Abstract (en)

An interface circuit (200) for a headset (100) comprising one or more loudspeakers (SPL,SPR) and a microphone (M) makes use of a phantom ground approach for supplying a reference ground potential to the loudspeakers and microphone in the headset. The headset interface circuit (200) outputs for the microphone (M) within the headset (100) a stacked biasing voltage (VMBiasSt) that is substantially equal to the sum of the phantom ground potential and the normal biasing voltage (VMBias) required across the microphone (M). When the headset amplifier and interface circuit (200) is provided within a radiotelephone, for example, the radiotelephone's audio ground (VAG) can be used to provide the phantom ground voltage. <IMAGE>
