APPLICATION INFORMATION
LAYOUT
As stated in the Grounding section, placement of
ground return lines is critical for maintaining the
highest level of system performance. It is not only
important to route the correct ground return lines
together, but also important to be aware of where
those ground return lines are routed in conjunction with
each other. The output load ground returns should be
physically located as far as reasonably possible from
low signal level lines and their ground return lines.
Critical signal lines are those relating to the
microphone amplifier section, since these lines
generally work at very low signal levels.
SUPPLY BYPASSING
modified, the size of the bypass capacitor, CB, can be
changed to alter the device turn-on time and the
amount of “click and pop”. By increasing CB, the
amount of turn-on pop can be reduced. However, the
trade-off for using a larger bypass capacitor is an
increase in the turn-on time for the device. Reducing
CB will decrease turn-on time and increase “click and
pop”.
There is a linear relationship between the size of CB
and the turn-on time. Some typical turn-on times for
different values of CB are:
Cb
TON
0.1μF
50ms
1μF
130ms
As with all op amps and power op amps, the
IS31AP4832 requires the supplies to be bypassed to
avoid oscillation. To avoid high frequency instabilities,
a 0.1μF metallized-film or ceramic capacitor should be
used to bypass the supplies as close to the chip as
possible. For low frequency considerations, a 10μF or
greater tantalum or electrolytic capacitor should be
paralleled with the high frequency bypass capacitor.
In order to eliminate “click and pop”, all capacitors
must be discharged before turn-on. Rapid on/off
switching of the device or shutdown function may
cause the “click and pop” circuitry to not operate fully,
resulting in increased “click and pop” noise.
If power supply bypass capacitors are not sufficiently
large, the current in the power supply leads, which is a
rectified version of the output current, may be fed back
into internal circuitry. This internal feedback signal can
cause high frequency distortion and oscillation.
Because the IS31AP4832 is a single supply circuit, all
audio signals must be capacitor coupled to the chip to
remove the 2.5 VDC bias. All audio inputs have 20kΩ
input impedances, so the AC-coupling capacitor will
create a high-pass filter with
If power supply lines to the chip are long, larger bypass
capacitors could be required. Long power supply leads
have inductance and resistance associated with them
that could prevent peak low frequency current
demands from being met. The extra bypass
capacitance will reduce the peak current requirements
from the power supply lines.
f−3dB = 1/(2π×20kΩ×CIN)
POWER-UP STATUS
On power-up or after a hard reset, the IS31AP4832
registers will be initialized with the default values listed
in the truth tables. By default, the tone controls are all
flat, 3D Enhance is off, and the chip is in stereo mode.
CLICK-AND-POP CIRCUITRY
The IS31AP4832 contains circuitry to minimize turn-on
transients or “click and pops”. In this case, turn-on
refers to either power supply turn-on or the device
coming out of shutdown mode. When the devices turn
on, the amplifiers are internally configured as unity
gain buffers. An internal current source charges the
bypass capacitor on the bypass pin. Both the inputs
and outputs ideally track the voltage at the bypass pin.
The device will remain in buffer mode until the bypass
pin has reached its half supply voltage, 1/2VDD. As
soon as the bypass node is stable, the device will
become fully operational.
Although the bypass pin current source cannot be

COUPLING CAPACITORS
POWER AMPLIFIER
The power amplifiers in the IS31AP4832 are designed
to drive 8Ω or 32Ω loads at 1.2W (continuous) and
90mW (continuous), respectively, with 1% THD+N. As
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics, the
power amplifiers typically drive 4Ω loads at 350mW,
but with a slight increase in high-frequency THD. As
discussed above, these outputs should be AC-coupled
to the output load.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the IS31AP4832 consists of two
pairs of operational amplifiers, forming a two-channel
(channel A and channel B) stereo amplifier. External
feedback resistors Rf and input resistors Ri set the
closed-loop gain of Amp A (NOUTA) and Amp B
(NOUTA) whereas two internal 20kΩ resistors set Amp
A’s (POUTA) and Amp B’s (POUTA) gain at 1. The
IS31AP4832 drives a load, such speaker, connected
between the two amplifier outputs, NOUTA and
POUTA.
Figure 1 shows that Amp A’s (NOUTA) output serves
as Amp A’s (POUTA) input. This results in both
amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but
180° out of phase. Taking advantage of this phase
difference, a load is placed between NOUTA and
14
IS31AP4832
POUTA and driven differentially (commonly referred to
as “bridge mode”). This results in a differential gain of
AVD = 2×(Rf/Ri)
(1)
Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended
amplifiers that drive loads connected between a single
amplifier’s output and ground. For a given supply
voltage, bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the
single-ended configuration: its differential output
doubles the voltage swing across the load. This
produces four times the output power when compared
to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions.
