A circuit, which is enabling the superpositioning of different audio
signals such as voice, music or ringer signals in a audio output device
is achieved. The individual superpositioning can be activated and
performed by a combination of resistors and switches without the need of
an additional mixing amplifier as in prior art. One common output stage
is used for all the signals activated and superpositioned. The adjustment
of the amplitude of the output signal, which can be used for the volume
adjustment of a loudspeaker, is provided by a precise amplitude setting
via the gain control stages of an inverting voltage amplifier through a
current-voltage conversion. Said current-voltage conversion is performed
by a string of resistors activated by a string of correspondent switches.
This circuit reduces the power consumption, the chip area required and
the offset and improves the power supply rejection rate (PSSR).
