LMC1992 Digitally-Controlled Stereo Tone and Volume
Circuit with Four-Channel Input-Selector
General Description
Features
The LMC1992 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides
four stereo inputs, bass and treble tone controls, and volume, balance, and front-rear fader controls. These functions
are digitally controlled through a three-wire communication
interface. All of the LMC1992s functions are achieved with
only three external capacitors per channel. It is designed for
line level input signals (300 mV b 2V) and has a maximum
gain of 0 dB.
The internal design is optimized for external capacitors having values of 0.1 mF or less. This allows the use of chip
capacitors for coupling and tone control functions.
Low noise and distortion result from using analog switches
and thin-film silicon-chromium resistor networks in the signal path.
Volume and fader are at minimum and tone controls are flat
when supply voltage is first applied.
Additional tone control can be achieved using the LMC835
stereo 7-band graphic equalizer connected to the
LMC1992’s select-out/select-in external processor loop.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are specified with respect to ground.
Note 3: When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supply voltages (VIN k Vb or VIN l V a ) the absolute value of the current at that pin should be
limited to 5 mA or less. The 20 mA package input current limits the number of pins that can exceed the power supply voltages with 5 mA current limit to four.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, wJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is PD e (TJMAX b TA)/iJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LMC1992CCN, TJMAX

Pin Description
DATA(1)
CLOCK(2)
REAR OUT
(13, 17)
This is the serial data input for communications sent by a controller. The data rate has a
maximum frequency of 500 kHz. The
LMC1992 requires 11 bits of data to control
or change a function: the first two bits, a 1
and 0, select the LMC1992, the next three
bits select a function, and the final six bits set
the function to a desired value. The data
must be valid on the rising edge of the
CLOCK input signal.
The CLOCK input accepts a TTL or CMOS
level clocking signal. The input is used to
clock the DATA input signal and determines
when a data bit is valid.
This pin’s output signal is intended for the
rear amplifiers in a four speaker stereo system. The output can typically sink 350 mA.
FRONT OUT This pin’s output signal is intended for the
(14, 16)
front amplifiers in a four speaker stereo system. The output can typically sink 350 mA.
GROUND
(15)
This is the system ground connection.
V a (28)
This is the power supply connection. The
LMC1992 is operational with supply voltages
from 6V to 12V. It is recommended that this
pin is bypassed with 0.1 mF capacitor.
BYPASS (27) A 10 mF capacitor is connected between this
pin and ground.
ENABLE(3)
This input accepts a logic low signal when a
controller is addressing the LMC1992. When
ENABLE is active, the LMC1992 responds to
input signals present on the DATA and
CLOCK inputs.
INPUT 1 – 4 Four two-channel analog inputs are available
(4 – 7, 23 – 26) on the LMC1992. These pins should be dc-biased to mid-supply.
SELECT OUT The selected INPUT signal is available at this
(8, 22)
output. This feature allows the use of external
signal processing such as noise reduction or
graphic equalizers. This output can typically
sink 1 mA.
SELECT IN This is the input that an external signal proc(9, 21)
essor uses to return a signal to the LMC1992.
TONE IN
This is the input to the tone control amplifier.
(10, 20)
See the Application Information section titled
‘‘Tone Control Response’’.
TONE OUT Tone control amplifier output. See the Appli(11, 19)
cation Information section titled ‘‘Tone Control Response’’.
OP AMP OUT This output is used externally with the tone
(12, 18)
control capacitors. Internally, this output is
applied to the volume attenuators.
General Information
The LMC1992 is a CMOS/bipolar high quality building block
intended for high fidelity audio signal processing. It is designed for line level input signals (300 mV b 2V) and has a
maximum gain of b1 dB. While the LMC1992 is manufactured with CMOS processing, NPN transistors are used to
build low noise op amps. The combination of CMOS
switches, bipolar op amps, and SiCr resistors make it possible to achieve an order of magnitude quality improvement
over other bipolar circuits that use analog multipliers to accomplish gain adjustment.
The LMC1992 has internal decoding logic that allows a
computer (mP) to communicate directly to the audio control
circuitry through a standard MICROWIRE interface. This
three-wire interface consists of a DATA input line, a CLOCK
input line, and an ENABLE line. When the ENABLE line is
low, data can be serially shifted from the controller to the
LMC1992. As the ENABLE line goes through the low-tohigh transition, any additional data is ignored. Data present
in the internal shift register is latched and the instruction is
executed.
Figure 1 shows the connection diagram of a typical
LMC1992 application.

