MAX97003
High-Efficiency, Low-Noise Audio Subsystem

General Description

The MAX97003 audio subsystem combines a mono speaker amplifier with a stereo headphone amplifier. The headphone and speaker amplifiers have independent volume and on/off controls. The four inputs are configu­rable as two differential or four single-ended inputs.
To minimize output noise, both the headphone and speaker outputs utilize a downward expander/noise gate to attenuate noise when no desired input signal is present.
The speaker output incorporates an adjustable dynamic range compressor (DRC) and distortion limiter to protect the speaker and maximize loudness. This allows high gain for low-level signals without compromising the qual­ity of large signals.
All controls are performed using the two-wire I2C inter­face. The IC operates in the extended -40NC to +85NC temperature range, and is available in the 2.0mm x
2.4mm, 20-bump WLP package (0.4mm pitch).

Applications

High-Efficiency, Low-Noise Audio Subsystem

Detailed Description

The MAX97003 audio subsystem combines a mono speaker amplifier with a stereo headphone amplifier. The high-efficiency 1W class D speaker amplifier operates directly from a lithium-ion battery and consumes no more than 0.05FA when in shutdown mode. The headphone amplifier utilizes a dual-mode charge pump and a Class H output stage to maximize efficiency while outputting a ground-referenced signal that does not require output coupling capacitors. The headphone and speaker ampli­fiers have independent volume and on/off control. The four inputs are configurable as two differential inputs or four single-ended inputs. All control is performed using the two-wire I2C interface.
The speaker amplifier incorporates a distortion limiter to automatically reduce the volume level when excessive clipping occurs. This allows high gain for low-level sig­nals without compromising the quality of large signals. The speaker amplifier also features an adjustable DRC that provides programmable compression or limiting of the audio signal. Both the headphone and speaker

amplifiers feature a downward expander/noise gate to attenuate noise when no input signal is present. The headphone amplifier features a ground-sense pin to eliminate ground loop noise when the headphone jack is in use.

Signal Path

The signal path consists of flexible inputs, signal mixing, volume control, and output amplifiers (Figure 1). The inputs can be configured for single-ended or differen­tial signals (Figure 2). The internal preamplifiers feature programmable gain settings using internal resistors. Following preamplification, the input signals are mixed, volume adjusted, and routed to the headphone and speaker amplifiers based on the desired configuration.

Class D Speaker Amplifier

The Class D speaker amplifier utilizes active emissions­limiting and spread-spectrum modulation to minimize the EMI radiated by the amplifier.

Ultra-Low EMI Filterless Output Stage

Traditional Class D amplifiers require the use of external LC filters or shielding to meet EN55022B electromag­netic-interference (EMI) regulation standards. Maxim’s patented active emissions limiting edge-rate control circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation reduces EMI emissions, while maintaining up to 93% efficiency. Maxim’s spread-spectrum modulation mode flattens wideband spectral components, while proprietary tech­niques ensure that the cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency. The IC’s spread-spectrum modulator random­ly varies the switching frequency by Q10kHz around the center frequency (300kHz). Above 10MHz, the wideband spectrum looks like noise for EMI purposes. See Figure 3.

Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC)

The speaker amplifier features a dynamic range compres­sor (DRC) that attenuates high-amplitude signals and allows for a higher gain setting to be selected without clipping the output signal. This increases the perceived loudness of the audio signal and maintains a stable output amplitude despite changes in input amplitude. Figure 4,
Figure 5, and Figure 6 demonstrate the benefits of using
the DRC. Each of these figures uses the same input signal.
To operate the DRC, select a threshold level, compres­sion ratio, attack time constant, and release time through registers 0x0A and 0x0B. When enabled, RMS signal levels that cross above the selected DRC threshold level are attenuated based on the selected compression ratio (Figure 7). Attenuation is achieved by automatically mod­ifying the speaker volume to a lower gain setting. The user-selected gain setting is automatically restored when the RMS signal level falls below the DRC threshold. The attack time constant determines the time constant used when the DRC engages. The release time determines the time-per-step used when the DRC disengages.

Expander

The IC’s speaker and headphone amplifier signal paths include and expander. The expander reduces the noise floor when there is no desired input signal by attenuat­ing peak signals that are below the selected expander threshold (Figure 8). Attenuation is achieved by automati­cally modifying the speaker or headphone volume to a lower gain setting. Expansion ratio and attack time set­tings are configured by registers 0x0C for the headphone path and 0x0D for the speaker path. The expansion ratio determines the input:output relationship used when the input signal is below the selected threshold. The expan­sion attack time determines the time-per-step used when the expander engages. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the benefits of the expander by comparing the output with the expander disabled against the output with the expander enabled.

