8.3 General Design Rules

There are several configurations for the audio output path, but the various design requirements can be grouped into three different categories:

•handset earphone (low power, typically a handset)

•hands-free earphone (low power, typically a earphone)

•car kit speakerphone (high power, typically a speaker)

The three groups have different power requirements, usually the first two applications need only few mW of power, which can be directly drained from the GE863-QUAD / PY pads, provided a suited speaker is used. This direct connect design is the cheaper and simpler solution and will be suited for the most of the earphone design requirements. There's no need to decouple the output ear lines if a suited earpiece is connected. For the last group, the speakerphone, a power amplifier is required to raise the output power up to 5-10W required in a car cabin application.

All the designs shall comply with the following guidelines:

•Where possible use a bridged earphone circuitry, to achieve the maximum power output from the device.

•Keep the earphone traces on the PCB and wires as short as possible.

•If your application requires a single ended earpiece and you want a direct connection, then leave one of the two output lines open and use only the other referred to ground. Remember that in this case the power output is 4 times lower than the bridged circuit and may not be enough to ensure a good voice volume.

•Make sure that the earphone traces in the PCB don't cross or run parallel to noisy traces (especially the power line)

•The cable to the speaker shall be a twisted pair with both the lines floating for the bridged output type, shielded with the shield to ground for the single ended output type.

8.3.1 Noise Filtering

The I/O of the PCB should have a noise filter close to the connector, to filter the high frequency GSM noise. The filter can be a Π formed by 2 capacitor and a inductance, with the one capacitor of 39pF - 0603 case , and the other capacitor of 1nF - 0603; the inductance shall have a value of 39μH .