Applications Information
MINIMUM LOAD IMPEDANCE
The LMC1992 employs emitter-follower buffers at pins 8
and 22 (SELECT OUT), 13 and 14 (LEFT FRONT and
REAR OUTPUTs), and 16 and 17 (RIGHT FRONT-andREAR OUTPUTs) that buffer output signals. Typical bias
current of 1 mA is used for the SELECT OUTPUT buffers
and 350 mA for the LEFT-and-RIGHT, FRONT-and-REAR
OUTPUT buffers.
The Electrical Specifications table lists a maximum input signal of 2.3 Vrms (3.25 Vpeak) for 1% THD at the SELECT
OUT pins. This distortion level is achieved when the minimum ac load impedance seen by the SELECT OUT pin is
3.25 kX (3.25V/1 mA). For the LEFT-and-RIGHT, FRONTand-REAR OUTPUTs, the typical maximum output is 1.2
Vrms (1.55 Vpeak). Therefore, the minimum load impedance
is 4.43 kX (1.55 V/0.35 mA). Trying to use a lower impedance results in a clipped output signal. Therefore, the
chance of clipping can be greatly reduced and much lower
distortion levels can be achieved by using load impedances
that are an order of magnitude higher than shown here.
TL/H/10789 – 20
FIGURE 2. Input Bias Network
To allow for variations and part tolerances, 10 kX is a good
choice for this minimum dc load impedance.
INPUT IMPEDANCE
For ac coupled input signals the input impedance value is
determined by bias resistor R1, as shown in Figure 2. A
directly coupled input signal will see an emitter follower’s
nominal input impedance of 2 MX.
The SELECT IN pins have an input impedance that varies
with the BASS and TREBLE control settings. The input impedance is 96 kX at dc and 27 kX at 1 kHz when the controls are set at 0 dB. Minimum input impedance of 28 kX at
dc and 24 kX at 1 kHz occurs when maximum boost is
selected. At 10 kHz the minimum input impedance, with the
tone controls flat, is 8 kX and, with the tone controls at
maximum boost, is 3 kX.
For applications that require dc coupling and the INPUTs
biased to V a /2, the minimum load impedance will differ
from that detailed in the above discussion. The emitter followers may be potentially operating at high currents because there is a dc voltage V a /2 b 0.7V at the SELECT
OUT pins; dc resistance to ground will result in increased
current flow. Latch-up may occur if the total emitter current
exceeds 5 mA. This current is a combination of the emitter
follower’s 1 mA current source and 4 mA drawn by the external load. Therefore, to prevent this possibility, the minimum dc load impedance should be
Vpeak a (V a /2 b 0.7V)
e 1638X
4 mA
Vpeak e 3.25V
V a e 8V
To allow for variations and part tolerances, 2.0 kX is a good
choice for this minimum dc load impedance.
When dc coupling is used at the LEFT-and-RIGHT, FRONTand-REAR OUTPUTs, the output emitter followers will be
operating at a nominal dc voltage of V a /2 b 2(0.7V).
Latch-up may occur if the total emitter current exceeds
1 mA. This current is a combination of the emitter follower’s
0.35 mA current source and 0.65 mA drawn by the external
load. Therefore, to prevent this possibility, the minimum dc
load impedance should be
Vpeak a (V a /2 b 2(0.7V))
e 9 kX
0.65 mA
Vpeak e 3.25V
V a e 8V
STEREO SIGNAL INPUTS
When operating with a single supply voltage, the stereo signal inputs must be dc biased to one-half of the supply voltage, as shown in Figure 2. As an example, with a supply
voltage of 8V, all signal sources should have a dc bias of
4V. The maximum input signal level of 6.5 Vp-p (for 1%
THD) would then swing from 0.75V to 7.25V. Input-to-input
crosstalk can be minimized by using a separate dc bias circuit for each stereo input pair.
EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
The signal present at the selected input will be available at
the SELECT OUT pins 8 (left) and 22 (right). The dc bias
voltage at those pins will be one base-emitter voltage, approximately 0.7 Vdc, below the source because of the internal emitter follower. Therefore, if the selected input has a
bias of 4.0 Vdc the dc component at pins 8 and 22 will be
about 3.3 Vdc.
The LMC1992’s SELECT OUT emitter followers allow additional signal sources using emitter follower outputs (such as
multiple LMC1992s) to be ‘‘wired-ORed’’ together. When
this feature is in use, the input channel of the LMC1992 not
in use should be set to ‘‘open’’ input codes 01000XX0000 or
01000XX011X.

