Application Note
TRANSITIONING FROM THE CS8405A TO THE CS8406
by Sean Davis
1. Introduction
The CS8406 was designed as a pin and function compatible update for the CS8405A to add
192 kHz sample rate capability and offer over 1/3 less total power consumption than the
CS8405A. This document outlines the considerations that need to be accounted for when making the transition. Please refer to the latest revision of each part’s datasheet for a detailed
description of part operation.
2. Power Supply
The VD+ supply of the CS8405A operates only at 5.0 V ±10%, while the VD supply of the
CS8406 operates at either 3.3 V or 5.0 V ±5%. However, when the CS8406 is operated with
VD = 5.0 V, certain conditions apply:
V
In power down mode, it is recommended that all inputs be driven low to minimize current
(Min) for the CS8406 = 2.75 V. VIH (Min) for the CS8405A = 2.0 V.
IH
consumption.
3. Software Mode
Shown in Table 2 on page 2 is a list of pin numbers and their corresponding pin names for both
parts when operated in Software mode. The register settings for the CS8405A are compatible
with the CS8406.
4. Hardware Mode
Shown in Table 3 on page 3 is a list of pin numbers and their corresponding pin names for both
parts when operated in Hardware mode.
5. CS8406 Test Pins
The CS8406 has several pins labeled as TEST. These pins are unused inputs in either Software
or Hardware mode. It is recommended that these pins be tied to a supply (VL or GND) to minimize leakage current.
When transitioning from the CS8405A to the CS8406, some of the TEST pins on the CS8406
may be left floating due to corresponding pins on the CS8405A being labeled as no connects.
The CS8406 will operate the same if these pins are left floating, however current consumption
from VL will increase by 25 μA per pin that is left floating. As the CS8406 consumes much less
current than the CS8405A, this should not be a concern to the user.

6. Output Resistance
The typical output resistance of the transmitter pins changed from the CS8405A to the CS8406.
The value of the external series resistor placed on the transmitter pins should be modified appropriately to account for this change. See the latest CS8406 datasheet for details on selecting the
value of the external resistor.
