FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The source selector allows either the source selection
between the differential stereo input (IAL, IAR and COM)
and three stereo inputs, or selection of four stereo inputs
and the mono input (COM). The maximum input signal
voltage is V

= 2 V. The outputs of the source selector

i(rms)

and the inputs of the following volume control parts are
available at pins 13 and 11 for the left channel and pins 28
and 30 for the right channel. This offers the possibility of
interfacing a noise reduction system.

The volume control part is following the source selector.
The signal phase from input volume control part to all
outputs is 180°.

volume I control block and volume II control block.
The control range of volume I is between +20 dB and

−31 dB in steps of 1 dB. The volume II control range is
between 0 dB and −55 dB in steps of 1 dB. Although the
theoretical possible control range is 106 dB
(+20 to −86 dB), in practice a range of 86 dB
(+20 to −66 dB) is recommended. The gain/attenuation
setting of the volume I control block is common for both
channels.

The volume I control block operates in combination with
the loudness control. The filter is linear when the maximum
gain for the volume I control (+20 dB) is selected. The filter
characteristic increases automatically over a range of
32 dB down to a setting of −12 dB. That means the
maximum filter characteristic is obtained at −12 dB setting
of volume I. Further reduction of the volume does not
further influence the filter characteristic (see Fig.5). The
maximum selected filter characteristic is determined by
external components. The proposed application gives a
maximum boost of 17 dB for bass and 4.5 dB for treble.
The loudness may be switched on or off via I2C-bus control
(see Table 7).

The volume I control block has an output pin and is
followed by the bass control block. An external filter for
each channel in combination with internal resistors,
provides the frequency response of the bass control (see
Fig.3). The adjustable range is between−18 and +18 dB in
steps of 1.8 dB at 46 Hz.

Both, loudness and bass control result in a maximum bass
boost of 35 dB for low volume settings.

The treble control block offers a control range between

−12 and +12 dB in steps of 1.5 dB at 15 kHz. The filter
characteristic is determined by a single capacitor of 5.6 nF
for each channel in combination with internal resistors
(see Fig.4).

The basic step width of treble control is 3 dB. The
intermediate steps are obtained by switching 1.5 dB boost
and 1.5 dB attenuation steps.

The bass and treble control functions can be switched off
via I2C-bus. In this event the internal signal flow is
disconnected. The connections B2L and B2R are outputs
and TL and TR are inputs for inserting an external
equalizer.

Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification

Sound fader control circuit TEA6323T

The last section of the circuit is the volume II block. The
balance and fader functions are performed using the same
control blocks. This is realized by 4 independently
controllable attenuators, one for each output. The control
range of these attenuators is 55 dB in steps of 1 dB with an
additional mute step.

The circuit provides 3 mute modes:

1. Zero crossing mode mute via I2C-bus using
2 independent zero crossing detectors (ZCM,
see Tables 2 and 9).

2. Fast mute via MUTE pin.

3. Fast mute via I2C-bus either by general mute (GMU,
see Tables 2 and 9) or volume II block setting
(see Table 4).

The mute function is performed immediately if ZCM is
cleared (ZCM = 0). If the bit is set (ZCM = 1) the mute is
activated after changing the GMU bit. The actual mute
switching is delayed until the next zero crossing of the
audio frequency signal. As the two audio channels (left and
right) are independent, two comparators are built-in to
control independent mute switches.

To avoid a large delay of mute switching when very low
frequencies are processed or the output signal amplitude
is lower than the DC offset voltage a second I2C-bus
transmission is needed. Both transmissions have the
same data and the second transmission a delay time of
e.g. 100 ms. The first transmission starts the zero cross
circuit, but second transmission moves the mute switch
immediately if the circuit has no zero cross detected.

The mute function can also be controlled externally. If the
mute pin is switched to ground all outputs are muted
immediately (except the outputs volume left and right (OVL
and OVR) and hardware mute). This mute request
overwrites all mute controls via the I2C-bus for the time the
pin is held LOW. The hardware mute position is not stored
in the TEA6323T.

The mute pin can also be used as output. The mute pin
voltage is low when all outputs are in mute position.

For the turn on/off behaviour the following explanation is
generally valid. To avoid AF output caused by the input
signal coming from preceding stages, which produces
output during drop of VCC, the mute has to be set, before
the VCC will drop. This can be achieved by I2C-bus control
or by grounding the MUTE pin.

For use where is no mute in the application before turn off,
a supply voltage drop of more than 1 × VBE will result in a
mute during the voltage drop.

The power supply should include a VCC buffer capacitor,
which provides a discharging time constant. If the input
signal does not disappear after turn off the input will
become audible after certain time. A 4.7 kΩ resistor
discharges the VCC buffer capacitor, because the internal
current of the IC does not discharge it completely.

The hardware mute function is favourable for use in Radio
Data System (RDS) applications. The zero crossing mute
avoids modulation plops. This feature is an advantage for
mute during changing presets and/or sources (e.g. traffic
announcement during cassette playback).

1. The indicated values for output power assume a 6 W power amplifier at 4 Ω with 20 dB gain and a fixed attenuator
of 12 dB in front of it. Signal-to-noise ratios exclude noise contribution of the power amplifier.

2. The transmission contains: total initialization with MAD and subaddress for volume and 8 data words, see also
definition of characteristics, clock frequency = 50 kHz, repetition burst rate = 400 Hz, maximum bus signal
amplitude = 5 V (p-p).
