Turner et al. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/188,778, entitled “Audio Jack Detection and Configuration,” filed on Jul. 22, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In an example, the audiojack detection switch 115 can be configured to detect what is connected to the pole-3 and pole-4 connections of the audio jack.

In an example, thedetection circuit 118 can be configured to detect or measure the impedance of the pole-3 and pole-4 connections of the audio jack by selectively coupling one of the GND/MIC1 or GND/MIC2 connections to thedetection circuit 118.

Further, the high impedance DC measurement technique can minimize the pop & click in headphones or speakers. - In an example, the first and

FIG. 5 illustrates generally an example detection flow diagram 500 including detecting the impedance of audio plug poles (e.g., the GND and MIC poles on a four-pole audio plug, pole-3 and pole-4, etc.) and validating the detection (e.g., using a series of sequential detections, using different detection stages, etc.). If the detection is invalid or unknown, the impedance can be re-detected. In an example, if the detection is valid, the audio jack detection switch can automatically route the poles to the proper connections (e.g., the GND pole to a GND connection, the MIC pole to a MIC connection on the audio sub system, etc.) and enter an active low power state. - At 501, a baseband processor (e.g., the baseband processor 105) can provide an enable (EN) signal to an audio jack detection switch (e.g., the audio jack detection switch 115) and, at 502, a detection circuit (e.g., the detection circuit 118) can be turned on. In an example, the detection circuit can be triggered by detecting that the audio jack has received an audio plug.
- At 503, a switch (e.g., the switch 128) in the detection circuit can be opened and closed. At 504, when the detection is complete, the state of the comparators (e.g., first and
second comparators 125, 126) can be queried. - At 504, if the state of the connections is known, at 505, the audio jack detection switch can automatically route both the audio plug poles to the appropriate connection (e.g., GND, MIC, etc.), such as by using the crosspoint switch. At 506, an active low power state can be enabled. At 507, if the enable signal remains low for a specific time period, a disabled low power state can be entered, and process flow can return to
step 501. - At 504, if the state of the connections is unknown, a counter can be incremented at 509. At 510, if the count is less than a first number (e.g., 2, etc.), the process can return to
step 503. At 510, if the count is equal to the first number (e.g., 2, etc.), the audio jack detection switch can default to a three-pole audio plug and automatically route both of the pole-3 and pole-4 connections to GND. -
FIG. 6 illustrates generally an example detection flow diagram 600 including detecting the impedance of audio plug poles. Generally, the switch coupling the current source to the detection circuit can be open to detect no connection or to determine if pole-3 and pole-4 are floating. To detect for MIC polarity or for a short, the switch can be closed. - At 601, a detection circuit can be turned on. At 602, the switch can be opened, and the audio jack detection switch can be configured to detect a float with a debounce of 1 mS. At 603, the sample is taken a predetermined number of times (e.g., three times within a sample period, (e.g., tSAMPLE*0.5, tSAMPLE*0.75, tSAMPLE*1.0, etc.). At 604, if each of the predetermined number of samples are detected as floating, an active low power state can be entered at 618, and process flow can return to step 602.
- Generally, when a float is detected, the detection circuit can enter a low power mode for a specified time period (e.g., tPOLE). After the specified time period, the detection circuit can detect again. If a float is detected again, the low power mode loop can continue if the detection is not float, the detection device can move on to test for a short or MIC polarity. If a float is ever detected, the detection device can default back to the low power state for the specified time period.
- At 604, if each of the predetermined number of samples are not detected as floating after a period of time at 605, the audio jack can be detected at 606 as a four-pole audio jack and the switch can be closed.
- At 607, variables “A” and “B” are set at an initial value and then compared, at 608, to the values of the first and second comparators. At 610, if there are no changes to the values of the first and second comparators, a high frequency count can be reset. At 611, if the values of the first and second comparators are still valid, then the detection is complete at 612. If the values of the first and second are not valid, process flow can return to step 607.
- At 608, if the values of the first and second comparators changed, then at 609, the high frequency count can be incremented. At 613, if the high frequency count is less than a specified number (e.g., three, etc.), process flow can return to step 607. If the high frequency count is equal to the specified number, the values of variables “A” and “B” can be updated at 614 and a GSM count can be incremented at 615. At 616, process flow returns to step 607 until a time period is reached. During this period, if the values of the first and second comparators continues to change, the number of GSM count, representing GSM noise, can continue to increase.
- At 617, once the timer has maxed out, the GSM count can be compared to a range, illustrated in
FIG. 6 as greater than 34 but less than 54. In an example, this range can correspond to the approximate number of faults caused by GSM noise during the time period ofstep 616, or approximately 217 Hz. If the GSM count is not within the range, at 618 the noise at the comparator output must be audio noise, indicating a four-pole audio jack with a forward biased microphone and pole-3 corresponding to the MIC pole. At 619, detection is exited. At 617, if the GSM count is within the range, then GSM noise is causing the error, and process flow returns to step 618. -
FIG. 7 illustrates generally anexample comparator output 700 including a plurality ofGSM noise occurrences 705, at approximately 217 Hz, the burst rate of the GSM transmission, causing the output of the comparator to change values, for example, at 710. In certain examples, the comparator changes can be counted, and GSM noise can be distinguished from audio noise by the number of occurrences during a specified time period. -
FIG. 8 illustrates generally an example microphoneaudio output 800, including amicrophone output 805. When a microphone is forward biased, the JFET type microphone can change impedance with audio noise. During detection, these impedance changes can cause the comparators to change states. This state change can pass the comparator voltage references, and the audio filter will identify when audio is present. Generally, the audio jack detection switch can identify audio noise from GSM noise by the frequency or total occurrences of the noise within a specified time period. - The above detailed description includes references to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the detailed description.
