APPLICATION INFORMATION
I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The LM48557 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 drain). The LM48557
and the master can communicate at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 17 shows the I2C interface timing diagram.
Data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of SCL. The LM48557 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 18). Each data word, device address and data, transmitted over
the bus is 8 bits long and is always followed by an acknowledge pulse (Figure 19). The LM48557 device address
is 11011110.
I2C BUS FORMAT
The I2C bus format is shown in Figure 19. The START signal, the transition of SDA from HIGH to LOW while
SCL is HIGH, is generated, alerting 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. Set R/W =
0; the LM48557 is a WRITE-ONLY device and will not respond to R/W = 1. In other words, the LM48557 will not
issue an ACK when R/W = 1. Each address bit is latched in on the rising edge of the clock. Each address bit
must be stable while SCL 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 LM48557. If the LM48557 receives the
correct address, the device pulls the SDA line low, generating an 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. The LM48557 has two registers, Mode Control and Volume Control. The register address
and register data are combined into a single byte, the most significant bit (MSB) indicates which register is being
addressed. To address the Mode Control register, set the MSB of the data byte to 0, followed by seven bits of
register data. To address the Volume Control register, set the MSB of the data byte to 1, followed by seven bits
of register data. After the 8-bit register data word is sent, the LM48557 sends another ACK bit. The LM48557
supports single and multi-byte write operations, any number of data bytes can be transmitted to the device
between START and STOP conditions. Following the acknowledgement of the last register data word, the master
issues a STOP bit, allowing SDA to go high while SCL is high.

SINGLE AND MULTI-BYTE WRITE OPERATION
The LM48557 supports both single-byte and multi-byte write operations. A single-byte write operation begins with
the master device transmitting a START condition followed by the device address (Figure 20). After receiving the
correct device address, the LM48557 generates an ACK bit. The master device transmits the register data byte,
after which the LM48557 generates and ACK bit. Following the ACK, the master issues a STOP condition,
completing the singly-byte data transfer.

A multi-byte write operation is similar to a single-byte operation, the master device issues a START condition and
device address, and the LM48557 responds with an ACK (Figure 21). The master device then transmits the first
data byte. Following the LM48557’s ACK, the master device does not issue a STOP condition, transmitting a
second data byte instead. The LM48557 responds with an ACK bit. The master device can continue to issue
data bytes, and the LM48557 will respond with an ACK, until a STOP condition is issued. Once a STOP
condition is issued, the LM48557 ignores the I2C bus until the master issues the LM48557’s device address.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48557 is a fully differential ceramic speaker driver that utilizes Ti’s inverting charge pump technology to
deliver over 5.8VRMS to a 1µF ceramic speaker while operating from a single 4.2V supply. The low noise,
inverting charge pump generates a negative supply voltage (CPVSS) from the positive supply voltage (PVDD). The
LM48557 takes advantage of the increased head room created by the charge pump and the bridge-tied load
(BTL) architecture, delivering significantly more voltage than a single-ended, single-supply amplifier to the
speaker.

SNAS486D JULY 2009REVISED MAY 2013
VOLUME CONTROL
The LM48557 has a 64 step volume control, but only 36 steps are recommended for use. Use steps 1 through
32 and steps 61 through 64 to set the gain of the device. Accessing steps 33 through 60 results in the repeated
gain conditions shown in Table 7. Steps 33 through 60 are not tested and should not be used.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM48557 features a low-power shutdown mode that disables the device lowers the quiescent current to
0.01µA. Set bit B0 (SHDN) of the Mode Control register to 0 to disable the amplifier and charge pump. Set
SHDN to 1 for normal operation. Shutdown mode does not clear the I2C register. When re-enabled, the device
returns to its previous volume setting. To clear the I2C register, either remove power from the device, or toggle
RESET (see RESET section).
RESET
The LM48557 features an active low reset input. Driving RESET low clears the I2C register. Volume control is set
to 000000 (-90dB) and SHDN is set to 0, disabling the device. While RESET is low, the LM48557 ignores any
I2C data. After the device is reset, and RESET is driven high, the LM48557 remains in shutdown mode with the
volume set to -90dB. Re-enable the device by writing to the I2C register.
MUTE
The LM48557 features a mute mode. Set bit B1 (MUTE) of the Mode Control register to 1 to mute the device. In
mute mode, the gain is set to -90dB, equivalent to the volume step 1. Set MUTE = 0 to unmute the device. Once
unmuted, the device returns to its previous volume step.
TEST MODE
If enabled, TESTMODE does not affect device performance under normal operating conditions. Operating above
the recommended supply voltage range with TESTMODE enabled can result in damage to the device.
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 device as possible. Place a 1µF ceramic capacitor 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 where low maximum output power requirements.
Charge Pump Hold 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 where low maximum output power requirements.

Input Capacitor Selection
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 LM48557. The input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the
input resistors RIN. The -3dB point of the high pass filter is found using the equation 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 LM48557 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.
COMMON MODE SENSE
The LM48557 features a common mode sense pin (VCM, pin A3) that includes additional common mode
cancelling circuitry that improves the CMRR. When the volume control is set at a high gain step such as 48dB,
any mismatch in the input capacitors would degrade CMRR performance significantly. With the VCM pin
connected to the ground of the input source, it takes the input capacitor mismatches out of the equation and
therefore improves the CMRR. Another advantage with this feature is that only one input capacitor is needed in
the single-ended configuration as opposed to two well matched capacitors. See next section for details of
different configurations of the LM48857.
SINGLE-ENDED INPUT CONFIGURATION
Ground-Referenced Audio Source
The LM48557 input stage is compatible with ground-referenced input sources, such as CODECs with an
integrated headphone amplifier. Connect either input, IN+ or IN- to the CODEC output, and connect the unused
input and VCM to the CODEC output ground (Figure 22). An input coupling capacitor in series with the source
and device input is recommended to block the CODEC output offset voltage, minimizing click and pop and zipper
noise during volume transitions.
Figure 22. Single-Ended Input Configuration with a Ground-Referenced Source
NON-GROUND REFERENCED AUDIO SOURCE
Stereo-to-Mono Conversion
The LM48557 can convert a single-ended stereo signal to a mono BTL signal (Figure 23). Connect the left and
right CODEC outputs in parallel through two equal value resistors to either IN+ or IN-, and connect the unused
input and VCM to the CODEC ground. Select the value of the resistors based on the desired frequency response
created by the combination of the input resistor and the input coupling capacitor.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Minimize trace impedance of the power, ground and all output traces for optimum performance. Voltage loss due
to trace resistance between the LM48557 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.
