NAU8224Datasheet Rev 1.0 Page 10 of 27 Aug, 2012 6.1.1 2-Wire-Serial Control and Data Bus (I 2C Style Interface) The serial interface provides a 2-wire bidirectiona l read/write data interface similar to and typicall y compatible with standard I2C protocol. This protocol defines any d evice that sends CLK onto the bus as a master, and the receiving device as slave. The NAU8224 can function only as a slave device. An external clock drives the device, and in accorda nce with the protocol, data is sent to or from the device accordingly. All functions are controlled by means of a register control interface in the device. 6.1.2 2-Wire Protocol Convention All 2-Wire interface operations must begin with a S TART condition, which is a HIGH-to-LOW transition o f SDIO while SCLK is HIGH. All 2-Wire interface operations are terminated by a STOP condition, which is a LOW to H IGH transition of SDIO while SCLK is HIGH. A STOP cond ition at the end of a read or write operation place s the serial interface in standby mode. An acknowledge (ACK), is a software convention is u sed to indicate a successful data transfer. The t ransmitting device releases the SDIO bus after transmitting eight bits to allow for the ACK response. During the ninth c lock cycle, the receiver pulls the SDIO line LOW to acknowledge the reception of the eight bits of data. Following a START condition, the master must output a device address byte. This consists of a 7-bit d evice address, and the LSB of the device address byte is the R/W (Read /Write) control bit. When R/W= 1, this indicates t he master is initiating a read operation from the slave device, and when R/W=0, the master is initiating a write op eration to the slave device. If the device address matches the address of the slave device, the slave will output an ACK d uring the period when the master allows for the ACK signal.

A Write operation requi res a START condition, followed by a valid device address byte with R/W= 0, a valid control address byte, data byt e, and a STOP condition. The NAU8224 is permanently programmed with “ 010 1010 ” (0x2A) as the Device Address. If the Device Addr ess matches this value, the NAU8224 will respond with t he expected ACK signaling as it accepts the data be ing transmitted into it. Write Sequence 6.1.4 2-Wire Single Read Operation A Read operation consists of a three-byte Write ins truction followed by a Read instruction of data by te. The bus master initiates the operation issuing the following seque nce: a START condition, device address byte with t he R/W bit set to “0”, and a Control Register Address byte. This ind icates to the slave device which of its control reg isters is to be accessed. The NAU8224 is permanently programmed with “010 101 0” (0x2A) as its device address. If the device addr ess matches this value, the NAU8224 will respond with the expec ted ACK signaling as it accepts the Control Registe r Address being transmitted into it. After this, the master transm its a second START condition, and a second instanti ation of the same device address, but now with R/W=1. After again recognizing its device address, the NAU 8224 transmits an ACK, followed by a one byte value containing the data from the selected control register inside the NAU8224. During this phase, the master generates th e ACK signaling with byte transferred from the NAU8224.

At these speeds, the t otal bus line capacitance load is required to be 400 pF or less. Open collector drivers are required for the serial interface. Therefore, the bus line rise time is det ermined by the total serial bus capacitance and the VDD pull-up resistors. The NAU8224 defaults to a weak pull up (typical 50 k ohm) for applications with no external pull up resistor.

6.4 Device Protection
The NAU8224 includes device protection for three op erating scenarios. They are 1. Thermal Overload 2. Short circuit 3. Supply under voltage
6.4.1 Thermal Overload Protection
When the device internal junction temperature reaches 130°C, the NAU8224 will disable the output drive rs. When the device cools down and a safe operating temperature of 115°C has been reached for at least about 47ms, the output drivers will be enabled again.
6.4.2 Short Circuit Protection
If a short circuit is detected on any of the pull-up or pull-down devices on the output drivers for at least 14µs, the output drivers will be disabled for 47ms. The output drivers will then be enabled again and check for the sho rt circuit. If the
NAU8224Datasheet Rev 1.0 Page 14 of 27 Aug, 2012 short circuit is still present, the output drivers are disabled after 14µs. This cycle will continue u ntil the short circuit is removed. The short circuit threshold is set at 2.1A.
6.4.3 Supply under Voltage Protection
If the supply voltage drops under 2.1V, the output drivers will be disabled while the NAU8224 control circuitry still operates. This will avoid the battery supply to drag down too low before the host processor can safely shut down the devices on the system. If the supply drops further below 1.0V the internal power on reset activated and puts the entire device in power down state.
6.5 Power up and Power down Control
When the supply voltage ramps up, the internal power on reset circuit gets triggered. At this time all internal circuits will be set to power down state. The device can be enabled by setting the EN pin high. Upon setting the EN pin high, the device will go through an internal power up sequence in order to minimize ‘pops’ on the speaker output . The complete power up sequence will take about 3.4ms. The device will power down in about 30µs, when the EN pin is set low. It is important to keep the input signal at zero amplitude or enable the mute condition in order to minimize the ‘pops’ when the EN pin is toggled.

