Hi-fi stereo audio processor; I2C-bus
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8426 is a stereo sound circuit with a loudspeaker
channel facility, digital controlled via the I2C-bus, for
application in hi-fi audio and television sound. Reduced
spatial antiphase crosstalk (30%) makes the device
especially suitable for application in projection television
receivers.
Features
• Source and mode selector for two stereo channels
• Pseudo stereo, spatial stereo, linear stereo and forced
mono switch
• Volume and balance control
• Bass, treble and mute control
• Power supply with power-on reset

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Source selector
The input to channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2) is determined by the source selector. The selection is made from the
following AF input signals:
• IN1 L (pin 18); IN1 R (pin 20)
or
• IN2 L (pin 1); IN2 R (pin 3)
Mode selector
The mode selector selects between stereo, sound A and sound B (in the event of bilingual transmission) for OUT R and
OUT L.
Volume control and balance
The volume control consists of two stages (left and right). In each part the gain can be adjusted between +6 dB and
−64 dB in steps of 2 dB. An additional step allows an attenuation of ≥ 80 dB. Both parts can be controlled independently
over the whole range, which allows the balance to be varied by controlling the volume of left and right output channels.
Linear stereo, pseudo stereo, spatial stereo and forced mono mode
(1)
It is possible to select four modes: linear stereo, pseudo stereo, spatial stereo or forced mono. The pseudo stereo mode
handles mono transmissions, the spatial stereo mode handles stereo transmissions and the forced mono can be used
in the event of stereo signals.
(1) During forced mono mode the pseudo stereo mode cannot be used.

Bass control
The bass control stage can be switched from an emphasis of 15 dB to an attenuation of 12 dB for low frequencies in
steps of 3 dB.
Treble control
The treble control stage can be switched from +12 dB to −12 dB in steps of 3 dB.
Bias and power supply
The TDA8426 includes a bias and power supply stage, which generates a voltage of 0.5 × V
impedance and injector currents for the logic part.
Power-on reset
The on-chip power-on reset circuit sets the mute bit to active, which mutes both parts of the treble amplifier. The muting
can be switched by transmission of the mute bit.

Bus specification
The TDA8426 is controlled via the 2-wire I2C-bus by a microcomputer.
The two wires (SDA − serial data, SCL− serial clock) carry information between the devices connected to the bus. Both
SDA and SCL are bidirectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull up resistor.
When the bus is free both lines are HIGH.
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line
can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW. The set up and hold times are specified in
AC CHARACTERISTICS.
CC
TDA8426
with a low output
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH is defined as a start condition.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH is defined as a stop condition.
The bus receiver will be reset by the reception of a start condition. The bus is considered to be busy after the start
condition.
The bus is considered to be free again after a stop condition.
Module address
Data transmission to the TDA8426 starts with the module address MAD.

Subaddress
After the module address byte a second byte is used to select the following functions:
• Volume left, volume right, bass, treble and switch functions
The subaddress SAD is stored within the TDA8426. Table 1 defines the coding of the second byte after the module
address MAD.
