug is shown in Figure 6 and a four pole mono headset plug is shown in Figure 7 .
  • the switching circuit 88 determines that the electrical connector 58 is not electrically grounded and the processor 14 operates the audio accessory with the adapter switch 90 in the first position.
  • a dc voltage reading from the impedance test that is low indicates that the electrical connector 58 is electrically grounded, and therefore, the accessory is either a headset or headphones.
  • the switch 90 is changed to a second position in which the electrical connector 72 of the jack 42 is in communication with the electrical connector 60 of the plug 48.
  • the processor 14 then performs a second test in order to determine if the electrical connector 60 of the plug 48 is electrically grounded. If the dc voltage reading of the second test is high, the electrical connector 60 is not electrically grounded. Therefore, it follows that the electrical connector 60 is connected to a microphone and the audio accessory is a headset, as indicated at state 108.

Plugs for stereo headphones and mono headphones are shown in Figures 9 and 10 , respectively.
  • a further detection scheme may be performed in order to determine the entire pin-out of the plug 48, as indicated in Figure 5 .

  • a method for connecting the plug 48 of an audio accessory to a portable electronic device is generally shown.
  • the plug 48 is received in the jack 42 of the portable electronic device.
  • the pin-out of the plug 48 is then determined at step 114, as has been previously described, and audio signals from electrically ungrounded electrical connectors of the plug 48 are routed to matching ports of the processor 14 at step 116.
  • FIG. 12 another method for connecting a plug of an audio accessory to a portable electronic device is generally shown.
  • the plug 48 is received in the jack 42 of the portable electronic device.

  • the switching circuit 88 of the described embodiments is suitable for use with plugs having microphone and ground electrical connectors that are located adjacent to one another at the base of the plug and in which at least one of the two connectors located adjacent to the tip of the plug are speaker electrical connectors.
  • Plug pin-outs having this general configuration are shown in Figures 6-10 and are the most common pin-out configurations of headset and headphone accessories. It will, however, be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that a modified switching circuit including additional switches and further impedance testing could be provided to allow for pin-out determination of any pin-out configuration.