Reduction (LM1894) and Equalizer (LMC835) (One Channel OnlyÐLMC1992)
The typical tone control response shown in the Typical Performance Curves were generated with C2 e C3 e
0.0082 mF and show the response for each step. When
modifying the tone control response it is important to note
that the ratio of C3 and C2 sets the mid-frequency gain.
Symmetrical tone response is achieved when C2 e C3.
However, with C2 e 2(C3) and the tone controls set to
‘‘flat’’, the frequency response will be flat at 20 Hz and 20
kHz, and a 6 dB at 1 kHz.
The frequency where a tone control begins to deviate from
a flat response will be referred to as the turn-over frequency. With C e C2 e C3, the LMC1992’s treble turn-over
frequency is nominally
The SELECT OUT pins (8 and 22) enable greater system
design flexibility by providing a means to implement an external processing loop. This loop can be used for noise reduction circuits such as DNR (LM1894) or mulit-band graphic equalizers (LMC835). It is important to ensure that if both
are used, the noise reduction circuitry precede the equalization circuits. Failure to do so will result in improper operation
of the noise reduction circuits. The system shown in Figure
3 utilizes the external loop to include DNR and a multi-band
equalizer.
AUDIO MUTE
A mute function with attenuation of 100 dB is possible with
the volume control set to b80 dB and the INPUT select
code set to 01000XX0000 (open circuit).

TONE CONTROL RESPONSE
Base and treble tone controls are included in the LMC1992.
The tone controls use just two external capacitors for each
stereo channel. Each has a corner frequency determined by
the value of C2 and C3 (Figure 4) and internal resistors in
the feedback loop of the internal tone amplifier. The maximum amplitude boost or cut is determined by the data sent
to the LMC1992 (see Table I).

SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
Figure 5 shows the LMC1992’s timing diagram for its three
wire MICROWIRE interface. A controller’s data stream can
be any length; once the correct device address is received
by the LMC1992, any number of data bits can be sent; the
last nine bits occurring before ENABLE goes high are used
by the LMC1992. The first two bits in a valid data stream are
decoded and used as device address bits. The LMC1992
uses a unique address of 1,0. The LMC1992 will not respond to information on the DATA line if any other address
is used. This allows other MICROWIRE serially programmable devices to share the same three-wire communication
bus. When ENABLE goes high, any further serial data is
ignored and the contents of the shift register is transferred
to the data latches. Only when information is received by
the data latches do any function or setting changes take
place. The first three of nine bits select one of the
LMC1992s functions. The remaining six bits set the selected function to the desired value or position.
A data bit is accepted as valid and clocked into an internal
shift register on each rising edge of the signal appearing at
the LMC1992s CLOCK input pin. Proper data interpretation
and operation is ensured when ENABLE makes its falling
transition during the time when CLOCK is low. Erroneous
operation will result if the ENABLE signal makes its falling
transition at any other time.
TL/H/10789 – 22
FIGURE 4. The Tone Control Amplifier
Increasing the values of C2 and C3 decreases the turnover
and inflection frequencies: i.e., the Tone Control Response
Curves shown in Typical Performance Curves will shift left
when C2 and C3 are increased and shift right when C2 and
C3 are decreased. With C2 e C3 e 0.0082, 2 dB steps are
achieved at 100 Hz and 10 kHz. Changing C2 and C3 to
0.01 mF shifts the 2 dB per step frequency to 72 Hz and 8.3
kHz. If the tone control capacitors’ size is decreased these
frequencies will increase. With C2 e C3 e 0.0068 mF the 2
dB steps take place at 130 Hz and 11.2 kHz.
FADER FUNCTION
The four fader functions are all independently adjustable
and therefore no balance control is needed. Emulating a
balance control is accomplished through software by simultaneously changing a channel’s front and rear faders by
equal amounts. To satisfy normal balance requirements the
faders have an attenuation range of 40 dB.
TL/H/10789 – 21
Note 1: Negative transition on ENABLE clears previous address. Clock must be low during transition.
Note 2: Additional don’t care states may be inserted here for ease of programming. (Optional.)
Note 3: Positive transition on ENABLE latches in new data if the LMC1992 has been addressed. Clock can either be high or low during transition.

XX0110 (0 dB) to XX1100 ( a 12 dB). The code for the FADERs starts from X00000 (b40 dB) and goes to X1010X
(0 dB).
The table shows that VOLUME is the only function that uses
all six bits to choose that function’s setting. The remaining
functions use less than six bits; the unused bits are shown
as ‘‘X’’s (‘‘don’t care’’). While these ‘‘don’t care’’ bits have
no effect on their respective function, the LMC1992 must
receive them for proper operation. If neglected, erroneous
or unknown results will occur.
SERIAL DATA FORMAT
Table I displays the required data format needed by the
LMC1992. Not shown is the 2-bit device address (10).
These two bits of information must precede the final ninebits used as the data word. The first three of these nine bits
is the function address.
The VOLUME, TONE, and FADER controls are designed to
increment their settings (in 2 dB steps) as the control data is
incremented by one LSB. Disregarding the device address
and the function address, the VOLUME input code increases from 000000 (b80 dB) to 10100X (0 dB). The TONE

DATA TRANSFER EXAMPLE
DATA TRANSFER ROUTINE 2
The following routines, based on the flowchart shown in Figure 6, are examples of COPSTM microcontroller instruction
code that can be used to control the LMC1992 (see National Semiconductor’s COPS Microcontrollers Databook for
more information). These routines arbitrarily select COPS
register 0 for I/O purposes. When these routines are entered, it is assumed that chip select is high, SK (clock) is
low, and SO (data) is low. These routines exit with chip select high and SK and SO low. Output port G0 is arbitrarily
chosen to send the chip select signal to the LMC1992.
The 11 data bits needed to control the LMC1992 are assumed to be in the 4-bit registers, 13–15, with the 4 MSBs
in register 13. With this configuration there is an extra bit for
a data stream that is 12 bits long. As previously mentioned,
there can be any number of extra bits between the device
address and the function address.
This routine performs the same function as routine 1 while
preserving the contents of the data registers. This routine
takes only 21 ROM memory locations.

DATA TRANSFER ROUTINE 1
This general purpose routine handles all the overhead except loading data into registers 13–15. It sends the data
according to the conditions discussed above. The data will
be lost at the conclusion of the routine. This routine consumes only 17 ROM memory locations.
