BD88200GUL,BD88210GUL,BD88215GUL,BD88220GUL
●Description
BD88xxxGUL is output coupling capacitorless headphone amplifier. This IC has a negative voltage generator of regulated
type built-in and generat es the direct regulat ed negative voltage from the s upply voltage. It is possible to drive hea dphones
in a ground standard with both voltage of the positive voltage (+2.4V) and the negative voltage (-2.4V). Therefore a
large-capacity output coupling capacitor becomes needless and can reduce a cost, a board area, and the height of the part.
In addition, there is not the signal decrement by the low range to happen by output coupling capacitor and output load
impedance and can output a rich low tone.
And, the function “Virtual ground” is embedded. Noise between IC and Headphone jack can be canceled by using “Virtual
ground” function.
●Features
1) 2.4V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
2) No Bulky DC-Blocking Capacitors Require d
3) No Degradation of Low-Frequency Response Due to Outpu t Capacitors

●Functional descriptions
The conventional headphone amplifi er composition is occupied to Fig.57 . In this composition, the signal is output by using
the middle point bias circuit based on the middle point bias. Therefore, the output coupling capacitor that removes the DC
voltage difference and does the AC coupling is necessary. This coupling capacitor and the impedance of the headphone
composes the high-pass filter. Therefore, the signal degradation in the low frequency region learns by experience. The
output coupling capacitor should be a large capacity, because the cutoff frequency of this high-pass filter becomes the
following formula (1).

* Cc is the coupling capacitor, and RL is the impedance of the headphone.
Moreover, POP noise by the middle point bias start-up is generated and the degradation of PSRR learns by experience.

The composition of the series of BD882xxGUL is occupied to Fig.58. In this composition, the signal is output by using a
negative voltage based on the ground lev el. Therefore, the amplifier output can be con nected directly with the headphone.
And, the output coupling capacitor becomes unnecessary. Additionally, the signal degradation in the low frequency region
with the coupling capacitor is not generated, and the deep bass is achieved.
Moreover, POP noise is controlled because of no middle point bias start-up. And, the degradation of PSRR doesn't occur by
being based on the ground.

[CHARGE PUMP / CHARGE PUMP CONTROL]
The negative power supply circuit is composed of the regulated charge-pump. This circuit outputs the regulated negative
voltage (PVSS) directly from power-supply voltage (PVDD). Therefore, it doesn't depend on the po wer-s upply voltage, and
a constant voltage is output (PVSS=-2.4V@Typ., refer to Fig.4). Moreover, there is not swinging of the power supply by the
output current of the headphone amplifier, and it doesn't influenc e the headphone amplifier characteristic.
Fig.60 Characteristics of load current regulation of PVSS (Reference data)
・Operating Frequency
The operating frequency of the negative power supply charge pump is designed for the temperature and the voltage
dependence may decrease. T he reference data (measurem ents) is occupied to Fig.60. Please note the interfere nce with
the frequency in the applicatio n board.
Fig.61 Temperature characteristic and Voltage characteristic of operating frequency (Refer ence data)
・The flying capacitor and the hold capacitor
The flying capacitor (CF) and the hold capacitor (CH) gre atly influence the characteristic of the charg e pump. Therefore,
please connect the capacitor with an excellent temperature char acteristic and voltage characteristic of 2.2µF as much as
possible near IC.

[HEADPHONE AMP]
The headphone amplifier is driven by the internal positive voltage (+2.4V) and negative voltage (SVSS, -2.4V) based on
ground (SGND). Therefore, the headphone can be connected without the output coupling capacitor. As a result, it brings the
improved low-frequenc y characteristic compared with the headphone of the conventional coupling capacitor type.
・Power control
When the SVSS voltage is -1.1V@Typ. or more, the headphone amplifier does not operate to protect from illegal operation.
And in addition, the overcurrent protection circuit is built in. The amplifier is shutdown when the overcurrent occurs
because of the output short-circuit etc., and IC is protected from being destro yed.

