EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The SSM2804 evaluation board provides all of the support
circuitry required to operate the SSM2804 amplifier, including
a computer interface for the I
bench characterization setup used to evaluate the audio performance of the SSM2804. See the Evaluation Board Software
Quick Start Procedures section to get started.

POWER SUPPLIES
The SSM2804 requires two external dc power supplies: PVDD
and AVDD. PVDD voltages between 2.7 V and 5.5 V and
AVDD supply voltages between 2.5 and 3.6 V are accepted.
Note that PVDD supply currents may exceed 1 A, depending on
supply voltage and load impedance.
H3 and H4, 2-pin 0.100" male headers, are provided to connect
external supplies to the PVDD and AVDD supply rails.
Alternatively, a 5 V USB power supply can be used to power the
chip, although the USB 2.0 specification only allows a total
current draw of up to 500 mA. JP8 is used to connect USB
power to the PVDD rail, and JP9 is used to connect USB power
to the AVDD rail. These jumpers are shown in Figure 2.
Be sure to remove JP8 when using an external power supply,
because this shorts the USB voltage to the external supply.
Conversely, be sure to remove the external supply from H4
when using USB power. Be cautious of supplying any significant
amount of power when using the USB port.
For single-ended audio inputs, each channel can be used as a
stereo input. In this configuration, the signals on the INA1
and INA2 pins are called INAL and INAR, respectively. These
signals are referred to a source ground, which should be connected to the top or bottom GND pin of the header.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
Each channel of the amplifier output is available at two 2-pin
0.100" headers: H8 and H12 for the left channel, and H7 and
H11 for the right channel. The speakers are connected in
bridge-tied load (BTL) configuration, and the output pins are
labeled with their polarity; for example, OUT L+ indicates the
left channel noninverting terminal.
In the standard filterless configuration, the two headers on
each channel are connected with 0 Ω links on the pads marked
B1 to B4. In this case, the two headers on each channel are tied
together and can be used interchangeably as attachment points
for the load and an audio analyzer. The EMI filtering is not
populated on the SSM2804 evaluation board to allow proper
measurement of key parameters such as SNR and THD.
A ferrite bead-based EMI filter can be implemented using the
B1 to B4 and C43 to C50 footprints on the secondary side. If
this filtering is used, only H7 and H8 connect at the proper
location with respect to the filter components—the load must
be connected to these headers. Measurements of the unfiltered
waveform can be taken at H11 and H12.
Finally, a ground-referred Class-G headphone output is available on J2 and H13. J2 is an ordinary 0.125" headphone jack, and
H13 is a 4-pin 0.100" header connected to the same signals. The
left and right channels are connected to the center pins; the
outer pins connect to the headphone common.
Figure 2. Connecting USB Power Supply to AVDD and PVDD
INPUT SIGNALS
On the left side of the PCB are three 4-pin headers: JP5, JP6, and
JP7. These are used to connect the input audio signals to the
amplifier. If the input audio signal is differential, use the two
center pins (for example, INA1 and INA2) for the inverting and
noninverting signals. For clarity, in this configuration, the two
signals are called INA+ and INA− to emphasize their differential
nature. Connect either the top or the bottom pin to the
source/signal ground.

SHUTDOWN AND MODE JUMPERS
A 2-pin jumper, JP10, is used to enable and disable the SSM2804
SD
amplifier. Inserting a jumper across JP10 pulls the
SPKVDD supply rail, activating the amplifier. Removing the
jumper from JP8 shuts down both channels of the SSM2804 so that
minimal current (about 20 nA) is drawn from the power supply.
pin to the
RECEIVER SWITCH
The SSM2804 includes an integrated receiver bypass switch that
can be configured to pass an audio signal directly from the
input to the output.
The switch inputs, RCV+ and RCV−, are connected to the 2-pin
header, H5. In addition, the receiver inputs can be connected to
the INA1 and INA2 input headers by shorting across H14 and
H15 with two jumpers. To protect the switch in the case of a
short circuit or other fault condition,12 Ω series resistors (R19
and R20) are included in the signal path
The switch outputs, EP+ and EP−, are connected to the 2-pin
header, H6. Alternatively, the outputs can be tied directly to the

EEPROM
The USBi has an EEPROM on the I2C bus at Address 0x51, which
it uses to indicate its vendor ID and product ID to the PC, as
well as to boot its internal program. The EEPROM is an
important system element that identifies the board to the host
PC and stores the firmware for the Cypress USB interface. The
EEPROM is programmed during manufacturing via the H1
connector.
Avoid having any other EEPROMs in your system design at
this address. This EEPROM is not write-protected; therefore,
an attempt to write to Address 0x51 overwrites the USBi’s
on-board EEPROM, and the USBi will cease to function. The
USBi cannot be reprogrammed without returning it to Analog
Devices, Inc.

