Abstract

An apparatus for detecting a type of an audio interface is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: an audio interface, comprising a pin 3 and a pin 4, in which one of the pin 3 and the pin 4 is configured as a MIC pin of the audio interface, and the other one is configured as a ground pin; a first level comparison module configured to output a signal Sg1, when a level V3 of the pin 3 is greater than a sum of a level V4 of the pin 4 and a predetermined threshold Vg1, otherwise to output a signal Sg1′; a second level comparison module configured to output a signal Sg2, when the level V4 of the pin 4 is greater than a sum of the level V3 of the pin 3 and a predetermined threshold Vg2, otherwise to output a signal Sg2′.
