Often, there are multiple audio sources in a system giving the user options on which source will connect to the speaker. To enable switching between these sources, a TMUX4827 can be used. The line-in can be biased to a negative voltage, and class-D amplifier output can be higher than the typically used 3V and 5V supplies. So any circuitry connected needs to handle this bipolar voltage. This same scheme can be used in systems where there are multiple speaker outputs and one source as well. Here the switch is used to switch from an internal speaker to an external one. Figure 8-1 shows the block diagram for these applications. Here a TLV320AIC3x is used as an audio codec driving a TPA313x class D audio amplifier. Additionally, if IEC protection is needed on the external connectors (audio jack input or external speaker), then a 2 channel TPD2E007 can be used.
The TMUX4827 can be used to switch up to ±12V with a supply voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V. The supply can also be driven directly with a GPIO, allowing the user to put the device into ultra-low power mode. In this mode, the TMUX4827 operates with powered-off protection, so any high voltage present on the inputs will not propagate to the outputs. This feature allows for the correct power up cycling and increases system robustness. Additionally, the TMUX4827 features excellent THD+N performance, so there is minimal impact to the audio signal quality through the switch. This allows the system designer to save a significant portion of board area without impacting signal integrity.
