DESCRIPTION
The LM4931 is an integrated audio subsystem that
supports voice and digital audio functions. The
LM4931 includes a high quality stereo DAC, voice
band codec, a stereo headphone amplifier and a
high-power high efficiency mono speaker amplifier. It
is primarily designed for demanding applications in
mobile phones and other portable devices.
The LM4931 features an I2S serial interface for full
range audio, a 16-bit PCM bi-directional serial
interface for the voice band codec and an I2C/SPI
compatible interface for control. The full range music
path features an SNR of 86dB with an 18-bit 48kHz
input. The headphone amplifier delivers at least
26mWRMS to a 32Ω single-ended stereo load with
less than 1% distortion (THD+N) when AVDD =
3.3VDC. The mono speaker amplifier delivers up to
570mWRMS into an 8Ω load with less than 1%
distortion when AVDD = 3.3VDC.
(1)
Best operation is achieved by maintaining 3.0V ≤ AVDD ≤ 5.0
and 3.0V ≤ DVDD ≤ 3.6V and AVDD ≥ DVDD.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The LM4931 employs advanced techniques to reduce power consumption, to reduce controller overhead, and to
eliminate click and pop. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output
power with a minimal amount of external components. It is therefore ideally suited for mobile phone and other
low voltage applications where minimal power consumption, PCB area, and cost are primary requirements.

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 ensure specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not ensured for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
All voltages are measured with respect to the relevant GND pin unless otherwise specified. All grounds should be coupled as close as
possible to the device.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX ,θJA, and the ambient temperature,
TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX – TA) / θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings,
whichever is lower. For the LM4931, see power derating currents for more information.
Human body model: 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Machine model: 220pF - 240pF discharged through all pins.

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 ensure specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not ensured for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
All voltages are measured with respect to the relevant GND pin unless otherwise specified. All grounds should be coupled as close as
possible to the device.
Typicals are measured at 25°C and represent the parametric norm.
Limits are ensured to TI’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Digital shutdown current is measured with system clock set for PLL output while the PLL is disabled.
Disabling or bypassing the PLL will result in an improvement in noise measurements.

System Control
The LM4931 is controlled via either a three wire SPI or a two wire I2C compatible interface, selectable with the
MODE pin When MODE is cleared the device is in I2C mode, when MODE is set the device is in SPI mode. This
interface is used to configure the operating mode, interfaces, data converters, mixers and amplifiers. The
LM4931 is controlled by writing 8 bit data into a series of write-only registers, the device is always a slave for
both type of interfaces.

When the part is configured as an SPI device and the enable (ENB) line is lowered the serial data on SDI is
clocked in on the rising edge of the SCK line. The protocol used is 16bit, MSB first. The upper 8 bits (15:8) are
used to select an address within the device, the lower 8 bits (7:0) contain the updated data for this register.

When the part is configured as an I2C device then the LM4931 will respond to one of two addresses, according
to the ADDR input. If ADDR is low then the address portion of the I2C transaction should be set to write to
0010000. When ADDR is high then the address input should be set to write to 1110000. The LM4931 uses the
following 11 registers to store configuration information:

The N divider is a fractional divider as such:
N = PLL_N + (PLL _NMOD/32)
If the Modulus input is zero then the N divider is simpler an integer N divider. The output from the PLL is

If the Sample Rate is 48kHz and the input clock is 12.000MHz, then the solution shown in the table is:
Output Clock = 12.000MHz * (57 + 11/32) / (14 * 4) = 12.287946MHz. = 47.99979kHz * 256
Error = 48kHz – 47.99979kHz = 0.2Hz