This increase in attainable output power assumes that
the amplifier is not current limited
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is
no net DC voltage across the load. This is
accomplished by biasing channel A’s and channel B’s
outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling
capacitor that single supply, single ended amplifiers
require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a
single-ended configuration forces a single-supply
amplifier’s half-supply bias voltage across the load.
This increases internal IC power dissipation and may
permanently damage loads such as speakers.
I2C INTERFACE
The IS31AP4832 uses a serial bus, which conforms to
the I2C protocol, to control the chip’s functions with two
wires: clock and data. The clock line is uni-directional.
The data line is bi-directional (open-collector) with a
pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ).The maximum clock
frequency specified by the I2C standard is 400kHz. In
this discussion, the master is the microcontroller and
the slave is the IS31AP4832.
The timing diagram for the I2C is shown in Figure 22.
The data is latched in on the stable high level of the
clock and the data line should be held high when not in
use. The timing diagram is broken up into six major
sections:
The “start” signal is generated by lowering the data
signal while the clock signal is high. The start signal
will alert all devices attached to the I2C bus to check
the incoming address against their own chip address.
The 8-bit chip address is sent next, most significant bit
first. Each address bit must be stable while the clock
level is high.
After the last bit of the address is sent, the master
checks for the IS31AP4832’s acknowledge. The
master releases the data line high (through a pull-up
resistor). Then the master sends a clock pulse. If the
IS31AP4832 has received the address correctly, then
it holds the data line low during the clock pulse. If the
data line is not low, then the master should send a
“stop” signal (discussed later) and abort the transfer.
The 8 bits of data are sent next, most significant bit first.
Each data bit should be valid while the clock level is
stable high.

Rev.A, 12/29/2011
After the data byte is sent, the master must generate
another acknowledge seeing if the IS31AP4832
received the data.
If the master has more data bytes to send to the
IS31AP4832, then the master can repeat the previous
two steps until all data bytes have been sent.
The “stop” signal ends the transfer. To signal “stop”,
the data signal goes high while the clock signal is high.
3D AUDIO ENHANCEMENT
The IS31AP4832 has a 3D audio enhancement effect
that helps improve the apparent stereo channel
separation when, because of cabinet or equipment
limitations, the left and right speakers are closer to
each other than optimal.
An external RC network is required to enable the effect.
The amount of the effect is set by the 5kΩ resistor. A
220nF capacitor is used to reduce the effect at
frequencies below 140Hz. Increasing the value of the
capacitor will decrease the low cutoff frequency at
which the Stereo Enhanced effect starts to occur as
shown below
F(–3dB) = 1/2π R3D×C3D
Decreasing the resistor size will make the 3D effect
more pronounced and decreasing the capacitor size
will raise the cutoff frequency for the effect.
TONE CONTROL RESPONSE
Bass and treble tone controls are included in the
IS31AP4832. The tone controls use two external
capacitors for each stereo channel. Each has a corner
frequency determined by the value of C1 (connected
between loop out and tone in) and C2 (connected
between tone out and loop in) and internal resistors in
the feedback loop of the internal tone amplifier.
Typically, C1 = C2 and for 100 Hz and 10kHz corner
frequencies, C1 = C2 = 2.2nF. Altering the ratio
between C1 and C2, changes the midrange gain. For
example, if C1 = 2(C2), then the frequency response
will be flat at 20Hz and 20kHz, but will have a 6dB
peak at 1kHz.
With C = C1 = C2, the treble turn-over frequency is
nominally
fTT = 1/(2πC(56kΩ))
and the bass turn-over frequency is nominally
fBT = 1/(2πC(113.3kΩ)),
when maximum boost is chosen. The inflection points
(the frequencies where the boost or cut is within 3dB of
the final value) are, for treble and bass respectively,
fTI = 1/(2πC(7.1kΩ))
fBI = 1/(2πC(631.7kΩ))
Increasing the values of C1 and C2 decreases the
15
IS31AP4832
turnover and inflection frequencies: i.e., the Tone
Control Response Curves shown in Typical
Performance Section will shift left when C1 and C2 are
increased and shift right when C1 and C2 are
decreased. With C1 = C2 = 0.0022μF, 2dB steps are
achieved at 100Hz and 10kHz. Changing C1 and C2 to
0.001μF shifts the 2dB step frequency to 220Hz and
25kHz. If the tone control capacitors’ size is decreased
these frequencies will increase. With C1 = C2 =
0.0033μF the 2dB steps take place at 68Hz and
7.6kHz.
