BH3868BFS
BH3868BFS is a Audio sound processor IC developed for TV. This IC is built-in volume, balance, tone, surround, BBE
2
processor and AGC. This IC can be easily controlled by tow-wire serial control (I C BUS).
∗ BBE is a registered trade mark of BBE Sound Inc.
Note : I2C BUS is a registered trade mark of Philips.
!Applications
Suitable for TV, TV-radio, PC-TV, mini-component and car audio system, etc.
!Features
1) Volume (main volume), balance (right/left), tone (bass and treble), surround (mode and effect), BBE processor (effect)
2
can be controlled by I C-BUS.
2) Volume is VCA with low distortion rate and low noise and can restrain the step noise.
3) The reference voltage source is stable, only a few external devices are required because I/O buffer is contained, and
the package is suitable for space-saving design for SSOP-A32.
4) Sound spread can be controlled by the matrix surround and effect adjustment.
5) The built-in AGC circuit can absorb the volume difference between input sources.
6) The contained BBE processor, which reproduce an original sound, controls the effect.

than the specified maximum tOF for the output stages (250ns). This allows series protection resistors (RS) to be connected between
the SDA/SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines as shown in Fig.1 without exceeding the maximum specified tF.
The above-mentioned characteristics are theoretical values based on IC design and the delivery inspection does not guarantee anything.
If any trouble is made, we will take necessary arrangements and actions in our faith.

!AGC
(1) Level Setting
The AGC suppression level can be set by the voltage of the AGDADJ terminal (31pin). Assuming that the suppression
level is GC (mVrms) and the AGCADJ voltage is ADJ (V), setting can be expressed as follows:
GC=−286×ADJ+1186
The under-mentioned table shows a guideline of setting.

The Attack Time and Recovery Time shall be set by a resistor in IC and external capacitor and resistor. The internal
resistance is RR1=430Ω and RR2=20KΩ (Typ).
If the constant of capacitor C2 of LS2 decreases, an amplification starting point is shifted in a direction of smaller input
voltage. Moreover, the distortion rate also changes and becomes worse.
If the constant of capacitor C1 of LS1C1 decreases, the distortion rate becomes worse. If the resistance value of RL1
increases, the suppression is reduced.
!SURROUND

The above-mentioned figures show the block diagram of surround and pseudo stereo ICs. The characteristics of
surround and pseudo stereo can be varied by changing the effect. Moreover, the number of states of phase shifters can
be increased by turning on a switch of loop. However, an operation becomes unstable if the gain of effect is increased
while the switch of loop remains turning on. Therefore, the effect should be approximately 6 dB. Upon switching the
surround and pseudo stereo to each other, be sure to turn on a switch at the stereo surround side of SSTE to prevent a
shock sound.

!Operation notes
1. We trust that an example of application circuits are recommendable and we would like to ask you to check the undermentioned notes and the characteristics carefully. If you will modify and external circuit constant upon use, you should
allow for not only static characteristics but also transient characteristics, unexpected variation of external components
and our ICs.
2. Operating power supply voltage range
Basic circuit function and operation can be guaranteed within the operating temperature range and within the operating
power supply voltage range. Upon use, check those ranges carefully and specify the content, element, voltage and
temperature.

3. Step switching noise
In an example of application circuit, an example of constant is set on VC1, VC2, TC and BC terminals. This constant
varies depending on signal level setting, actual wiring pattern, etc. Specify each constant under careful study and
examination. The internal equivalent circuit is shown below. (A primary integration circuit is set for gradual variation.)

4. Level setting of volume and tone
Attenuation to control serial data is stated as a reference value in our specifications.
An internal D/A converter is configured by the R-2R method and, therefore, there is any data also in an area in which
some data are not consecutive. Use is for fine adjustment.
However, the volume must be within 8 bits (256 steps) and the tone must be 7 bits (64+1 steps).

5. I C BUS control
High-frequency digital signal is inputted into the SCL terminal and SDA terminal. Therefore, However, wire not to
interfere any analog signal system line.
6. Power-on Reset
This IC contains a circuit for initialization when the power supply turns on. Every channel volume has been set to
become −∞ when the power supply turns on. When the power supply is turned ON once and OFF and then ON
again immediately, the said description may not be achieved if any load remains in a capacitor. In this case, apply
2
muting until a command of I C BUS has been sent.
7. Capacitor of VREF (8pin)
100µF is recommended as the capacity of power supply filter attached to VREF. If this capacity is decreased, the
maximum attenuation of volume is deteriorated and the cross-talk also tends to become worse. This IC contains
a precharge circuit and discharge circuit for capacitor attached to VREF.
!BBE process
The BBE sound processor considers a loudspeaker and amplifier as total audio system, reproduces accurately “Rise of
Sound” which characterizes the sound, by an appropriate signal processing at a stage before amplifier input, and makes
the playback sound an original one as naturally as possible.
25/27
BH3868BFS
Audio ICs
!Problem in Sound Reproduction with Audio System and BBE Process
In general, for the natural sound, treble harmonic element is generated first and then bass basic wave element is
produced. This is the same with the attack part which shows the characteristics of various musical instruments. The
amplitude element, which forms a frequency element and envelope at the rise of sound, expresses the character of the
sound. Therefore, to reproduce any sound with a playback system, it is very important to express accurately the rise of
sound against the original sound. However, there is unavoidable mismatch between a loudspeaker and amplifier of
today’s audio playback system.
For example, a power amplifier with transistor operates as constant-voltage source, but mismatch cannot be avoided
because one loudspeaker is a current element. Moreover, the impedance characteristic of loudspeaker is affected
considerably by electric reactance of voice coil or mechanical reactance of cone assembly. As a result, the rise of sound
is distorted and the phase of playback sound is deviated. Furthermore, due to the increase of treble impedance, the
loudspeaker amplitude is reduced and the harmonic element is deteriorated. So the treble element is easy to be masked
by a consequent middle tone element of high level, and the rise of sound is hard to be produced accurately.
BBE has been developed to solve those problems. BBE is a technology to reproduce the sound clearness more naturally
by moving the delayed harmonic before the basic wave first to construct the same wave as that of the natural sound and
then boosting slightly the treble which is easy to be attenuated. Because of the synergistic effect of phase correction and
treble boost, the same clearness can be obtained by approximately half boost in comparison with a simple boost of
equalizer. It has been ten years or more since BBE was introduced into many recording studios, PA, SR sites and
broadcasting stations, and 100,000 or more units of BBE for professional have been using. BBE is designated by many
musicians to improve the sound of vocal and musical instruments.
!Principle of Operation
To solve the problems in audio playback system mentioned in the previous page, the BBE processor processes a signal
as follows:
!Phase Correction
Bass
20
Middle
150
Treble
2.4k
20k
f (Hz)
By dividing the input signal to three frequency bands, “Bass” (20 to 150 Hz), “Middle” (150Hz to 2.4kHz) and “Treble”
(2.4k to 20kHz), and by adding them again, the phase difference −360° in Treble and −180° in Middle against Base are
generated. These phase differences adjusts the time delay characteristic in every frequency band and minimizes the
distortion of the rise of sound.
!Revision of harmonic element
Gain is applied to Treble, because the harmonic element (Treble element), of which gain is expected to be deteriorated
depending on the loudspeaker characteristic, must be enhanced. However, if Treble is clear, it may seem that Bass is
insufficient. This can be corrected by applying the gain to Bass.
There are many audio system characteristics. The most suitable correction effect for your system can be obtained by
BBE.