Voice Codec
The voice codec operates at 128*fs, so it requires a 1.024MHz clock to operate on 8kHz data. The Audio DAC
also operates at 128*fs, i.e. 6.144MHz for 48kHz data, 5.6448MHz for 44.1kHz data etc. It is expected that the
PLL is used to drive the audio system unless a 12.288MHz or 24.576MHz (AC’97) master clock is supplied and
the sample rate is always 48kHz, in which case the PLL can be bypassed to reduce power.
The voice codec is always driven from the divided down clock from the PLL output or a divided down version of
the master clock. When using the voice codec for 8kHz operation, program the PLL as you would for 48kHz
operation and use Q to divide by (2*FSaudio/FSvoice).
The PLL can also use the I2S clock input as a source. In this case, the audio DAC uses the clock from the output
of the PLL and the voice codec either uses a divided by 6 clock or a divided version of the MCLK pin.
MCLK must be less than or equal to 50MHz if the input divider is to be used, otherwise MCLK can be any
frequency up to 25MHz. The comparison frequency after the M divider should be less than 5MHz

It is recommended to alter this bit only while the part is in Powerdown mode.
Always operate the digital IO at the lowest frequency possible to save power and reduce noise. Obviously this can limit the resolution of
the I2S interface from 18 bits to 16 bits, but if only 16 bit data is available use the 16 bit mode to reduce I/O power.
Reserved bits should be set to zero when programming the associated register.

Test Mode/1ms
To ensure a successful transition into Powerdown Mode, ZXD_DISABLE must be set whenever there is no audio input signal present.
The effect of CAP_SIZE will vary with the audio clock frequency. The delays quoted are for a 12.288MHz MCLK. These will scale
inversely to the MCLK frequency. For example if used in a 44.1kHz application where the PLL output is 11.2896MHz, “01” or 100ms will
be 100ms*11.2896/12.288 = 108.8ms. It is suggested that to save power earlier during the shutdown cycle, the PLL can be disabled and
the MCLK or MCLK/2 can be used to bypass the PLL and also provide longer shutdown times for further reduced click and pop.

Audio Interfaces
I2S
The LM4931 supports both master and slave I2S transmission at either 16 or 32 bits per word at clock rates up
to 3.072MHz (48kHz stereo, 32bit). The basic format is shown below:
Figure 6.
PCM
The PCM interface is both master and slave and is compatible with Texas Instruments' AAI, Motorola’s SSI, and
Texas Instrument’s McBSP audio codec interfaces. The protocol is short frame sync MSB first 2’s complement
16 bit linear. The MSB always follows the sync pulse. In the case of companded data the first 8 bits are used and
the interface can be slowed to 8 clock cycles per sync. In PCM_LONG mode the PCM_SYNC signal is inverted