The SSM2804 evaluation board is capable of taking 5 V power
from the USB port after the Cypress USB microcontroller has
finished its boot-up process. The USB_PWR_ON signal, which
can be set in the SSM2804 software, appears on one pin of the
Cypress microcontroller. This signal controls Q1 and Q2, which
create a connection between USB power and the supply rail. D5,
a blue LED, lights up when this supply is activated. Note that
the current available from the USB bus is limited; therefore, the
amplifier power stage may not drive low impedance loads
properly.

SSM2804 GUI FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS
The SSM2804 control software is logically split into several
different functional blocks. Each functional block is split into
individual subsections. For details of the individual register
functions, refer to the SSM2804 data sheet.
Note that when the power supply of the SSM2804 is interrupted,
you must reset the SSM2804 software to synchronize with the
device. Simply click the red RESET button at the bottom-right
corner of the software window (see Figure 4).
INPUT CONTROL
This section controls the gain and configuration of the three
input channels.
Channel A, Channel B, and Channel C Input Volume
(Register 0x01, Register 0x02, Register 0x03)
These registers are used to adjust the gain for each input stage.
If PGA mode is selected using the appropriate bit in Register R0
(0x00), this control offers gain adjustments with 1 dB resolution
between −12 dB and +18 dB. If boost mode is selected, the gain
is restricted to three preset values.
CLASS-D CONTROL
This section contains the channel mixing, gain, and EMI
control settings for the Class-D speaker driver.
Figure 5. Input Control Section of SSM2804 GUI
Input Channel Mode Control (Register 0x00)
This allows independent selection of the various operating
modes for each of the three input channels. The configuration
can be set to either Mono (Differential) or Stereo (SE), and
either the fixed-impedance Boost mode or the adjustable
impedance PGA mode can be chosen.
This register also controls the zero-cross detector, which forces
gain changes to occur at a zero-crossing event to reduce the
audible pop caused by a discontinuity in the audio signal.
These registers provide independent 32-level volume controls
for each channel. The gain reduction ranges from 0 dB to
−75 dB, plus a mute setting.
Class-D Enable and Mixer (Register 0x08)
Input A, Input B, and Input C can be individually mixed into
the two channels of the Class-D output by setting the
appropriate bits in Register 0x08.
Class D Boost (Register 0x0C) and EMI Control
(Register 0x0E)
An additional 6 dB boost is available on each Class-D output
channel, if needed. The left and right channel boost can be
enabled by selecting the RCD BOOST and LCD BOOST
options.
In addition, four levels of edge rate control for the Class-D
output are available, allowing for improved electromagnetic
interference (EMI) reduction. Slow, Slow −, and Slow −−
represent progressively slower transitions in the output stage,
which correspond to decreased EMI emissions.

SPEAKER PROTECTION CONTROL
This section controls the automatic level control (ALC) of the
SSM2804.
HEADPHONE CONTROL
This section controls the auto level control (ALC) of the
SSM2804.
Figure 7. Output Control Section of SSM2804 GUI
ALC Control 1 (Register 0x0A)
This section allows you to adjust the attack and recovery time
for the ALC. For details, see the SSM2804 data sheet.
ALC Control 2 (Register 0x0B)
This section allows you to enable ALC operation, to set the
compressor operation mode (light to heavy compression and
limiting), to set the limiter level, and to set the limiter mode.
There are two limiter modes: fixed power and supply tracking.
Fixed power mode sets the output limiter level to a fixed value,
independent of the power supply rail. Supply tracking mode
sets the limiter as a percentage of SPKVDD.
Note that, if you intend to change the gain setting register, R0 or
R1, you must toggle the ALC Enable check box to allow the
new gain settings to take effect.
ALC Control 3 (Register 0x0C)
This section controls the soft clip and soft start modes, the
noise gate enable, and the noise gate level.

Figure 8. Headphone Control Section of SSM2804 GUI
These registers provide independent 32-level volume controls
for each channel. The gain reduction ranges from 0 dB to
−75 dB, plus a mute setting.
Headphone Mixer (Register 0x08)
Input A, Input B, and Input C can be individually mixed into the
headphone output by setting the appropriate bits in Register 0x08.
Headphone Turn-on Time and Timeout (Register 0x08)
The headphone turn-on time controls the duration of the soft
turn-on when the headphone output is enabled. This is related
to the amplitude of the pop-click discontinuity when the
headphone output is enabled.

USB—I2C INTERFACE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-ADUSB2EBZ, also known as the USBi, is a standalone communications interface adapter and programmer used
in the evaluation of SigmaDSP® systems. It translates USB
control commands from SigmaStudio to the I
communications protocols.
To simplify bench evaluation, an interface based on the USBi
adapter is included on the SSM2804 evaluation board. This
eliminates the need for a separate interface board and 10-pin
ribbon cable; only a USB mini-B cable is required. This
interface is shown in Figure 13.
2
C and SPI
USB CONNECTOR
The connection between the host PC and the Cypress USB
interface device is via a standard USB cable that carries D+ and
D− signals for data communications, a 5 V power supply, and
ground. The D+ and D− lines are a 1-wire communication
interface carried by half-duplex differential signals on a twisted
pair. The clock is embedded in the data using the nonreturn-tozero inverted (NRZI) line code. These signal lines connect
directly to pins on the Cypress USB interface.
A surface-mounted USB miniature Type B jack was selected
for its low profile and increasing popularity in consumer
electronics.
POWER REGULATOR
The Cypress USB interface I/O ports are capable of operating
in both 1.8 V and 3.3 V modes, depending on the target device
in the system. Two regulators, U1 for 5 V to 3.3 V regulation
and U2 for 5 V to 1.8 V regulation, run simultaneously when
the board is powered. A jumper (JP4) is provided to easily
switch the IOVDD supply between the two regulators. D1
provides visual feedback that the board is being supplied with
5 V power from the PC USB port.
The position of Jumper JP4 should not be changed when the
board is connected to the USB bus.

Figure 13. USB to I
2
C Microcontroller and USB Interface
The on-board regulators enable both 1.8 V and 3.3 V IOVDD
operation, allowing for increased testing flexibility.
The USBi interface can also control SigmaDSP systems in
real time via SigmaStudio, and it is capable of programming
an EEPROM in self-boot systems. It is an ideal solution for
in-circuit programming and tuning of prototype systems.
The USBi only supports USB Version 2.0 interfaces; it does not
work with PCs that only support USB Version 1.0 and
USB Version 1.1.
CYPRESS USB INTERFACE
The Cypress USB interface is the core of the system, including
all of the necessary functionality to convert USB commands
into corresponding I
2
C or SPI read/write transfers, and acts as a
FIFO to route data between the host PC and the target device.
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
The Cypress USB interface is its own clock master, and the board
includes a crystal oscillator circuit with a 24 MHz crystal resonator
to provide stability to the oscillator circuit. The crystal resonator is driven by the XTALOUT and XTALIN pins of the Cypress
USB interface.

PASSIVE COMPONENT SELECTION
Although the evaluation board is preloaded with the passive
components required for a basic configuration, the same circuit
can be evaluated with different component values or filter
designs. Selecting the proper components is the key to
achieving the performance required at the budgeted cost.
INPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR SELECTION (C31
TO C36)
The input coupling capacitors, C31 to C36, should be large
enough to couple the low frequency signal components in the
incoming signal but small enough to filter out unnecessary
low frequency signals. For music signals, the cutoff frequency
chosen is often between 20 Hz and 30 Hz to preserve the low
frequency components of the signal; for applications with small
speakers, a higher cutoff frequency is often chosen to reduce
the power wasted on audio that cannot be reproduced by the
speaker.
The value of each input capacitor is calculated by
C = 1/(2πR
where:
R
is the sum of the amplifier’s input resistance and any
IN
external series resistor.
f
is the cutoff frequency.
C
The SSM2804 has two input modes: PGA mode and boost
mode. In boost mode, three gain settings are available, and the
input impedance is fixed at 20 kΩ.
In PGA mode, the system gain is adjustable in 31 steps from
−12 dB to +18 dB; however, the input impedance is not
constant. Because R
entire gain range of the SSM2804, this calculation must be
performed carefully to ensure that the low frequency
performance is acceptable at all gain levels.
As an example calculation, suppose that the low frequency
cutoff is to be no higher than 200 Hz and that the amplifier gain
varies between −12 dB and +18 dB. In the worst case, the input
resistance is as low as 4.5 kΩ. Because the cutoff frequency is
highest when the input resistance is small, the calculation should
be performed using this minimum resistance value—in this
case, giving a minimum capacitance of approximately 180 nF.
Use a larger standard value (perhaps 220 nF) to account for the
ordinary variation due to, for example, tolerance and temperature coefficient.
OUTPUT FERRITE BEADS (B1 TO B4)
The output beads, B1 to B4, are suggested components for
filtering out the EMI caused at the switching output nodes. The
penalty for using ferrite beads for EMI filtering is slightly worse
noise and distortion performance at the system level due to the
nonlinearity of the beads. Ensure that these beads have enough
current conducting capability while providing sufficient EMI
attenuation. The current rating needed for an 8 Ω load is approximately 420 mA, and impedance at 100 MHz must be ≥120 Ω. In
addition, the lower the dc resistance (DCR) of these beads, the
better for minimizing their power consumption. Ta ble 2 describes
suggested beads.
OUTPUT SHUNTING CAPACITORS (C43, C45, C47,
AND C49)
There are four output shunting capacitors, C43, C45, C47, and
C49, that work with the B1 to B4 ferrite beads, if they are used.
Use small size (0603 or 0402), multilayer ceramic capacitors that
are made of X7R or C0G (NP0) materials. Note that the capacitors can be used in pairs: a capacitor with small capacitance (up
to 100 pF) plus a capacitor with a larger capacitance (less than
1 nF). This configuration provides thorough EMI reduction for
the entire frequency spectrum. Alternatively, a single capacitor of
approximately 470 pF can be used if reducing the bill of materials is
a priority.