・Input coupling capacitor
Input DC level of BD882xxGUL is 0V (SGND). The input coupling capacitor is necessary for the connection with the
signal source device. The signal decrease happens in the low frequency because of composing the high-pass filter by
this input coupling capacitor and the input impedance of BD 882xxGUL.
The input impedance of BD882xxGUL is Rin (14kΩ@Typ.). The cutoff frequency of this high-pass filter becomes the
following formula. (In BD88200GUL, Rin becomes external resistance Ri. )

・State of terminal when power down
The state of the terminal changes by the power control of the headphone amplifier. When it is shutdown, the input
impedance of the input terminal becom es 7.1kΩ@Typ. (In BD88200GUL, become Ri + 7.1k Ω). The time constant can be
reduced when the input coup ling capacitor is charged.
The input voltage changes while charging up the input coupling capacitor. Therefore, do not operate the headphone

An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc.,
can break down devices, thus making impossible to ide ntify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If
any special mode exceeding the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consid eration should b e given to take physical
safety measures including the use of fuses, etc.
(2) Operating conditions
These conditions represent a range within which characteristics can be provided approximately as expected. The
electrical characteristics are guara nteed under the conditions of each parameter.
(3) Reverse connection of power supply connector
The reverse connection of power supply connector can break down ICs. Take protective measures against the
breakdown due to the revers e connection, such as mounting a n external diode bet ween the power supply and the IC ’s
power supply terminal.
(4) Power supply line
Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the GND lines. In this
regard, for the digital block power supply and the analog block power supply, even though these power supplies has
the same level of potential, separate the power supply pattern for the digital block from that for the analog block, thus
suppressing the diffraction of digital noises to the analog block po wer supply resultin g from impedance common to the
wiring patterns. For the GND line, give consideration to design the patterns in a similar manner.
Furthermore, for all power supply terminals to ICs, mount a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal.
At the same time, in order to use an electrolytic capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure the characteristics of the
capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus
determining the constant.
(5) GND voltage
Make setting of the potential of the GND terminal so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state.
Furthermore, check to be sure no terminals are at a potential lower than the GND voltage including an actual electric
transient.
(6) Short circuit between terminals and erroneous mountin g
In order to mount ICs on a s et PCB, pay thorough atte ntion to the direction and offset of the ICs. Erroneous mounting
can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between terminals or
between the terminal and the power supply or the GND terminal, the ICs can break down.
(7) Operation in strong electromagnetic field
Be noted that using ICs in the strong electromagnetic field can malfunction them.
(8) Inspection with set PCB
On the inspection with the set PCB, if a capacitor is connected to a low-impedance IC terminal, the IC can suffer stress.
Therefore, be sure to discharge from the set PCB by each process. Furthermore, in order to mount or dismount the set
PCB to/from the jig for the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then mount the set PCB to
the jig. After the completion of the inspection, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then dismount it from the jig. In
addition, for protection against static electricity, establish a ground for the assembly process and pay thorough attention
to the transportation and the storage of the set PCB.
(9) Input terminals
In terms of the construction of IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed in re lation to potential. The operati on of the
parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of
the input terminal. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input terminals, such as to apply to the input
terminals a voltage lower than the GND respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not
apply a voltage to the inp ut terminals when no power supp ly voltage is applied to the IC. In ad dition, even if the power
supply voltage is applied, apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the
guaranteed value of electrical characteristics.
(10) Ground wiring pattern
If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large-current GND
pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that
resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a l arge current will cause no fluctuations in voltages of
the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well.
(11) External capacitor
In order to use a ceramic capacitor as the external capacitor, determine the constant with consideration given to a
degradation in the nomi nal capacitance due to DC bias and changes in the capacitance due to temperature, etc.
(12) About the rush current
For ICs with more than one power supply, it is possible that rush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal
powering sequence and delays. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring,
width of GND wiring, and routing of wiring.