LM4931ITL DEMO BOARD OPERATION
The LM4931ITL demo board is a complete evaluation platform, designed to give easy access to the control pins
of the part and comprises all the necessary external passive components. Besides the separate analog (JP8),
digital (JP7), PLL (JP9) and Loudspeaker (JP10) supply connectors, the board features seven other major input
and control blocks: an SPI/I2C compatible selectable interface bus (JP11) for the control lines, a PCM interface
bus (JP12) for voiceband digital audio, an I2S interface bus (JP13) for full-range digital audio, an analog mic jack
input (JP1) for connection to an external microphone, a high efficiency class D BTL mono output (JP5) for
connection to an external speaker, a stereo headphone output (JP15 or P1), and an external MCLK input (JP3)
for use in place of the crystal on the demoboard.
SPI/I2C Interface Bus (JP11)
This is the main control bus for the LM4931. This interface may either be configured as a two-wire, I2C
compatible interface by setting MODE = 0 (S1 = IN) or a three-wire SPI interface by setting MODE = 1 (S1 =
OUT).
I2C Compatible Mode (MODE = 0)
The two-wire I2C compatible interface consists of an SDA line (data) and SCL line (clock). Each transmission
from the baseband controller to the LM4931 is given MSB first and must follow the timing intervals given in the
Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet to create the start and stop conditions for a proper
transmission. The start condition is detected if SCL is high on the falling edge of SDA. The stop condition is
detected if SCL is high on the rising edge of SDA. Repeated start signals are handled correctly. Data is then
transmitted as shown in Figure 4 for the Two Wire I2C Compatible Interface. After the start condition has been
achieved the chip address is sent, followed by a set write bit, wait for ack (SDA will be pulled low by LM4931),
data bits 15-8, wait for ACK (SDA will be pulled low by LM4931), data bits 7-0, wait for ACK (SDA will be pulled
low by LM4931) and finally the stop condition is given.
This same sequence follows for any I2C control bus transmission to the LM4931. The chip address is hardwire
selected by the ADDR Select pin (JP11, pin 4) which may be software enabled high or low with the LM4931
demonstration control software. If ADDR is low, then the chip address is set to 0010000b. If ADDR is high, the
address is set to 1110000b. The 11 control registers are shown on page 13 in the System Control Table. Data
is sampled only if the address is in range and the R/W bit is clear. Data for each register is given in the System
Control section of the datasheet.
Pull-up resistors are required to achieve reliable operation. 10kΩ pull-up resistors on the SDA and SCL lines
achieves best results when used with TI’s parallel-to-serial interface board. Lower value pull-up resistors will
decrease the rise and fall times on the bus which will in turn decrease susceptibility to bus noise that may cause
a false trigger. The cost comes at extra current use. Control bus reliability will thus depend largely on bus noise
and may vary from design to design. Low noise is critical for reliable operation.
SPI Mode (MODE = 1)
The SPI interface consists of three lines: the serial data input pin (SDI), the clock input pin (SCK), and the SPI
enable pin (ENB).The serial data bits are organized into two fields of 8 bit data as shown on Figure 3 in the
Three Wire, SPI Interface timing diagram. The first 8 bits corresponds to the register address given on the
System Control Table on page 13. The second 8 bits contains the data to write to the desired control register.
These fields are transmitted subsequently to form a 16 bit word. For each SPI transfer, ENB is lowered and the
data bits are written to the SDI pin with the most significant bit (MSB) first. All serial data are sampled at the
rising edge of the SCK signal. Once all the data bits have been sampled, ENB transitions from logic-high to logiclow to complete the SPI sequence. All 16 bits must be received before any data latch can occur. Any excess
CLK and DATA transitions will be ignored after the sixteenth rising clock edge has occurred. For any data
sequence longer than 16 bits, only the first 16 bits will get loaded into the shift register and the rest of the bits will
be disregarded.
SPI Operational Requirements
1. The data bits are transmitted with the MSB first.
2. The maximum clock rate is 4MHz for the SCK pin.
3. SCK must remain logic-high for at least 500ns (tSPICH ) after the rising edge of SCK, and SCK must remain
logic-low for at least 500ns (tSPICL) after the falling edge of SCK.

