Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is related to an electronic device having multiple speakers controlled by a single functional chip, and more particularly, to an electronic device having multiple speakers controlled by a single functional chip and capable of optimizing the performance of each speaker and providing individual protection for each speaker.


2. Description of the Prior Art

A speaker is an electronic device capable of converting electrical signals into audio signals and normally includes diaphragms and a control circuit made of electromagnets and coils. When the current of the speaker control signal corresponding to a specific frequency flows through the coils in the speaker, the coils vibrate in the same frequency of the current. The diaphragms attached to the coils also start to vibrate, thereby causing disturbance in surrounding air for producing sound. The speaker control signal may be provided by a smart audio amplifier chip which adopts protective algorithms to ensure that each physical quantity of the speaker during operation (such as temperature, voltage, current or excursion) is within its nominal range, thereby allowing the speaker to operate safely.


An electronic device may adopt multiple speakers to provide sufficient sound effects in certain applications. When a single functional chip is used to control multiple speakers, the protective algorithm can only be executed according to the total current and the total voltage of the multiple speakers. In other words, since the prior art functional chip is unable to acquire the physical quantity of each speaker during operation based on the individual current and the individual voltage of each speaker, it fails to provide individual protection for each speaker.


Therefore, in an electronic device having multiple speakers controlled by a single functional chip, there is a need to optimize the performance of each speaker and provide individual protection for each speaker.