8.2 Component selection
An ac coupling capacitor (C in ) is used to block the dc content from the input source. The input resistance of the amplifier (R in ) together with the C in will act as a high pass filter. So depending on the required cut off frequency the C in can be calculated by using the following formula /g1829 /g3036/g3041 /g3404 /uni0031/uni002F/uni0032/g2024/g1844/g3036/g3041 /g1858/g3030 Where /g1858/g3030 is the desired cut off frequency of the High pass filter. Bypass Capacitors Bypass capacitors are required to remove the ac ripple on the VDD pins. The value of these capacitors depends on the length of the VDD trace. In most cases, 10uF and 0.1uF are enough to get the good performance.
8.3 Layout considerations
The NAU8224 QFN package uses an exposed pad on the bottom side of the package to dissipate excess power from the output drivers. This pad must be soldered carefully to the PCB for proper operation of the NAU8224. Th is pad is internally connected to Vss. A typical layout is shown below.
NAU8224Datasheet Rev 1.0 Page 23 of 27 Aug, 2012 The PCB has to be designed in such a manner that it should have nine vias in 3x3 grid under NAU8224. T he vias should have hole size of 12mil and a spacing of 30mils. The pad size of the vias is 24mils. The vias on the top side of the board should be connected with a copper pour that has an area of 2mm x 2mm, centered underneath the NAU8224. The nine vias should connect to copper pour area on the bottom of the PCB. It is preferred to pour the complete bottom side of the board with Vss. Also good PCB layout and grounding techniques are essential to get the good audio performance. It is better to use low resistance traces as these devices are driving low impedance loads. The resistance of the traces has a significant effect on the output power delivered to the load. In order to dissipate more heat, use wide traces for the power and ground lines.
8.4 Class D without filter
The NAU8224 is designed for use without any filter on the output line. That means the outputs can be directly connected to the speaker in the simplest configuration. This type of filter less design is suitable for portable applications where the speaker is very close to the amplifier. In other words, this is preferable in applications where the l ength of the traces between the speaker and amplifier is short. The following diagram shows this simple configuration.

8.5 Class D with filter
In some applications, the shorter trace lengths are not possible because of speaker size limitations a nd other layout reasons. In these applications, the long traces will cause EMI issues. There are two types of filter circuits available to reduce the EMI effects. These are ferrite bead and LC filters. Ferrite Bead filter The ferrite bead filters are used to reduce the high frequency emissions. The typical circuit diagram is shown in the figure. 1nF 1 nF Ferrite Bead Ferrite Bead OUTLP OUTLN NAU8224 outputs connected to speaker with Ferrite Bead filter
NAU8224Datasheet Rev 1.0 Page 24 of 27 Aug, 2012 The characteristic of ferrite bead is such that it offers higher impedance at high frequencies. For be tter EMI performance select ferrite bead which offers highest impedance at high frequencies, so that it will attenuate the signals at higher frequencies. Usually the ferrite beads have low impedance in the audio range, so it will act as a pass through filter in the audio frequency range. LC filter The LC filter is used to suppress the low frequency emissions. The following diagram shows the NAU8224 outputs connected to the speaker with LC filter circuit. R L is the resistance of the speaker coil.

8.6 NAU8224 EMI performance
The NAU8224 includes a spread spectrum oscillator f or reduced EMI. The PWM oscillator frequency typica lly sweeps in a range of 300 kHz +/- 15 kHz in order to spread the energy of the PWM pulses over a larger frequency band. In addition, slew rate control on the output drivers allows the application of ‘filter less’ loads, while suppressing EMI at high frequencies. The below graph shows the EMI per formance of NAU8224 with ferrite beads and speaker cable length of 30cm.