SNAS251E – APRIL 2004 – REVISED MAY 2013
4. The serial data bits are sampled at the rising edge of SCK. Any transition on SDI must occur at least 100ns
(tSPISETHOLDD) before the rising edge of SCK. Also, any transition on SDI must occur at least 100ns (tSPISETD) after
the rising edge of SCK and stabilize before the next rising edge of SCK.
5. ENB should be logic-low only during serial data transmission.
6. ENB must be logic-low at least 100ns (tSPISETENB ) before the first rising edge of SCK, and ENB has to remain
logic-low at least 100ns (tSPIHOLDENB) after the sixteenth rising edge of SCK.
7. If ENB remains logic-high for mtore than 10ns before all 16 bits are transmitted then the data latch will be
aborted.
8. If ENB is logic-low for more than 16 SCK pulses then only the first 16 data bits will be latched and activated
when ENB transitions to logic-high.
9. ENB must remain logic-low for at least 100ns (tSPIHOLDENB ) to latch in the data.
10. Coincidental rising or falling edges of SCK and ENB are not allowed. If SCK is to be held logic-high after the
data transmission, the falling edge of SCK must occur at least 100ns before ENB transitions to logic-low for the
next set of data.
LM4931 Evaluation Software
The LM4931 demoboard can be easily evaluated with the accompanying LM4931 Evaluation Software. The
Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP compatible software is a GUI that allows easy access to all the I2C/SPI internal
registers of the device. The GUI controls the PC parallel port to deliver the appropriate I2C/SPI commands via
the Texas Instruments I2C/SPI Interface Card, in order to properly program the LM4931.
PCM Bus Interface (JP12)
PCM_SDO, PCM_SYNC, PCM_SDI, and PCM_CLK form the PCM interface bus for simple communication with
most baseband ICs with voiceband communications and follow the PCM-1900 communications standard. The
PCM interface features a frame length of 16 bits, A-law and u-law companded, linear mode, short or long frame
sync, an energy-saving power down mode, and master or slave operation. PCM_SYNC is the word sync line for
the bus. It may be set in the INTERFACES (09h) register (bit 3 PCM_LONG) for short or long frame sync. A
short frame sync is 1 PCM_CLK cycle (PCM_LONG=0), a long frame sync is an inverted version of short sync
(PCM_LONG=1). This is illustrated by Figure 7 in the PCM timing diagram under the Audio Interfaces section.
PCM_CLK is the bit clock for the bus. Its frequency is fixed at 128kHz and may be generated by the LM4931
when the PCM section is set to operate in master mode by setting bit 2 of the INTERFACES (09h) register.
Clearing this same bit (bit 2) places the PCM section into slave mode where an external clock must be provided.
The other two lines, PCM_SDO and PCM_SDI, are for serial data out and serial data in, respectively. The type of
data may also be set in the INTERFACES (09h) register by bits 0 and 1. Bit 0 controls whether the data is linear
or companded. If set to 1, the 8 MSBs are presumed to be companded data and the 8 LSBs are ignored. If
cleared to 0, the data is treated as 2’s complement PCM data. Bit 1 controls which PCM law is used if Bit 0 is set
for companded (G711) data. If set to 1, the companded data is assumed to be A-law. If cleared to 0, the
companded data is treated as µ-law.
I2S Interface Bus (JP13)
The I2S standard provides a uni-directional serial interface designed specifically for digital audio. For the
LM4931, the interface provides access to a 48kHz, 18 bit full-range stereo audio DAC. This interface uses a
three port system of clock (I2S_CLK), data (I2S_SDI), and word (I2S_WS). The clock and word lines can be either
master or slave as set by bit 4 in the INTERFACES (09h) register.
A bit clock (I2S_CLK) at 32 or 64 times the sample frequency is generated by the I2S system master (unless set
as a slave) and a word select (I2S_WS) line is driven at a frequency equal to the sampling rate of the audio data,
up to 48kHz. The word length is set by bit 5 of the INTERFACES (09h) register. When bit 5 is cleared, a word
length of 16 bits is selected. When set, the word length is set to 32 bits. All 18MSBs are passed to the DAC
when the I2S interface is set to 32 bit word mode. In 16 bit mode, all 16 bits are sent to the DAC. The word line is
registered to change on the negative edge of the bit clock. The serial data (I2S_SDI) is sent MSB first, again
registered on the negative edge of the bit clock, delayed by 1 bit clock cycle relative to the changing of the word
line (see Figure 6).

