Product data sheet
1. General description
The NCX8193 is an advanced audio jack accessory detector and controller.
It supports 3-pole and 4-pole connectors and detects the insertion of plugs into jacks
using a fault detection technique. An internal microphone bias line switch allows a codec
or application processor to control the audio jack configuration. The device supports a
broad variety of after-market headphones.
2. Features and benefits

8. Functional description
The simplified schematic of the NCX8193 is shown in
Figure 1.
If no plug is inserted, J_DET is pulled-up to V
CC
via a 1.2 M resistor. Once J_DET is
pulled below 400 mV, the pull-up resistor is switched out and J_DET is connected to a
variable current source. The current source slowly increases its output current. If J_DET
remains lower than 300 mV, DET is set LOW to indicate that a plug has been inserted.
In case DET is set LOW, when EN is HIGH, J_DET is connected to the current source and
the integrated button press detection circuit on J_MIC is active. The button press
detection uses a trigger level of 780 mV. It enables a 1.8 V bias voltage in combination
with an R
bias
, matching the series resistance of the microphone, to detect button presses.
Not only call-end button press but also forward and reverse button press event levels can
be passed from J_MIC to MIC. The codec or processor decodes according to the
individual button pressed. Refer to
Figure 3
and
Figure 4
for details.
