Introduction

With the rapid development of smart home, smart security, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the intercom has gradually transformed from a traditional communication tool into a smart device integrating multiple functions such as video calls, real-time voice recognition, and access control. To meet users' various needs in terms of audio quality, signal stability, and device battery life, the application of OPA (operational amplifier) and LDO (low dropout linear regulator) chips in smart intercoms has become particularly crucial.

Industry Status and Background

The rapid growth of the smart intercom market has led to an increasing richness of device functions, expanding from simple voice communication to multiple functions such as video intercom, voice recognition, and smart home control. As users' requirements for voice clarity, video quality, device stability, and battery life increase, choosing more suitable audio processing chips (operational amplifier OPA) and power management chips (low dropout linear regulator LDO) has become one of the keys in smart intercom design. The OPA chip is mainly used for processing and amplifying audio signals to ensure the clarity and quality of voice calls and enhance communication security. The LDO chip is responsible for providing a stable and efficient power supply for the device, especially maintaining high efficiency and long battery life under high load conditions.

Corebai Solution: The Pioneer of Smart Communication Chips

Corebai has launched high-performance OPA and LDO chips (CBM2904 general-purpose operational amplifier and CBM1117 LDO), providing effective audio and signal processing capabilities and efficient power management for smart intercoms, and achieving a new level in audio quality and power management.

CBM2904 General-purpose Operational Amplifier: The Signal Powerhouse

1. High DC Voltage Gain: With a DC voltage gain as high as 100dB, it can amplify weak signals. For example, it can accurately extract and enhance voice signals in long-distance transmission or noisy environments.

2. Wide Power Supply Range: It supports a wide input power supply voltage range from 3V to 32V (or ±1.5V to ±16V), suitable for various power supply conditions.

3. Low Power Consumption: The power supply current is within 1.5mA, suitable for battery-powered devices, extending the single-charge usage time of the device.

Application Scenarios:

l Home Smart Security: In the home security scenario, smart intercoms are often used for applications such as access control and visitor reception. The OPA chip can significantly reduce noise interference in the circuit and improve the call quality between users and visitors.

l High-frequency Voice Recognition Applications: With the introduction of voice recognition technology, the OPA chip helps the device accurately capture voice commands, enabling functions such as voice-controlled devices and smart homes, enhancing the user experience.

CBM1117 LDO: The Power Guardian

1. High Output Current: It provides an output current as high as 0.8A and can drive complex functional modules that require a large current.

2. Wide Input Voltage Range: It supports a wide input voltage range from 2.6V to 15V, adapting to various power supply conditions.

3. Multiple Protection Mechanisms: Thermal Overload Protection and Current Limiting Function: When the chip temperature reaches approximately 150°C, the thermal shutdown circuit will disable the output to protect the device from overheating damage. The built-in current limiting circuit can limit the current when the output or adjustment terminal is short-circuited to prevent device damage.

4. Output Voltage Provision:

l Fixed Output Voltage: 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V.

l Adjustable Output Voltage: The voltage range is 1.2V - 13.8V.

Application Scenarios:

Smart Home: In the long-term operation of home smart devices and high-temperature environments in summer, it prevents the intercom from overheating and damage, maintains device stability, and ensures continuous and reliable communication in smart security monitoring scenarios.

Construction Sites and Industrial Scenarios: Smart intercoms are often used for real-time communication and safety management in construction sites and industrial production lines. The efficient energy management of the LDO chip can ensure that the device remains stable during long-term and high-frequency use, reducing the risk of interruption and shutdown.

Conclusion

Corebai' smart intercom solution meets the market's demand for high-quality audio and long battery life. Through the CBM2904 OPA chip, clear voice calls and accurate voice recognition functions can be achieved; while the CBM1117 LDO chip provides stable and efficient power management for the device, ensuring its reliability during long-term operation. As the functions of smart intercoms continue to enrich and technology progresses, OPA and LDO chips will continue to drive smart intercoms towards higher integration, longer battery life, and greater intelligence in the future, meeting the application needs of different industry scenarios.