MCLK/XTAL_IN (JP3)
This is the input for an external Master Clock. The jumper at S13 must be removed (disconnecting the onboard
crystal from the circuit) when using an external Master Clock. Additionally, the jumper S14 may be used to
connect the MCLK with the PCM and I2S interface buses.
High-Efficiency Class D BTL Mono Out (JP5)
This is the high-efficiency mono speaker output, designed for use with an 8Ω speaker. The outputs are driven in
bridge-tied-load (BTL) mode, so both sides have signal. Outputs are normally biased at one half AVDD when the
LM4931 is in active mode. The class D amplifier provides exceptional power use savings versus standard class
AB amplifiers. A measurement output (JP6) is also provided, since the switching characteristics of an unfiltered
Class D output often render conventional audio measurement techniques useless. This output band-limits the
output to 20kHz, filtering out the switching noise for measurement purposes. This measurement output is not
intended to provide power to a load.
Stereo Headphone Out (JP15 or P1)
This is the stereo headphone output. Each channel is single-ended, with 47uF DC blocking capacitors mounted
on the demo board. The jack (P1) features a typical stereo headphone pinout. An alternate, pinned connection is
also provided (JP15).
Headphone sense is incorporated into the jack on the demo board. In this application HP_SENSE is pulled low
by the 1kΩ resistor when no headphone is present. This gives a corresponding logic low output on the
HP_SENSE pin. When a headphone is placed in the jack the 1kΩ pull-down is disconnected and a 100kΩ pullup resistor creates a high voltage condition on HP_SENSE. This information may be placed on the GPIO pin to
reliably drive an external microcontroller with headphone status.
It is important to note that if using the alternate connection (JP15) for stereo headphone operation, HP sense is
still tied to the mini-jack, requiring a physical plug to break the connection. HP sensing will then require a plug be
placed in the jack (dummy plug).
MIC Jack (JP1)
This jack is for connection to an external microphone like the kind typically found in mobile phones. Pin 1 is
GND, pin 2 is the negative input pin, and pin 3 is the positive pin, with phantom voltage supplied by MIC_BIAS
on the LM4931.
GPIO (JP14)
This pin provides simple status updates from the LM4931 to an external microcontroller if desired. The GPIO
output may be configured in the PMC_CONFIG (0Ah) register. Bits of the PMC_CONFIG (0Ah) register may be
used to set the GPIO to output information regarding whether the headphone is connected, the voice-codec
clock, an external LS enable signal, and shutdown status for the voiceband ADC, voiceband DAC, and the Left
and Right channels of the full range-audio DAC. The voice-codec clock is only provided over the GPIO port if the
voice codec is enabled. These outputs can be useful for simple software/driver development to monitor mode
changes, or as a simple debugging tool.
BASIC OPERATION
The LM4931 is a highly integrated audio subsystem with many different operating modes available. These
modes may be controlled in the BASIC_CONFIG (00h) register by bits 3:0. These mode settings are shown in
the BASIC_CONFIG (00h) register table and are described here below:
Powerdown Mode (0000b)
Part is powered down, analog outputs are not biased. This is a minimum current mode. All part features are shut
down.

Standby Mode (0001b)
The LM4931 is powered down, but outputs are still biased at one half AVDD. This comes at some current cost,
but provides a much faster turn-on time with zero "click and pop" transients on the headphone out. Standby
mode can be toggled into and out of rapidly and is ideal for saving power whenever continuous audio is not a
requirement. All other part functions are suspended.
Mono Speaker Mode (0010b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Audio from the voiceband codec is routed to the mono speaker out.
Stereo headphone out is muted.
Headphone Call Mode (0011b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Audio from voiceband codec is routed to the stereo headphones.
Both left and right channels are the same. Mono speaker out is muted.
Conference Call Mode (0100b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Audio from the voiceband codec is routed to the mono speaker out
and to the stereo headphones.
L+R Mixed to Mono Speaker (0101b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Full-range audio from the 18bit/48kHz audio DAC is mixed together
and routed to the mono speaker out. Stereo headphones are muted.
Headphone Stereo Audio (0110b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Full-range audio from the 18bit/48kHz audio DAC is sent to the
stereo headphone jack. Each channel is heard discretely. The mono speaker is muted.
L+R Mixed to Mono Speaker + Stereo Headphone Audio (0111b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Full-range audio from the 18bit/48kHz audio DAC is sent discretely
to the stereo headphone jack and also mixed together and sent to the mono speaker out.
Mixed Mode (1000b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. This provides one channel (the left channel) of full range audio to
the mono speaker out. Audio from the voiceband codec is then sent to the stereo headphones, the same on
each channel.
Mixed Mode (1001b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Mixed voiceband and full-range audio (left channel only) is sent to
the mono speaker out. Audio from the voiceband codec only is sent to the stereo headphones, the same on each
channel.
Mixed Mode (1010b)
Part is active. All analog outputs are biased. Audio from the voiceband codec is sent to the mono speaker out.
The left channel only of the full range audio is then sent to both the left and right channels of the stereo
headphone out.
REGISTERS
The LM4931 starts on power-up with all registers cleared in Powerdown mode. Powerdown mode is the
recommended time to make setup changes to the digital interfaces (PCM bus, I2S bus). Although the
configuration registers can be changed in any mode, changes made during Standby or Powerdown prevent
unwanted audio artifacts that may occur during rapid mode changes with the outputs active. The LM4931 also
features a soft reset. This reset is enabled by setting bit 4 of the BASIC_CONFIG (00h) register. DAC dither may
also be controlled in this register (bit 5).

