- the device can be arranged to automatically select the appropriate applications software based on the identified functionality. Non-compatible applications software may be indicated as such, for example, by preventing selection by the user whilst the particular AV plug is inserted.
- the detection system includes different pull-up voltages and resistors.
- the ADC measurement ranges, in the example circuitry, is 0-1.35 V and interrupt threshold 0.5-0.7 V. Additionally, a data switch may be used that directly shorts the line.
- Figure 1 shows various pull-up characteristics of the detection system.
- A) ECI circuit in the cable needs low-impedance analog switch ECI system and video detection.
- the video detection is needed to synchronize the video switch and identification.
- a time out is needed to disable the switch. After time out, an interrupt is generated to inform the host that the load is disabled. If the system is facing low impedance, it recognizes that the phone is still having video buffer load and the time counter is reset. If there is a response, the host has control. If there is no response, the accessory expects that it is disconnected.
- a resistor in the cable can be used but remains as the load all the time, thus consuming power. If the source impedance is corrected with a serial resistor, the situation is even worse.
- the resistor value should be such that it is not making Microphone/TTY (TTY is a teletype equipment comprising a keyboard and a ' " display for the hearing impaired)recognition ' and also below the interrupt threshold leading to a range of 300 ⁇ ... 600 ⁇ . This may consume too much video power and thus m ⁇ not be feasible.
- the detection does not work when the TV-end is mated. This kind of resistor could, however, be used to indicate specific headphones having no signal in the microphone line.
- a band-gap reference diode application gives the best detection capability.
- a micro-power voltage reference diode LM285 has a voltage of 1.235 and the tolerance is 1%, 2% or 3%. Even if ESD resistors are used in series (2 x 50 ⁇ ) the voltage stays in the ADC range. The voltage stays in the specified range with 10 ⁇ A to 20 mA current. If the voltage is measured with two different pull-up resistors, the current is changing but the voltage stays stable. In this way, the resistive load can be separated and the detection is reliable.
- the video max voltage needs to be limited to 1.2 V, which is advantageous due to power consumption.
- the standard video signal is 1 Vpp ⁇ 3 dB, but in this case -3 dB ... + 1.5 dB needs to be defined. This detection is not active when the TV-end is mated.
- Figure 2 shows a video cable identifier
- Figure 3 shows detection ranges for use in video cable detection.
- interrupt pulse is valid from 0 V to 0.5 V and the higher value has a tolerance of up to 0.7 V.
- the AC load detection needs to be taken into account.
- an integrated circuit incorporating a system according to Figure 4 there will be an embedded detection pulse that gives the possibility to detect a 75 ⁇ load being DC coupled or AC coupled generally with a 470 ⁇ F ... 2200 ⁇ F capacitor (that is currently obligatory ⁇ in Japan).
- the voltage depends on the time for which the bias is applied.
- the time constant is Is ... 5s. If the voltage is applied for too long, the voltage will be able the ADC range.
- the following elements are used:
- the detection has several phases and therefore the detection algorithm needs to identify a lot of different situations, which may mean temporarily erroneous detections.
- the detection is a combination of the above-mentioned elements.
- Cable detection (band-gap diode) identification improves reliability in addition to detection but the system must cope with standard cables.
- Embedded AC-detection in the TV-signal can be used if the video signal is used for identification ( Figure 4).
- the video signal synchronization pulse on line 3 may have in the system an additional synchronised detection pulse, and the amplitude of this pulse is monitored in the TV-encoder block. This gives add-on data for the detection. For instance, when TV is changed to headphones in the adapter, there is no detection of the change the previously-described methods. This problem does not arise in the DC-measurement case with an embedded pulse.
- Figure 4 shows a detection arrangement for AC-coupled and DC-coupled load.
- Some data signals including TV signals, have fixed pattern including "1" signal or equivalent. Having a synchronised pulse that can gate this signal level will enable detection of the signal.
- the mating adds load from the accessory termination that halves the impedance and hence this can be measured as voltage change. With AC-coupled load the measurement expects that the video content is kept constant (eg. black) during measurement and that the time is adequate for charge stabilization.
