3APPLICATION SUGGESTIONS
The first and the last stages are volume control blocks. The control range is 0 to -63dB (mute) with 1dB
step resolution for this first one, 0 to 24dB (mute) with 8dB step resolution for the last one.
The very high resolution allows the implementation of systems free from any noisy acoustical effect.
The TDA7468D audioprocessor provides 2 bands tones control.
3.1 Bass, Stages
The Bass cell has an internal resistor R
Several filter types can be implemented, connecting external components to the Bass IN and OUT pins.
The fig.5 refers to basic T Type Bandpass Filter
R2,C1,C2 external) the centre frequency Fc, the gain Av at max. boost and the filter Q factor are computed
as follows:
, AV, and Ri internal value are fixed, the external components values will be:
C
A
----------------------------------------- -
C1
2 π F
R2
3.2 Treble Stage
The treble stage is a high pass filter whose time constant is fixed by an internal resistor (25KΩ typical) and
an external capacitor connected between treble pins and ground.
3.3 CREF
The suggested 10µF reference capacitor (CREF) value can be reduced to 4.7µF if the application requires
faster power ON.

TDA7468
4I2C BUS INTERFACE
Data transmission from microprocessor to the TDA7468D and vice versa takes place through the 2 wires
2
I
C BUS interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to positive supply voltage
must be connected).
4.1 Data Validity
As shown in fig. 6, the data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock. The HIGH
and LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW.
4.2 Start and Stop Conditions
As shown in fig.7 a start condition is a HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. The
stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.
4.3 Byte Format
Every byte transferred on the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge
bit. The MSB is transferred first.
4.4 Acknowledge
The master (µP) puts a restive HIGH level on the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse (see fig.
4). The peripheral (audio processor) that acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during this
clock pulse. The audio processor which has been addressed has to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte, otherwise the SDA line remains at the HIGH level during the ninth clock pulse time.
In this case the master transmitter can generate the STOP information in order to abort the transfer.
4.5 Transmission without Acknowledge
Avoiding to detect the acknowledge of the audio processor, the µP can use a simpler transmission: simply
it waits one clock without checking the slave acknowledging, and sends the new data. This approach of
course is less protected from misworking.

6.1 No Incremental Bus
The TDA7468D receives a start condition, the correct chip address, a subaddress with the B = 0 (no incremental bus), N-data (all these data concern the subaddress selected), a stop condition.