The VOICE_CONFIG (01h) register is used to set various configuration parameters on the voiceband and fullrange audio codecs. SIDETONE_ATTEN (bits 3:0) refers to the level of signal from the MIC input that is fed back
into the analog audio output path (commonly used in headphone applications and killed in hands-free
applications). Setting the AUTOSIDE bit (bit 4) automatically mutes the sidetone in voice over mono speaker
modes so feedback isn’t an issue. Dither for the voice ADC and DAC may be disabled by setting bits 6 or 7,
respectively. Bit 5 is reserved.
The MIC_GAIN (02h) register provides for microphone preamplifier gains of 6dB to 36dB in 2dB steps (bits 3:0).
A quick mute bit is provided for the mic (bit 4) as well as a bit to disable the high-pass filter on the voice ADC,
allowing wider bandwidth usage through the microphone input.
The HP_GAIN (03h) register provides settings for headphone control. Bits 4:0 set the gain of the headphone
output from –46.5dB to 0dB in 1.5dB steps. A quick mute bit is also provided (bit 5). Additionally, the LM4931
may be configured to react to a high or low HP_SENSE voltage (bit 6) and may also provide this output on the
GPIO pin in either positive or negative form (bit 7). This will only be seen on the GPIO output if it is configured to
show HP_CONNECTED as described in the GPIO section.
The LS_GAIN (04h) register is used to set the mono class D loudspeaker gain. Bits 4:0 set this from –34.5dB to
+12dB in 1.5dB steps. A quick mute (bit 5) is provided as well as an auto-mute bit (bit 6) that, if set, automatically
mutes the loudspeaker when headphone sense detects that headphones have been connected. A powerdown bit
(bit 7) is also provided to independently shutdown just the class D amplifier.
CLK_MUX (08h) is the clock divider register. Bit 0 sets the PLL input source. When clear, MCLK is used, when
set, the I2S input clock is used. Bit 1 gives a divide by 2 for usage with a faster MCLK (like 24.576MHz). Bit 2
selects which clock is passed to the full range audio subsystem. If clear, the PLL output is used. If set, MCLK (or
MCLK/2 if set) is used directly. Bit 3 does the same for the voice codec subsystem. If clear, the PLL output is
used. If set, MCLK or MCLK/2 is used. Bit 4 powers down the PLL (if not needed). Bits 6:5 program the Q
divider, that can be further used to divide down the PLL output frequency. Bit 7 is reserved.
The INTERFACES (09h) register controls all the digital interface configurations. This may be used to set the
PCM configuration and I2S configuration as stated above in the PCM Bus Interface and I2S Bus Interface
sections. Bits 6 is reserved for test modes.
The PMC_CONFIG (0Ah) register controls various power management responsibilities including bypass
capacitor size (bits 2:1). Zero crossing disable (bit 0) is also provided to allow the LM4931 to change modes
regardless of zero crossing detect status. If set, the LM4931 will change modes immediately without waiting for
the outputs to cross zero. Bits 6 is reserved.
PLL Registers
The PLL will accept incoming clock frequencies from 10MHz to 25MHz. However, since the control clocks, PCM
clocks, and I2S clocks all operate at fixed, defined frequencies the PLL must also be configured to match the
incoming frequency and provide the correct output for all the parts of the subsystem.
The first register, PLL_M (05h), sets the PLL input divider. Bits 4:0 of this register are used to set the divider
from 4 to 31. It is also possible to bypass the divider (M =1) by setting PLL_M to 0001b. Setting PLL_M to 0010b
gives a divide by 2. Setting PLL_M to 0011b gives a default divider of 4 (as does setting to 0100b). Values above
that are identical to their base 10 integer values. Bits 7:5 programs the modulus bits of the PLL feedback divider.
The second PLL register, PLL_N (06h), sets the PLL feedback divider. Bits 6:0 are used to set the PLL feedback
divider from divide by 4 to divide by 127. Values set from 0 to 3 are rounded to 4. This register also may be used
to alter the speed of the VCO. Setting bit 7 (FAST_VCO) tunes the VCO operation for frequencies up to 100MHz.
Normally it is tuned for outputs around 50MHz.
The final PLL register, PLL_P (07h), sets the PLL output divider. Bits 3:0 set this from divide by 4 to divide by 15.
Inputs of 0 to 3 are rounded to 4. It is also recommended that P = 4 to keep the VCO around its nominal
operating frequency (50MHz if PLL_N bit 7 is clear). The divider modulus may be set by bits 5:4. Additionally, the
dither level for the PLL is controlled in this register in bits 7:6.
The Audio Clock Requirements table details how different clock values may be generated for a given input
clock.