- DC-coupled case works any time and can easily detect a change in the loading.
- the AC algorithm needs longer integration time as the average DC is slightly affected from the coupling.
- a menu is presented to the user, whereby the user can select the functionality of the peripheral device.
- the menu includes limited options, with several possibilities having been ruled out following the partial identification.
- the detection can be made with voltage measurements in the mixed signal IC (integrated circuit).
- the usable AD converter range is 0 ... 1.35 V, and 1024 steps represents about 1.3 mV accuracy per step. Other ranges can be used.
- a TV-cable load that does not have a serial capacitor can be measured with the AD using, for instance, the. -2.2 k bias resistor and a supply of ⁇ 2.1 V.
- the measurement involves a serial resistor of about 50 ohms in the ASIP (i.e. Application Specific Integrated Processor is an integration technology incorporating, for instance, resistors and in this case the 50 ohm resistor is added to provide ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection) and 75 ohms load.
- the tolerances of the supply voltage and resistors make it difficult to perform exact load resistor measurement. It is difficult to separate 50 and 125 ohms without calibration in production. If it is adequate only to know that the load impedance is low, calibration can be avoided. The calibration improves detection performance and so it can separate other non-specified loads.
- the same AD can be used to detect an accessory if it has in the microphone line a suitable voltage (0 ... 1.35 V) that can be generated with a load resistor or external voltage source.
- a suitable external voltage source is available in carkits, for example.
- Use of external voltages requires microphone disconnection during measurement.
- the microphone bias needs to be disabled during measurement to allow for measurement of the external voltage without too much error.
- the external voltage could come from a low impedance source, allowing the measurement to be done in the microphone line with the bias supply point shorted.
- This system is sufficiently accurate to measure several voltage levels, ie. from different accessories. Four levels can be detected with ⁇ 1.2% references and equivalent clearances.
- the measurement system uses interrupts from the host microphone mode.
- the accessory needs a comparator, a monoflop, a switch and a reference voltage source.
- the monoflop stage provides switching time for the reference voltage and this system has a stable period for measuring whereas other eg. bistable based circuits arrangement potentially go to the wrong state caused by interferences.
- By detecting the presence of a microphone line bias voltage enabling control of the carkit can be provided.
- the host bias needs to be disabled to prevent erroneous accessory identification in the case when a basic headset is inserted.
- Figure 5 shows a voltage detection circuit for a sample carkit.
- the basic accessory detection in the host side depending on filtering time constant expects, for example, -100 ms reset, done with the microphone bias connected to GND. During a period of 50 ... 100 ms the accessory needs to deliver an identification voltage.
- the long interrupt from the host needs to disable the ECI response and to provide basic system functionality instead.
- the host may incorporate either of these identification systems which will coexist.
- the basic system might be used in hosts which do not have a data mode but microphone mode only.
- the microphone mode allows the bias source to be connected to the bias voltage, GND, or alternatively, it can float.
- the microphone input needs to be connected to a hook- detector DA to provide for accurate voltage measurement.
- Headphone amplifier TPA4411 (a headphone amplifier supplied by Texas Instruments) output R-line might be shorted by a mono headset plug.
- serial resistors ⁇ 15 ohms are used as protection of the output lines, although these will reduce the efficiency of low-impedance headphones.
- the serial resistors help in the filtering of charge pump interferences which is advantageous also in ESD protection.
- an R-channel load detector is used. This consists of a comparator and needs two GPIOs for operation, as it mutes the R-channel after detection. The R-channel mute is maintained until the plug is unmated. The circuitry expects some enhancement in the interference and ESD protection as the serial resistor sizes are reduced. Providing a proper low-frequency synthetic signal to the input when detecting the load enhances detection reliability.
- Figure 8 shows a headphone load detection circuit
- Vana is supply voltage
- Rmeasurement is a pull- up resistor used in measurement being in series with the load during measurement
- ADC offset is measurement error.
- a signal level of ⁇ 0.7 V is interpreted as an interrupt.
- the microphone signal needs to be prevented from going low in any circumstances.
- One solution for this is a serial resistor.