The expander acts as a noise gate when the expansion ratio is set to an input:output relationship of infinity:1. In this case, all signals below the selected threshold are muted.

Speaker Low-Power Mode

The IC’s speaker path expander includes a low-power mode that increases power efficiency when there is no desired input signal. Set the programmable threshold in register 0x0F to determine when low-power mode is activated. When low-power mode is enabled, the Class D switching output is active only if the speaker volume setting selected by the expander is above the selected low-power mode threshold. For example, if the speaker low-power mode threshold is set to -30dB and the input

signal is such that the speaker expander attenuates the output volume setting to at least -30dB, the Class D amplifier is turned off (Figure 11). Low-power mode is only available when the speaker expander is enabled.

Distortion Limiter

The speaker amplifier integrates a limiter to provide speaker protection and ensures high-quality audio. When enabled, the limiter monitors the audio signal at the out­put of the Class D speaker amplifier and decreases the gain if the distortion exceeds the predefined threshold. Attenuation is achieved by automatically modifying the speaker volume as appropriate. The limiter automatically tracks the battery voltage to reduce the gain as the bat­tery voltage drops.
Figure 12 shows the typical output vs. input curves with
and without the distortion limiter. The dotted line shows the maximum gain for a given distortion limit without the distortion limiter. The solid line shows how, with the distortion limiter enabled, the gain can be increased without exceeding the set distortion limit. When the limiter is enabled, selecting a high gain level results in peak signals being attenuated while low signals are left unchanged. This increases the perceived loudness with­out the harshness of a clipped waveform.
To operate the distortion limiter, select a distortion thresh­old and release time constant through the 0x0E register. ZCD must be set to 0 in register 0x11 for the distortion limiter to operate properly.

Headphone Amplifier

DirectDrive

Traditional single-supply headphone amplifiers have outputs biased at a nominal DC voltage (typically half the supply). Large coupling capacitors are needed to block this DC bias from the headphone. Without these capacitors, a significant amount of DC current flows to the headphone, resulting in unnecessary power dis­sipation and possible damage to both headphone and headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s patented DirectDriveM architecture uses a charge pump to create an internal negative supply volt­age. This allows the headphone outputs of the IC to be biased at GND while operating from a single supply (Figure 13). Without a DC component, there is no need for the large DC-blocking capacitors. Instead of two large (220FF, typ) capacitors, the IC's charge pump requires

two small ceramic capacitors, conserving board space, reducing cost, and improving the frequency response of the headphone amplifier. See the Output Power vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics section for details of the possible capacitor sizes. There is a low DC voltage on the amplifier outputs due to amplifier offset. However, the offset of the IC is typically Q0.15mV, which, when combined with a 32I load, results in less than 5FA of DC current flow to the headphones.
In addition to the cost and size disadvantages of the DC-blocking capacitors required by conventional headphone amplifiers, these capacitors limit the ampli­fier’s low-frequency response and can distort the audio signal. Previous attempts at eliminating the

• DuringanESD strike, the amplifier’s ESD structures

• Whenusingtheheadphonejackasalineouttoother
equipment, the bias voltage on the sleeve can con­flict with the ground potential from other equipment, resulting in possible damage to the amplifiers.

Charge Pump

The IC’s dual-mode charge pump generates both the positive and negative power supply for the headphone amplifier. To maximize efficiency, both the charge pump’s switching frequency and output voltage change based on signal level.
When the input signal level is less than 10% of VDD, the switching frequency is reduced to a low rate. This minimizes switching-losses in the charge pump. When the input signal exceeds 10% of VDD, the switching fre­quency increases to support the load current.
For input signals below 25% of VDD, the charge pump generates Q(VDD/2) to minimize the voltage drop across the amplifier’s power stage and thus improves efficiency. Input signals that exceed 25% of VDD cause the charge pump to output QVDD. The higher output voltage allows for full output power from the headphone amplifier.
To prevent audible glitches when transitioning from the Q(VDD/2) output mode to the QVDD output mode, the charge pump transitions very quickly. This quick change draws significant current from VDD for the duration of the transition. The bypass capacitor on VDD supplies the required current and prevent droop on VDD.
The charge pump’s dynamic switching mode can be turned off through the I2C interface. The charge pump can then be forced to output either Q(VDD/2) or QVDD regardless of input signal level.

High-Efficiency, Low-Noise Audio Subsystem

Class H Operation

A Class H amplifier uses a Class AB output stage with power supplies that are modulated by the output signal. In the case of the IC, two nominal power-supply differen­tials of 1.8V (+0.9V to -0.9V) and 3.6V (+1.8V to -1.8V) are available from the charge pump. Figure 14 shows the operation of the output voltage dependent power supply.

