The AZV5001 has two detect inputs that together determine when a headset has been inserted into the equipment’s audio jack. The presence of a left audio signal drives the internal comparator output low, which when logically OR’ed with a ground connection from the jack will result in a low output from the IC, indicating the headset is properly connected. Internal pull up resistors on both detect inputs ensure that connection is not indicated when either signal is absent. When a headphone is not detected, an on-chip N-channel MOSFET is enabled, which can be used to mute the microphone input to the equipment’s audio codec.
A miniature 6-pin 1.2×1.0x0.4mm DFN1210H4-6 package helps the AZV5001 reduce board space. A low supply current, typically 7.5μA when operating from a 1.8V supply, reduces system power consumption while low voltage operation, down to 1.6V, is also supported.
The AZV5001 is priced at $0.13 each in 1,000 unit quantities.
