FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
BUS INTERFACE
Data are transmitted to and from the microprocessor to the PT2258 via the SDA and SCL. The SDA and SCL make up
the BUS Interface. It should be noted that the pull-up resistors must be connected to the positive supply voltage.
DATA VALIDITY
A data on the SDA Line is considered valid and stable only when the SCL Signal is in HIGH State. The HIGH and LOW
States of the SDA Line can only change when the SCL signal is LOW. Please refer to the figure below.
START AND STOP CONDITIONS
A Start Condition is activated when
1) the SCL is set to HIGH and
2) SDA shifts from HIGH to LOW State.
The Stop Condition is activated when
1) SCL is set to HIGH and
2) SDA shifts from LOW to HIGH State.
Please refer to the timing diagram below.
BYTE FORMAT
Every byte transmitted to the SDA Line consists of 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an Acknowledge Bit. The MSB
is transmitted first.
V1.3

PT2258
ACKNOWLEDGE
During the Acknowledge Clock Pulse, the master (µP) puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA Line. The peripheral
(audio processor) that acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the Acknowledge Clock Pulse so that
the SDA Line is in a Stable Low State during this Clock Pulse. Please refer to the diagram below.
The audio processor that has been addressed has to generate an Acknowledge after receiving each byte, otherwise, the
SDA Line will remain at the High Level during the ninth (9th) Clock Pulse. In this case, the master transmitter can
generate the STOP Information in order to abort the transfer.
TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGE
If you want to avoid the acknowledge detection of the audio processor, a simpler µP transmission may be used. Wait
one clock and do not check the slave acknowledge of this same clock then send the new data. If you use this approach,
there are greater chances of faulty operation as well as decrease in noise immunity.
INTERFACE PROTOCOL
The interface protocol consists of the following:
 A Start bit
 A Chip Address Byte
 ACK=Acknowledge bit
 A Data byte
 A Stop bit
Please refer to the diagram below:
Notes:
1. ACK = ACKNOWLEDGE
2. MAX. CLOCK SPEED = 100K BITS/S

PT2258 ADDRESS CODE
PT2258 Address Code depends on the state of CODE1 (Pin No.17) and CODE2 (Pin No.4).
If CODE1 or CODE2 is connected to Vcc, then CODE1 or CODE2 is set to “1”. If CODE1 or CODE2 is connected to the
Ground, it is set to “0”. Please refer to the information below:

I2C BUS INTERFACE START TIME
After Power is turned ON, PT2258 needs to wait for a short time in order to insure stability. The waiting time period for
2
2
PT2258 to send I C Bus Signal is at least 200ms. If the waiting time period is less than 200ms, I C Control may fail.
Please refer to the diagram below.

PT2258 CONTROL SOFTWARE PROCEDURE
1. In order to ensure exact operation under any operating voltage, it is recommended an instruction to clear the register
“C0H” must be transmitted first. Please refer to the following diagram:

2258 Address

Ack

Clear Register

Stop
2. The PT2258 function register does not have any default settings. After clearing the register, an initial value must send
in order to each register. If a register does has not been set, it is possible that no sound will be output.
3. When adjusting the volume of PT2258, it is necessary to send a multiple of 10dB followed by a 1dB code to the
attenuator in sequence. If this sequence is not followed, or if only a 10dB or 1dB value is sent, the IC may not operate
normally. Please refer to the diagram below:
Volume setting -42dB:
