ROHM BD3870FS

Sound Processors for BOOM BOX / Mini-component Stereo
Sound Processors
with Built-in 2-band Equalizers
BD3870FS,BD3871FS,BD3872FS,BD3873FS
No.10086EAT02
●Description
The Sound Processor with built-in 2 Band Equalizer, incorporates functions required for BOOM BOX and mini-component
systems, such as input selector, input gain amp, volume, surround, tone (bass, treble), and loud speaker equalizer
(BD3872FS only). These functions can be controlled through the two-wire serial control.
●Features
1) Using external components, center frequencies and Q factors of the bass characteristics are flexible.
2) Providing a mute switch onto one of the input pins allows cross-talk suppression.
3) A surround function can be constructed without external components.
4) Energy-saving design resulting in low current consumption, by utilizing the BiCMOS process
●Applications
BOOM BOX, mini-audio systems, and micro-audio systems.
●Line up matrix

1) Sound generation using Loud Speaker Equalizer (BD3872FS)
Using external components, one of the following two functions can be established; one having an effect to localize the
vocal forward and enhance it (Loud Speaker Equalizer) and the other having an effect to clarify the vocal quality and
improve the Articulation Index (Cinema Surround). Those characteristic values can be adjusted by choosing the external
components with desirable constants. Details of above two functions are described below:
◎Cinema Surround
Constructing the external components as shown below allows the vocals to be moved forward and enhanced.
Surround effect with enhanced vocal is achieved by turning on the built-in surround simultaneously.
Merging this effect, while playing movies on a DVD player, will make vocal listening clearer and surround effect
more impactful.

◎Loud Speaker Equalizer (SEQ)
BOOM BOX and Micro-sound systems are often restricted to using small-diameter speakers because of location space.
These speakers, where the vocal range are attenuated, may give an impression of having a muffled vocal sound
with respect to its audibility. Using the Loud Speaker Equalizer, the vocal quality which degrades in small-diameter
speakers, can be improved and the Articulation Index is also increased.

●Notes for use
1) Numbers and data in entries are representative design values and are not guaranteed values of the items.
2) Although ROHM is confident that the example application circuit reflects the best possible recommendations, be sure to
verify circuit characteristics for your particular application. Modification of constants for other externally connected circuits
may cause variations in both static and transient characteristics for external components as well as this Rohm IC. Allow for
sufficient margins when determining circuit constants.
3) Absolute maximum ratings
Use of the IC in excess of absolute maximum ratings, such as the applied voltage or operating temperature range (Topr),
may result in IC damage. Assumptions should not be made regarding the state of the IC (short mode or open mode) when
such damage is suffered. A physical safety measure, such as a fuse, should be implemented when using the IC at times
where the absolute maximum ratings may be exceeded.
4) GND potential
Ensure a minimum GND pin potential in all operating conditions. Make sure that no pins are at a voltage below the GND at
any time, regardless of whether it is a transient signal or not.
5) Thermal design
Perform thermal design, in which there are adequate margins, by taking into account the permissible dissipation (Pd) in
actual states of use.
6) Short circuit between terminals and erroneous mounting
Pay attention to the assembly direction of the ICs. Wrong mounting direction or shorts between terminals, GND, or other
components on the circuits, can damage the IC.
7) Operation in strong electromagnetic field
Using the ICs in a strong electromagnetic field can cause operation malfunction.
8) Power-ON RESET
A built-in circuit for performing initialization inside the IC at power-ON is provided. In unstable systems it is recommended
that the data shall be sent to all the addresses during power-ON, until this operation cycle is completed. Mute should be
applied during this cycle.

9) 2-wire serial control
For the CL and DA terminals, the patterned and other wirings should be routed as not to cause interference with the
analog-signal-related lines.
10) Switching between functions
Shock sound is absorbed when switching between the volume, bass, and treble functions.
11) Input coupling capacitor
As described in the figure below, low frequency characteristics are determined depending on the external capacitor value
for input coupling, and the input impedance value inside the IC.

12) Switching noise
For Surround and Loud Speaker Equalizer (BD3872FS only), external capacitor C is attached to the CAP pin as a measures
to control the switching noise. In the application circuit, a constant value as an example, is indicated by the CAP pin.
The time constant, which is used to charge/discharge the external capacitor C (varying between Vbe to 5Vbe (2.65V)) on
the CAP pin, controls the soft switching operation. The switching time constant T is stated as T=2.55×105×C.
Vbe has a temperature characteristic and may affect the time constant T.
13) Input Selector and Input Gain
When setting/changing Input Selector or Input Gain, the soft switching operation does not function and therefore noise is
not controlled. For this reason, it is recommended to provide a mute circuit constructed of the external components for the
set design.