Ground Sense

The headphone amplifier features output ground sensing that is used to reduce ground loop noise when the head­phone output jack is connected to a different ground than the amplifier ground. An example of this is when the head­phone jack is used as a lineout and connected to an exter­nal power amplifier. In addition, the ground sense reduces noise that can be caused by voltage drops between the amplifier ground and the headphone jack ground pin dur­ing normal headphone use. HPSNS must be connected to the ground pin on the headphone jack.

Volume-Change Features

The IC includes several features that enhance perfor­mance during volume changes. Zero-crossing detec­tion, volume slewing, and enhanced volume smoothing are used to improve click-and-pop performance during volume changes. Volume readback is used to report the actual volume setting after the DRC, expander, or distor­tion limiter applies an automatic volume change.

Zero-Crossing Detection

The IC features zero-crossing detection to reduce clicks and pops during volume changes. When zero-crossing detection is enabled, all volume changes are delayed until a zero-crossing has been detected. If no zero-cross­ing is detected within 100ms, then the zero-crossing detector times out and volume changes are executed.

Disabling zero-crossing detection allows volume chang­es to occur immediately.

Volume Slewing

The IC offers volume slewing for all volume changes to further reduce clicks and pops. When enabled, the IC ramps through intermediate volume settings when a change to the volume is made. If zero-crossing detection is disabled, slewing occurs at a rate of 0.2ms per step. If zero-crossing detection is enabled, slew time depends on the input signal. If the duration between zero-cross­ings is less than 0.2ms, the slew time is limited at 0.2ms per volume change. If the duration between zero-cross­ings is longer than 0.2ms, volume changes occur at each zero-crossing. Volume slewing also provides a soft-start at power-on and soft-stop at power-off.

Enhanced Volume Smoothing

Enhanced volume smoothing can be used when the vol­ume slewing feature is enabled. When enhanced volume smoothing is enabled and a volume change occurs, the IC waits for each step in the ramp to be applied before executing the next step. When zero-crossing detection is enabled, enhanced volume smoothing prevents large steps in the output volume when no zero-crossings are detected.

Volume Readback

The IC features three volume readback registers that report the actual volume settings of the speaker, left headphone, and right headphone volume registers. The DRC, expander, and distortion limiter are capable of automatically adjusting these volume registers according to their respective settings.

I2C Slave Address

The IC’s audio subsystem uses a slave address of 0x9A or 1001101 R/W. The address is defined as the 7 most significant bits (MSBs) followed by the read/write bit. Set the read/write bit to 1 to configure the audio subsystem to read mode. Set the read/write bit to 0 to configure the IC to write mode. The address is the first byte of information sent to the IC after the START condition.

Dynamic Range Control

The DRC attenuates high-level signals without affecting low-level signals. Attenuation is achieved by automatically modifying the speaker volume as appropriate. When the DRC is enabled, the overall volume can be increased without clipping the high-level signals. To operate the DRC, select a compression threshold, compression ratio, attack time constant, and release time.

The speaker expander includes a low-power mode that increases power efficiency when a desired audio signal is not present. When this feature is enabled, the Class D switching output is active only if the speaker volume setting selected by the expander is above the selected low-power mode threshold. Low-power mode is only available when the speaker expander is enabled.

Volume Slewing. Determines whether volume slewing is used on all volume control changes to reduce clicks and pops.

I2C Serial Interface

The IC features an I2C/SMBus-compatible, two-wire seri­al interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate communi­cation between the IC and the master at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 1 shows the two-wire interface timing dia­gram. The master generates SCL and initiates data trans­fer on the bus. The master device writes data to the IC by transmitting the proper slave address followed by the register address and then the data word. Each transmit

sequence is framed by a START (S) or REPEATED START (Sr) condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each word transmitted to the IC is 8 bits long and is followed by an acknowledge clock pulse. A master reading data from the IC transmits the proper slave address followed by a series of nine SCL pulses. The IC transmits data on SDA in sync with the master-generated SCL pulses. The master acknowledges receipt of each byte of data. Each read sequence is framed by a START (S) or REPEATED START (Sr) condition, a not acknowledge, and a STOP

(P) condition. SDA operates as both an input and an open-drain output. A pullup resistor, typically greater than 500I, is required on SDA. SCL operates only as an input. A pullup resistor, typically greater than 500I, is required on SCL if there are multiple masters on the bus, or if the single master has an open-drain SCL output. Series resistors in line with SDA and SCL are optional. Series resistors protect the digital inputs of the IC from high voltage spikes on the bus lines, and minimize cross­talk and undershoot of the bus signals.

