CONFIDENTIAL [AK4201] = Preliminary = AK4201 Stereo Cap-less HP-Amp GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AK4201 is an audio stereo cap-less headphone amplifier. The AK4201 eliminates the need for large DC-blocking capacitors with a built-in Charge-pump circuit. The PSRR (Power supply Rejection Ratio) can achieve to 100dB with a built-in regulator, and it can output 2Vrms with excellent linearity when used as lineout amplifier. The AK4201 is available in tiny 12-pin USON (2.2 X 2.9mm), saving board space, cost, and component height.

Power-down Timing Rev 0.2 2008/07 -8- CONFIDENTIAL [AK4201] OPERATION OVERVIEW ■ Charge Pump Circuit The charge pump operates by the output of a regulator which uses PVDD voltage. The negative power supply (PVEE) for headphone amplifiers is generated from internal charge pump circuit. The external capacitors are showed in Figure 3. Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitors (more than –35% difference including temperature characteristics and piece to piece variations) are recommended for C1 and C2. Headphone-amp negative voltage PVEE pin C1: 1uF CN pin VSS1 Charge Pump Circuit C2: 1uF CP pin Figure 3. Charge Pump Circuit External Capacitor ■ Headphone-Amp (LOUT/ROUT pins) Power supply voltage for headphone amplifiers is supplied by a regulator for positive power and a charge-pump for negative power. The positive power supply for Charge pump is generated from the output of a regulator which is driven by PVDD. The headphone amplifier output is single-ended and centered on VSS1(0V). Therefore, a capacitor for AC-coupling can be removed. The minimum load resistance is 16Ω. The output impedance is 20Ω (typ) when powered-down. Rev 0.2 2008/07 -9- CONFIDENTIAL [AK4201] ■ Power-Up/Down Sequence The PDN pin must keep “L” until all power supply pins (AVDD, PVDD) are supplied, and must be set to “H” after all powers are supplied. Power Supply (1) Former Device DAC etc Power Up (No Signal Output) Don’t Care Ta (2) Former Device Click noise Normal Operation Don’t Care (4) A 0V PDN pin 0V PVEE pin HPL/HPR pins (5) (3) 0V PVEE pin Output =-3.3V(Typ.) 0V Normal Operation(0V Common) 0V Figure 4. Power-up/down Sequence example (1) The interval from power Up to PDN pin = “L” → “H” “L” time of 150ns or more is needed to reset the AK4201. The power should be ON in state of the PDN pin = “L”. The PDN pin should be set to “H” after power supply (AVDD, PVDD) are ON. (2) The interval from former device of the AK4201(DAC etc) power up to the PDN pin = “L” → “H” The former device of the AK4201 should be powered up with no output (MUTE). When step wave which generated by former device is output (an instant change of DC offset), HPF response wave will occur at “A” period of the Figure 4, according to the AK4201 input coupling condenser (Ci) and input resistor (Ri). In order to avoid click noise, “Ta” wait time is needed after former device output. Ta calculation example: (in the case of Ci =0.22uF, Ri = 20kΩ) τ=0.22u * 20k = 4.4ms Ta =τ* 7.6 = 33ms (When noise level by former device= 2V, response wave level= 1mV. 7.6*τ is needed) If waiting time is not sufficient, click noise maybe occur, but no problem for later working. (3) 50ms (max.) later, after the PDN pin went to “H”, the AK4201 will be in normal operation mode and click noise is decreased. In this interval (50ms), the former device should be MUTE. (4) The former device should starts outputting the signal after the AK4201 starts Normal Operation. If click noise is generated by former device when MUTE is canceled, it will be output from the AK4201. (5) The PDN pin = “L”. LOUT/ROUT pins short to VSS1 with 20Ω(typ.). After 50ms (max.), the PVEE pin will be 0V according to a capacitor which connected to PVEE and internal resistance (typ. 17.5kΩ). The AK4201 can be powered up again after 150ns or more from the PDN = “L”.

The PDN pin should be held to “L” when powered-up. The PDN pin should be set to “H” after all power supplies are powered-up. When power-down the AK4201, the PDN pin should be held to “L”. Refer to “Power-Up/Down Sequence” to avoid pop noise when power-up/down the AK4201. 1) Power-Up The power should be ON when the PDN pin = “L”. The PDN pin should be set to “H” 150ns after all power supplies (AVDD, PVDD) are ON. 150ns “L” time or more is needed to reset the AK4201. 2) Power-Down The AK4201 should be powered-down when the PDN pin = “L”. 2. 1uF~2.2uF ceramic capacitors (±35% including temperature characteristics and piece-to-piece variations)should be connected to between the Cp and Cn pins, and the VSS1 and PVEE1 pins. 3. Both lines from the LIN pin and RIN pin to each Input resistance Ri and feedback resistance Rf should be short as possible. 4. A capacitor should be connected to the each LIN and RIN pin for AC coupling.
