General Description
The LM48822 is a single supply, ground-referenced stereo
headphone amplifier designed for portable devices, such as
cell phones, where board space is at a premium. The
LM48822 features National’s ground-referenced architecture,
which eliminates the large DC blocking capacitor required by
traditional headphone amplifiers, saving board space and
minimizing system cost.
The LM48822 features common-mode sensing that corrects
for any differences between the amplifier ground and the po-
tential at the headphone return terminal, minimizing noise
created by any ground mismatches.
The LM48822 delivers 35mW/channel into a 16 load with
<1% THD+N with a 3.6V supply. High power supply rejection
ratio (PSRR), of 110dB at 217Hz, allows the device to operate
in noisy environments without additional power supply condi-
tioning. Flexible power supply requirements allow operation
from 2.4V to 5.5V. The LM48822 has a differential inputs for
improved noise rejection. High output impedance in Shut-
down mode, combined with a charge pump-only mode allows
the LM48822's outputs to be driven by an external source
without degrading the source signal. Additionally, the
LM48822 features a 64-step I2C volume control and mute
function. The low power Shutdown mode reduces supply cur-
rent consumption to 0.06µA.
Superior click and pop suppression eliminates audible tran-
sients on power-up/down and during shutdown. The
LM48822 is available in an ultra-small 16-bump micro SMD
package (2mmx2mm).

LM48822
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 2 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
3. Each data word, device address and data, transmitted over
the bus is 8 bits long as is always followed by an acknowledge
pulse (Figure 4). The LM48822 device address is 1100000.
I2C BUS FORMAT
The I2C bus format is shown in Figure 4. 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 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. 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 gen-
erated 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 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
LM48822 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 SDA is high.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48822 headphone amplifier feature National’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 neg-
ative supply (CPVSS) from the positive supply voltage (VDD).
The headphone amplifiers operate from these bipolar sup-
plies, with the amplifier outputs biased about GND, instead of
a nominal DC voltage (typically VDD/2), like traditional ampli-
fiers. 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 sys-
tem 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 5. The LM48822 charge
pump only mode eliminates this problem. In charge pump only
mode, the amplifiers are disabled, while the charge pump re-
mains 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 opera-
tion.

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 in-
put 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 6. No additional external components are re-
quired. Connect COM to GND if the common-mode sense
feature is not in use.

LM48822
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 re-
mains 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 opera-
tion. 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 chan-
nels. 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 per-
formance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass capaci-
tors as close to the supply pins as possible. Place a 1μF
ceramic capacitors from VDD to GND. Additional bulk capac-
itance may be added as required.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Use low ESR ceramic capacitors (less than 100m) 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 Flying 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 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 Characteris-
tics 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 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.
SINGLE-ENDED AUDIO AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION
The LM48822 is compatible with single-ended sources. Fig-
ure 7 shows the typical single-ended applications circuit.

LM48822
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 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.
