Mono, Bridge-Tied Load, Ceramic Speaker Driver with I2C

Volume Control and Reset

General Description

The LM48823 is a single supply, mono, ceramic speaker driv-

er with an integrated charge-pump, designed for portable

devices, such as cell phones, where board space is at a pre-

mium. The LM48823 charge pump allows the device to deliver

5.4VRMS from a single 4.2V supply.

The LM48823 features high power supply rejection ratio

(PSRR), 93dB at 217Hz, allowing the device to operate in

noisy environments without additional power supply condi-

tioning. Flexible power supply requirements allow operation

from 2.0V to 4.5V. The LM48823 features an active low reset

input that reverts the device to its default state. Additionally,

the LM48823 features a 32-step I2C volume control. The low

power Shutdown mode reduces supply current consumption

to 0.01µA.

The LM48823’s superior click and pop suppression elimi-

nates audible transients on power-up/down and during shut-

down. The LM48823 is available in an ultra-small 16-bump

micro SMD package (2mmx2mm).

Application Information

I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE

The LM48823 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 LM48823 and the master can

communicate at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 2 shows the

I2C interface timing diagram. Data on the SDA line must be

stable during the HIGH period of SCL. The LM48823 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

3). Each data word, device address and data, transmitted

over the bus is 8 bits long and is always followed by an ac-

knowledge pulse (Figure 4). The LM48823 device address is

1110110.

I2C BUS FORMAT

The I2C bus format is shown in Figure 4. 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 ad-

dress 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. Set R/W =

0; the LM48823 is a WRITE-ONLY device and will not re-

spond to the R/W = 1. The data 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 de-

vice releases SDA, during which time, an acknowledge clock

pulse is generated by the slave device. If the LM48823 re-

ceives 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 reg-

ister data word is sent. Each data bit should be stable while

SCL is HIGH. After the 8-bit register data word is sent, the

LM48823 sends another ACK bit. Following the acknowl-

edgement of the register data word, the master issues a

STOP bit, allowing SDA to go high while SCL is high.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION

The LM48823 is a ceramic speaker driver that utilizes National’s inverting charge pump technology to deliver over 15VP-P to a

2.2µF ceramic speaker while operating from a single 4.2V supply. The LM48823 features a unique input stage that converts two

single-ended audio signals into a mono BTL output. This stereo to mono conversion is useful in applications where a stereo audio

source is driving a single ceramic speaker, such as a ringer on a cellular phone. Connect INA and INB as shown in Figure 5 for

the stereo-to-mono conversion. When the LM48823 is used with a single-ended mono audio source, connect both INA and INB to

the audio source as shown in Figure 6.

LM48823

SHUTDOWN FUNCTION

The LM48823 features a low-power shutdown mode that dis-

ables the device, lowering the quiescent current to 0.01µA.

Set bits B1 (ENABLE_A) and B2 (ENABLE_B) to 0 to disable

the amplifiers and charge pump. Set both ENABLE_A and

ENABLE_B 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 RE-

SET section).

RESET

The LM48823 features an active low reset input. Driving RE-

SET low clears the I2C register. Volume control is set to 00000

(-70dB) and both ENABLE_A and ENABLE_B are set to 0,

disabling the device. While RESET is low, the LM48823 ig-

nores any I2C data. After the device is reset, and RESET is

driven high, the LM48823 remains in shutdown mode with the

volume set to -70dB. Re-enable the device by writing to the

I2C register.

PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

Power Supply Bypassing/Filtering

Proper power supply bypassing is critical for low noise per-

formance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass capaci-

tors as close to the device as possible. Place a 1µF ceramic

capacitor from VDD to GND. Additional bulk capacitance may

be added as required.

Bypass Capacitor Selection

The BYPASS capacitor, CBYPASS, improves PSRR, noise re-

jection and output offset. For best results, use a capacitor of

identical value to the input coupling capacitors

Charge Pump Capacitor Selection

Use low ESR ceramic capacitors (less than 100mΩ) for opti-

mum performance.

Charge Pump Flying Capacitor (C1)

The flying capacitor (C1) affects the load regulation and out-

put 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 Hold Capacitor (C2)

The value and ESR of the hold capacitor (C2) directly affects

the ripple on CPVSS. Increasing the value of C2 reduces out-

put ripple. Decreasing the ESR of C2 reduces both output

ripple and charge pump output impedance. A lower value ca-

pacitor can be used in systems with 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 LM48823. The input

capacitors create a high-pass filter with the input resistors

RIN. The -3dB point of the high pass filter is found using Equa-

tion (1) below.

f = 1 / 2πRINCIN (Hz) (1)

Where the value of RIN is given in the Electrical Characteris-

tics Table.

High pass filtering the audio signal helps protect the speakers.

When the LM48823 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 fre-

quencies, 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 recommend-

ed for impedance matching and improved CMRR and PSRR.

LM48823

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 LM48823 and the load results in de-

creased output power and efficiency. Trace resistance be-

tween 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 recom-

mended.

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 lay-

er. If digital and analog signal lines must cross either over or

under each other, ensure that they cross in a perpendicular

fashion.