- the resistor reduces gain by about 2 ... 3 dB.
- Figure 9 shows an interrupt signal in comparison to a microphone signal.
- host phone
- the sound channel is first muted then an interrupt is created which starts data transfer to/from the accessory. After this transaction, sound channel operation is restored.
- the accessory makes an interrupt, it gives a "soft" interrupt, switches microphone off (removes disturbing signal and gives also more current for the ECI), the host mutes sound after interrupt detection, and makes data transfer to/from the accessory. The accessory is then connected to the microphone and the host restores sound channel operation.
- Figure 10 is a table of interrupt cases.
- the system has a requirement for S -video and stereo sound signals output.
- interfacing analog audio signals are expected.
- digital audio is expected.
- the digital galvanic audio signal has a problem relating to the interface with the video.
- power is needed for the circuitry that converts audio to analog signals.
- the powering line provides identification with ECI, before the system is latched to provide power to the accessory until the plug is disconnected.
- a sleep mode may be provided that is under SW control and unpowers the accessory when needed.
- Figure 11 shows an S-video interface
- Another solution is to superimpose the high-frequency data onto the supply voltage.
- the separation coil may be very bulky and this solution may not be considered so advantageous.
- Figure 12 illustrates the superimposition of data onto a supply voltage.
- the detection procedure starts from the detection of plug insertion or an interrupt pulse, and includes one or more of the following.
- the mic line bias is used for ECI powering /"Stealing of power from the low voltage bias.
- Bias is connected with a serial resistor from supply voltage to microphone.
- the serial resistor works as load resistor and microphone signal is so present as voltage over this resistor typically 2.2 k ohms.
- Microphone takes typically 250 uA bias current and up to 150 uA DC current is so available for ECI ("stealing").
- the current In ECI sleep state, the current is about 10 uA meaning that the smoothing can be done more efficiently.
- the microphone load is switched off giving full 400 uA load current for ECI so that the active mode current need can be served.
- the active mode also uses stored charge voltage in the smoothing capacitor.
- the interrupt signal that starts the identification process may be initiated by the accessory or by the phone-terminal and includes microphone switching to remove the mic load and signal.
- the interrupt signal creates a data mode to both ends for the required time period.
- the interrupt signal includes slopes which make the pulse inaudible in the uplink.
- the interrupt is sent during audio and the phone audio uplink is muted while the interrupt is made inaudible using a slow rising and falling interrupt signal
- Accessory load detection using selectable pull-up resistance and voltage, and voltage or current measurement (for example, Standard headphones > shorted mic pin, Headphones > 100 uA current consumption (which means 5k...10k load detection), SPDIF or TV-load > 75 ohms).
- Accessory measurement by detecting an external voltage from a self- powered accessory that may have different voltage levels to other accessories for example, simple carkit detection using an interrupt to identify a voltage that indicates the carkit type).
- video cable detection without load TV end connected having the voltage set to a higher level than TV signal by using, for instance, a bandgap regulator).
- different types may be detected by having different zener voltage zener diodes as identifiers. 8. Short circuit detection, or voltage measurement or load current measurement.
- FIG. 13 shows a flowchart which illustrates automatic detections steps which can be used to detect functionalities provided by a variety of different A/V plugs.
- Each box in the flowchart has a key against it; N 3 Y, G and B.
- the key indicates that the box is valid for particular types of terminals. So, for example, the N key indicates steps which could be performed for all existing Nokia A/V terminals (electronic device), the Y key indicates steps which could be performed for terminals that support ECI, the G key indicates steps which can be performed for all terminals that support a composite video output, and the B key indicates the steps which could be performed for all terminals that don't support ECI.
- the term HSMIC is an abbreviation for handset/headset microphone.

For example, the detection steps outlined in Figure 13 are also compatible with the following plug arrangements not shown in Figure 14.
- one or more embodiments and aspects of the present invention can- incorporate manual detection i.e. a user can be involved with the selection of the peripheral device type and the corresponding functionality. So, for example, upon detection of insertion, a user may be provided with a list of devices which are compatible with the electronic device in terms of the functionality that they provide.