output can provide up to 1.1W of power into an 8 ohms load with a 5V analog supply. A single-ended stereo
headphone output is also featured, providing up to 26mW of power per channel into 32Ω with a 5V analog
supply. The MIC Jack input (JP1) provides for a low level analog input. Pin 3 provides the power to the MIC and
the positive input of the LM4931. Gain for the MIC preamp is set in the MIC_GAIN (02h) register.
HIGH EFFICIENCY CLASS D AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The class D mono output signals generated by the LM4931 consist of two, BTL connected, output signals that
pulse momentarily from near ground potential to VDD. The two outputs can pulse independently with the
exception that they both may never pulse simultaneously as this would result in zero volts across the BTL load.
The minimum width of each pulse is approximately 160ns. However, pulses on the same output can occur
sequentially, in which case they are concatenated and appear as a single wider pulse to achieve an effective
100% duty cycle. This results in maximum audio output power for a given supply voltage and load impedance.
The LM4931 can achieve much higher efficiencies than class AB amplifiers while maintaining acceptable THD
performance. The short (160ns) drive pulses emitted at the LM4931 outputs means that good efficiency can be
obtained with minimal load inductance. The typical transducer load on an audio amplifier is quite reactive
(inductive). For this reason, the load can act as it’s own filter, so to speak. This "filter-less" switching
amplifier/transducer load combination is much more attractive economically due to savings in board space and
external component cost by eliminating the need for a filter.
CLASS D POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY
In general terms, efficiency is considered to be the ratio of useful work output divided by the total energy required
to produce it with the difference being the power dissipated, typically, in the IC. The key here is “useful” work. For
audio systems, the energy delivered in the audible bands is considered useful including the distortion products of
the input signal. Sub-sonic (DC) and super-sonic components (>22kHz) are not useful. The difference between
the power flowing from the power supply and the audio band power being transduced is dissipated in the
LM4931 and in the transducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4931 is very low. This is because
the ON resistance of the switches used to form the output waveforms is typically less than 0.25Ω. This leaves
only the transducer load as a potential "sink" for the small excess of input power over audio band output power.
The LM4931 dissipates only a fraction of the excess power requiring no additional PCB area or copper plane to
act as a heat sink.
DUAL MICROPHONE SUPPORT
The LM4931 can be configured to accept two separate microphone inputs when used in conjunction with the
LMS4684. The LMS4684 is a dual SPDT analog switch that will allow the MIC_P and MIC_N inputs of the
LM4931 to switch between a differential handset microphone and a single-ended handsfree microphone. The
MIC DETECT block shown in Figure 67 can be implemented with a microphone jack’s mechanical control pin to
set the voltage at the IN1 and IN2 pins of the LMS4684. The voltage applied at the IN1 and IN2 pins sets the
position of the switch. For a more detailed discussion on the operation of the analog switch, please refer to the
LMS4684 datasheet.
