Understanding Microphone, Earpiece, and IHF (Buzzer) Circuits on Mobile Phones
Introduction to Audio Components
Mobile phones rely on several key audio components to transmit and receive sound signals. The microphone or mouthpiece converts your voice into electrical signals, while the earpiece speaker converts electrical signals back into sound for the user to hear. Similarly, the IHF (buzzer) speaker handles ringtones, alerts, and other notification sounds.
All of these components serve as essential user interface elements on a mobile phone and are controlled by the Audio Codec Circuit, which manages and converts audio frequency signals throughout the device.
Microphone (Mouthpiece) Circuit
Modern microphone circuits are often protected by an EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Filter to prevent sound distortion or interruptions. After passing through the EMI filter, the audio signal is sent to the audio codec circuit. Some microphone designs do not include an EMI filter.
The microphone signal is carried via two lines (positive and negative polarity). These lines typically pass through capacitors to remove any DC current before reaching the audio codec. This ensures a clean audio signal for optimal performance.
