Output Coupling Capacitors devices, such as cell phones, where board space is
Common-Mode Sense at a premium. The LM48822 features TI’s ground-
Ultra-High PSRR referenced architecture, which eliminates the large
DC blocking capacitor required by traditional
I2C Volume and Mode Control headphone amplifiers, saving board space and
High Output Impedance in Shutdown minimizing system cost.
Differential Inputs The LM48822 features common-mode sensing that
Advanced Click-and-Pop Suppression corrects for any differences between the amplifier
Low Supply Current ground and the potential at the headphone return
terminal, minimizing noise created by any ground
Minimum External Components mismatches.
Micro-Power Shutdown The LM48822 delivers 35mW/channel into a 16
Available in Space-Saving 16-Bump DSBGA load with <1% THD+N with a 3.6V supply. High
Package power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), of 110dB at
217Hz, allows the device to operate in noisy
APPLICATIONS environments without additional power supply
conditioning. Flexible power supply requirements
Mobile Phones allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V. The LM48822 has
PDAs a differential inputs for improved noise rejection. High
Notebook PCs output impedance in Shutdown mode, combined with
a charge pump-only mode allows the LM48822's

APPLICATION INFORMATION
I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The LM48822 is controlled through an I2C compatible serial interface that consists of a serial data line (SDA) and
a serial clock (SCL). The clock line is uni-directional. The data line is bi-directional (open collector). The LM48822
and the master can communicate at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 21 shows the I2C interface timing diagram.
Data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of SCL. The LM48822 is a transmit/receive slave-
only device, reliant upon the master to generate the SCL signal. Each transmission sequence is framed by a
START condition and a STOP condition Figure 22. Each data word, device address and data, transmitted over
the bus is 8 bits long as is always followed by an acknowledge pulse (Figure 23). The LM48822 device address
is 1100000.
I2C BUS FORMAT
The I2C bus format is shown in Figure 23. The START signal, the transition of SDA from HIGH to LOW while
SDA is HIGH, is generated, altering all devices on the bus that a device address is being written to the bus.
The 7-bit device address is written to the bus, most significant bit (MSB) first, followed by the R/W bit. R/W = 0
indicates the master is writing to the slave device, R/W = 1 indicates the master wants to read data from the
slave device. The LM48822 is a WRITE-ONLY device and will not respond the R/W = 1. The data is latched in
on the rising edge of the clock. Each address bit must be stable while SDA is HIGH. After the last address bit is
transmitted, the master device releases SDA, during which time, an acknowledge clock pulse is generated by the
slave device. If the LM48822 receives the correct address, the device pulls the SDA line low, generating and
acknowledge bit (ACK).
Once the master device registers the ACK bit, the 8-bit register data word is sent. Each data bit should be stable
while SCL is HIGH. After the 8-bit register data word is sent, the LM48822 sends another ACK bit. Following the
acknowledgement of the register data word, the master issues a STOP bit, allowing SDA to go high while SDA is
high.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48822 headphone amplifier feature TI’s ground referenced architecture that eliminates the large DC-
blocking capacitors required at the outputs of traditional headphone amplifiers. A low-noise inverting charge
pump creates a negative supply (CPVSS) from the positive supply voltage (VDD). The headphone amplifiers
operate from these bipolar supplies, with the amplifier outputs biased about GND, instead of a nominal DC
voltage (typically VDD/2), like traditional amplifiers. Because there is no DC component to the headphone output
signals, the large DC-blocking capacitors (typically 220μF) are not necessary, conserving board space and
system cost, while improving frequency response.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
The LM48822 features a differential input stage, which offers improved noise rejection compared to a single-
ended input amplifier. Because a differential input amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input
signals, any component common to both signals is cancelled. An additional benefit of the differential input
structure is the possible elimination of the DC input blocking capacitors. Since the DC component is common to
both inputs, and thus cancelled by the amplifier, the LM48822 can be used without input coupling capacitors
when configured with a differential input signal.
CHARGE PUMP ONLY MODE
In applications where the headphone jack is used as both an output and input port, signals such as a microphone
input can appear on the headphone amplifier output. Traditional charge pump headphone amplifiers can clamp
or distort the signals that appear on their output. Without the charge pump active, generating the negative
voltage supply, the internal protection diodes of the amplifier clamp the incoming signal, distorting the negative
half cycle, see Figure 24. The LM48822 charge pump only mode eliminates this problem. In charge pump only
mode, the amplifiers are disabled, while the charge pump remains active. The disabled amplifier outputs present
a high impedance (1M) load to the incoming signal. The charge pump maintains the negative rail, allowing the
incoming signal to swing between VDD and VSS without any interference from the device.
Set bit B4 (CP_ONLY) of the MODE CONTROL register to 1 for charge pump only mode. Setting CP_ONLY = 1
disables both the left and right channels, regardless of the status of the shutdown control bits. Set CP_ONLY = 0
for normal operation.
Figure 24. Back-Driving the LM48822 Outputs
COMMON MODE SENSE
The LM48822 features a ground (common mode) sensing feature. In noisy applications, or where the headphone
jack is used as a line out to other devices, noise pick up and ground imbalance can degrade audio quality. The
LM48822 COM input senses and corrects any noise at the headphone return, or any ground imbalance between
the headphone return and device ground, improving audio reproduction. Connect COM directly to the headphone
return terminal of the headphone jack Figure 25. No additional external components are required. Connect COM
to GND if the common-mode sense feature is not in use.

SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM48822 features three shutdown controls. Bits B6 (SDL) and B1 (SDR) of the MODE CONTROL register
control the left and right channels, respectively. Set the control bits to 1 to disable the corresponding channel.
When SDR = 1 and SDL = 0, the right channel is disabled, the right and left inputs are summed and output as a
mono signal on the OUTL. When SDL = 1 and SDR = 0, the left channel is disabled, while only the right input
signal is output on OUTR. Setting both SDL and SDR = 1 disables both channels, while the charge pump
remains active. Bit B6 (SHDN) of the VOLUME CONTROL register is the global shutdown control for the entire
device. Set SHDN = 1 to disable the entire device; both amplifiers and charge pump are disabled. Set SHDN = 0
for normal operation. SHDN = 1 overrides any other shutdown control bit.
MUTE FUNCTION
Set bits B2 (MUTE_LEFT) and B0 (MUTE_RIGHT) of the MODE CONTROL register to 1 to mute the respective
channels. Set MUTE_LEFT and MUTE_RIGHT to 0 for normal operation.

SD_BIAS FUNCTION
The LM48822 BIAS is controlled through the I2C interface. Set bit B5 (SD_BIAS) of the MODE CONTROL
register to 1 to enable the LM48822 BIAS. BIAS provides the voltage for both the amplifiers and the charge
pump. When enabled, VBIAS will track VDD for VDD < 3V. Once VDD exceeds 3V, VBIAS remains fixed at 3V, limiting
the output swing of the device the 6VP-P. Set SD_BIAS = 0 to disable BIAS. Disabling BIAS allows the amplifier
and charge pump to track VDD, increasing output swing; however, a slight degradation in PSSR will occur. Limit
VDD to 4.2V or less when BIAS is disabled.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Power Supply Bypassing/Filtering
Proper power supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass
capacitors as close to the supply pins as possible. Place a 1μF ceramic capacitors from VDD to GND. Additional
bulk capacitance may be added as required.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Use low ESR ceramic capacitors (less than 100m) for optimum performance.
Charge Pump Flying Capacitor (C1)
The flying capacitor (C1) affects the load regulation and output impedance of the charge pump. A C1 value that
is too low results in a loss of current drive, leading to a loss of amplifier headroom. A higher valued C1 improves
load regulation and lowers charge pump output impedance to an extent. Above 2.2μF, the RDS(ON) of the charge
pump switches and the ESR of C1 and C2 dominate the output impedance. A lower value capacitor can be used
in systems with low maximum output power requirements.
Charge Pump Flying Capacitor (C2)
The value and ESR of the hold capacitor (C2) directly affects the ripple on CPVSS. Increasing the value of C2
reduces output ripple. Decreasing the ESR of C2 reduces both output ripple and charge pump output impedance.
A lower value capacitor can be used in systems with low maximum output power requirements.
Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitors may be required for some applications, or when the audio source is single-ended. Input
capacitors block the DC component of the audio signal, eliminating any conflict between the DC component of
the audio source and the bias voltage of the LM48822. The input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the
input resistors RIN. The -3dB point of the high pass filter is found using Equation 1 below.
f = 1 / 2πRINCIN (Hz) (1)
where:
the value of RIN is given in the Electrical Characteristics Table.
High pass filtering the audio signal helps protect the speakers. When the LM48822 is using a single-ended
source, power supply noise on the ground is seen as an input signal. Setting the high-pass filter point above the
power supply noise frequencies, 217Hz in a GSM phone, for example, filters out the noise such that it is not
amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for impedance
matching and improved CMRR and PSRR.
SINGLE-ENDED AUDIO AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION
The LM48822 is compatible with single-ended sources. Figure 26 shows the typical single-ended applications
circuit.

PCB LAYOUT CONFIGURATION
Minimize trace impedance of the power, ground and all output traces for optimum performance. Voltage loss due
to trace resistance between the LM48822 and the load results in decreased output power and efficiency. Trace
resistance between the power supply and ground has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increased
ripple and reduced peak output power. Use wide traces for power supply inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize
losses due to trace resistance, as well as route heat away from the device. Proper grounding improves audio
performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels and prevents switching noise from interfering with the audio
signal. Use of power and ground planes is recommended.
Place all digital components and route digital signal traces as far as possible from analog components and
traces. Do not run digital and analog traces in parallel on the same PCB layer. If digital and analog signal lines
must cross either over or under each other, ensure that they cross in a perpendicular fashion.
