Abstract

A speaker module includes a DC-DC converter device including a switching circuit device and a choke coil connected to the switching circuit device and a speaker device that converts an electric signal generated using output voltage from the DC-DC converter device into sound. A magnetic substrate which includes the choke coil and on which the switching circuit device is mounted is disposed between the switching circuit device and the speaker device.

Claims (46)

1. A speaker module comprising:

a DC-DC converter device including a switching circuit device and a choke coil connected to the switching circuit device; and

a speaker device that converts an electric signal generated using output voltage from the DC-DC converter device into sound; wherein

a magnetic substrate which includes the choke coil and on which the switching circuit device is mounted is disposed between the switching circuit device and the speaker device.

2. The speaker module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an amplifier circuit device that performs amplification using the output voltage from the DC-DC converter device to generate the electric signal; wherein

the amplifier circuit device is mounted on a mounting surface of the magnetic substrate on which the switching circuit device is mounted.

3. The speaker module according to claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic substrate includes a via that passes through at least a portion of the magnetic substrate; and

the speaker device converts the electric signal input through the via.

4. The speaker module according to claim 1 , wherein

the speaker device is mounted on one main surface of the magnetic substrate; and

the switching circuit device is mounted on another main surface of the magnetic substrate.

5. The speaker module according to claim 1 , further comprising a flexible substrate including the speaker device mounted on one main surface and the magnetic substrate mounted on another main surface.

6. The speaker module according to claim 5 , wherein

the flexible substrate includes a first portion on which the speaker device is mounted and a second portion on which the magnetic substrate is mounted; and

the second portion is disposed on a side of the speaker device in a state in which the second portion is bent with respect to the first portion.

7. The speaker module according to claim 1 , further comprising a printed circuit board including the speaker device mounted on one main surface and the magnetic substrate mounted on another main surface.

8. The speaker module according to claim 1 , wherein

the speaker device includes a voice coil that vibrates upon flowing of the electric signal; and

the choke coil and the voice coil are disposed so that a winding axis of the choke coil and a winding axis of the voice coil have an arbitrary positional relationship that is different from parallelism.

9. The speaker module according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic substrate is a multilayer substrate including a plurality of magnetic layers that are laminated.

10. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a speaker module; wherein

the speaker module includes:

a DC-DC converter device including a switching circuit device and a choke coil connected to the switching circuit device; and

a speaker device that converts an electric signal generated using output voltage from the DC-DC converter device into sound; wherein

a magnetic substrate which includes the choke coil and on which the switching circuit device is mounted is disposed between the switching circuit device and the speaker device.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising:

an amplifier circuit device that performs amplification using the output voltage from the DC-DC converter device to generate the electric signal; wherein

the amplifier circuit device is mounted on a mounting surface of the magnetic substrate on which the switching circuit device is mounted.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

the magnetic substrate includes a via that passes through at least a portion of the magnetic substrate; and

the speaker device converts the electric signal input through the via.

13. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

the speaker device is mounted on one main surface of the magnetic substrate; and

the switching circuit device is mounted on another main surface of the magnetic substrate.

14. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising a flexible substrate including the speaker device mounted on one main surface and the magnetic substrate mounted on another main surface.

15. The electronic apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein

the flexible substrate includes a first portion on which the speaker device is mounted and a second portion on which the magnetic substrate is mounted; and

the second portion is disposed on a side of the speaker device in a state in which the second portion is bent with respect to the first portion.

16. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising a printed circuit board including the speaker device mounted on one main surface and the magnetic substrate mounted on another main surface.

17. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

the speaker device includes a voice coil that vibrates upon flowing of the electric signal; and

the choke coil and the voice coil are disposed so that a winding axis of the choke coil and a winding axis of the voice coil have arbitrary positional relationship different from parallelism.

18. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the magnetic substrate is a multi-layer substrate including a plurality of magnetic layers that are laminated.