Bit Transfer

One data bit is transferred during each SCL cycle. The data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the SCL pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are control signals. See the START and STOP Conditions section.

START and STOP Conditions

SDA and SCL idle high when the bus is not in use. A mas­ter initiates communication by issuing a START condition. A START condition is a high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high (Figure 16). A START condition from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to the IC. The master terminates transmission, and frees

the bus, by issuing a STOP condition. The bus remains active if a REPEATED START condition is generated instead of a STOP condition.

Early STOP Conditions

The IC recognizes a STOP condition at any point during data transmission except if the STOP condition occurs in the same high pulse as a START condition. For proper operation, do not send a STOP condition during the same SCL high pulse as the START condition.

Slave Address

The slave address is defined as the seven most signifi­cant bits (MSBs) followed by the read/write bit. For the IC, the seven most significant bits are 1001101. Setting the read/write bit to 1 (slave address = 0x9B) configures the IC for read mode. Setting the read/write bit to 0 (slave address = 0x9A) configures the IC for write mode. The address is the first byte of information sent to the IC after the START condition.

Acknowledge

The acknowledge bit (ACK) is a clocked ninth bit that the IC uses to handshake receipt each byte of data when in write mode (Figure 17). The IC pulls down SDA dur­ing the entire master-generated ninth clock pulse if the previous byte is successfully received. Monitoring ACK allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master retries com­munication. The master pulls down SDA during the ninth clock cycle to acknowledge receipt of data when the IC is in read mode. An acknowledge is sent by the master after each read byte to allow data transfer to continue. A not-acknowledge is sent when the master reads the final byte of data from the IC, followed by a STOP condition.

Write Data Format

A write to the IC includes transmission of a START con­dition, the slave address with the R/W bit set to 0, one byte of data to configure the internal register address pointer, one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condi­tion. Figure 18 illustrates the proper frame format for writing one byte of data to the IC. Figure 19 illustrates the frame format for writing n-bytes of data to the IC.
The slave address with the R/W bit set to 0 indicates that the master intends to write data to the IC. The IC acknowledges receipt of the address byte during the master-generated ninth SCL pulse.

The third byte sent to the IC contains the data that are written to the chosen register. An acknowledge pulse from the IC signals receipt of the data byte. The address pointer autoincrements to the next register address after each received data byte. This autoincrement feature allows a master to write to sequential registers within one continuous frame. The master signals the end of trans­mission by issuing a STOP condition. Register addresses greater than 0x12 are reserved. Do not write to these addresses.

Read Data Format

Send the slave address with the R/W bit set to 1 to initi­ate a read operation. The IC acknowledges receipt of its slave address by pulling SDA low during the ninth SCL clock pulse. A START command followed by a read com­mand resets the address pointer to register 0x00.
The first byte transmitted from the IC is the contents of register 0x00. Transmitted data is valid on the rising edge of SCL. The address pointer autoincrements after each read data byte. This autoincrement feature allows all registers to be read sequentially within one continuous frame. A STOP condition can be issued after any number of read data bytes. If a STOP condition is issued followed by another read operation, the first data byte to be read are from register 0x00.

The address pointer can be preset to a specific register before a read command is issued.

The address pointer autoincrements after transmitting the first byte.
The master acknowledges receipt of each read byte during the acknowledge clock pulse. The master must acknowledge all correctly received bytes except the last byte.

Applications Information

Filterless Class D Operation

Traditional Class D amplifiers require an output filter to recover the audio signal from the amplifier’s output. The filters add cost, increase the solution size of the amplifier, and can decrease efficiency and THD+N performance. The traditional PWM scheme uses large differential output swings (2 x V causes large ripple currents. Any parasitic resistance in the filter components results in a loss of power, lowering the efficiency.
The IC does not require an output filter. The device relies on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural filtering of both the speaker and the human ear to recover the audio component of the square-wave out­put. Eliminating the output filter results in a smaller, less costly, more efficient solution.
Because the frequency of the IC output is well beyond the bandwidth of most speakers, voice coil movement due to the square-wave frequency is very small. Although this movement is small, a speaker not designed to handle the additional power can be damaged. For optimum results, use a speaker with a series inductance > 10FH. Typical 8I speakers exhibit series inductances in the 20FH to 100FH range.
GSM radios transmit using time-division multiple access (TDMA) with 217Hz intervals. The result is an RF signal with strong amplitude modulation at 217Hz and its har­monics that is easily demodulated by audio amplifiers. The IC is designed specifically to reject RF signals. PCB layout, however, has a large impact on the susceptibility of the end product.
peak-to-peak) and
PVDD

RF Susceptibility

In RF applications, improvements to both layout and component selection decreases the IC’s susceptibility to RF noise and prevent RF signals from being demodulated into audible noise. Trace lengths should be kept below 1/4 of the wavelength of the RF frequency of interest. Minimizing the trace lengths prevents them from function­ing as antennas and coupling RF signals into the IC. The wavelength (l) in meters is given by: l = c/f where c = 3 x 108 m/s, and f = the RF frequency of interest.
Route audio signals on middle layers of the PCB to allow ground planes above and below to shield them from RF interference. Ideally, the top and bottom layers of the PCB should primarily be ground planes to create effec­tive shielding.
Additional RF immunity can also be obtained by rely­ing on the self-resonant frequency of capacitors as it exhibits the frequency response similar to a notch filter. Depending on the manufacturer, 10pF to 20pF capaci­tors typically exhibit self resonance at RF frequencies. These capacitors when placed at the input pins can effectively shunt the RF noise at the inputs of the IC. For these capacitors to be effective, they must have a low­impedance, low-inductance path to the ground plane. Avoid using microvias to connect to the ground plane whenever possible as these vias do not conduct well at RF frequencies.

Startup/Shutdown Sequencing

To ensure proper device initialization and minimal click­and-pop, program the IC’s control registers in the correct order. Table 13 lists the correct startup sequence for the device. To shutdown the IC, simply set SHDN = 0.

Component Selection

Optional Ferrite Bead Filter

For applications in which speaker leads exceed 20mm, additional EMI suppression can be achieved by using a filter constructed from a ferrite bead and a capacitor to ground (Figure 22). Use a ferrite bead with low DC resis­tance, high frequency (> 600MHz) impedance between 100I and 600I, and rated for at least 1A. The capacitor value varies based on the ferrite bead chosen and the actual speaker lead length. Select a capacitor less than 1nF based on EMI performance.

Input Capacitor

An input capacitor, CIN, in conjunction with the input impedance of the IC line inputs forms a highpass filter that removes the DC bias from an incoming analog signal. The AC-coupling capacitor allows the amplifier to automatically bias the signal to an optimum DC level. Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point of the highpass filter is given by:

best audio quality, use capacitors whose dielectrics have low-voltage coefficients, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as ceramics, can result in increased distortion at low frequencies.

Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection

Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100mI for optimum performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors minimize the output resistance of the charge pump. Most surface­mount ceramic capacitors satisfy the ESR requirement. For best performance over the extended temperature range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric.

Charge-Pump Flying Capacitor

The value of the flying capacitor (connected between C1N and C1P) affects the output resistance of the charge pump. A value that is too small degrades the device’s ability to provide sufficient current drive, which leads to a loss of output voltage. Increasing the value of the flying capacitor reduces the charge-pump output resistance to an extent. Above 1FF, the on-resistance of the internal switches and the ESR of external charge-pump capaci­tors dominate.

Charge-Pump Holding Capacitor

The holding capacitor (bypassing CPVSS) value and ESR directly affect the ripple at CPVSS. Increasing the capac­itor’s value reduces output ripple. Likewise, decreasing the ESR reduces both ripple and output resistance. Lower capacitance values can be used in systems with low maximum output power levels. See the Output Power vs. Load Resistance graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section for more information.

Supply Bypassing, Layout, and Grounding

Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum performance. Use a large continuous ground plane on a dedicated layer of the PCB to minimize loop areas. Connect GND and PGND directly to the ground plane using the shortest trace length possible. Proper ground­ing improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels, and prevents digital noise from cou­pling into the analog signals.
Place the capacitor between C1P and C1N as close as possible to the IC to minimize trace length from C1P to C1N. Inductance and resistance added to C1P and C1N reduce the output power of the headphone ampli­fier. Bypass CPVDD and CPVSS with capacitors located close to the pins with a short trace length to PGND. Close decoupling of CPVDD and CPVSS minimizes supply ripple and maximizes output power from the headphone amplifier.
Bypass PVDD to PGND with as little trace length as pos­sible. Connect SPKP and SPKN to the speaker using the shortest and widest traces possible. Reducing trace length minimizes radiated EMI. Route SPKP/SPKN as a differential pair on the PCB to minimize the loop area and thereby the inductance of the circuit. If filter compo­nents are used on the speaker outputs, be sure to locate them as close as possible to the IC to ensure maximum effectiveness. Minimize the trace length from any ground tied passive components to PGND to further minimize radiated EMI.
