Using the SGM8903 in audio products can reduce
component count compared to traditional methods of
generating a 3Vrms output. The SGM8903 doesn't
require a power supply greater than 5V to generate an
8.5VPP output, nor does the device require a split rail
power supply. The SGM8903 integrates a charge pump
to generate a negative supply rail that provides a clean,

OVERSTRESS CAUTION
Stresses beyond those listed may cause permanent damage
to the device. Functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational
section of the specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
reliability.
ESD SENSITIVITY CAUTION
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD if you don’t
pay attention to ESD protection. SGMICRO recommends that
all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions.
Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures
can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle
performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage
because very small parametric changes could cause the
device not to meet its published specifications.

NOTES:
1. In order to get good performance, it’s important to select the right CPUMP, CPVSS and CBYP in application. All tests
are performed with circuit set up with X5R and X7R capacitors. Capacitors having high dissipative loss, such as Y5V
capacitor, may cause performance degradation and unexpected system behavior.
2. A 10kΩ resistor is recommended to be put between EN pin and external power supply or control I/O.

SGM8903
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Decoupling Capacitors
The SGM8903 is a capless line driver amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure that the
noise and total harmonic distortion (THD) are low. A good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor,
typically 1µF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead, works best. Placing this decoupling capacitor close
to the SGM8903 is important for the performance of the amplifier. For filtering lower frequency noise signals, a 10µF
or larger capacitor placed near the audio power amplifier would also help, but it is not required in most applications
because of the high PSRR of this device.
Gain Setting Resistors Ranges
The gain setting resistors, RIN and RFB, must be chosen so that noise, stability and input capacitor size of the
SGM8903 are kept within acceptable limits. Voltage gain is defined as RFB divided by RIN.
Selecting values that are too low demands a large input AC coupling capacitor, CIN. Selecting values that are too
high increases the noise of the amplifier. Table 1 lists the recommended resistor values for different gain settings.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Input-Blocking Capacitors
DC input-blocking capacitors are required to be added in series with the audio signal into the input pins of the
SGM8903. These capacitors block the DC portion of the audio source and allow the SGM8903 inputs to be properly
biased to provide maximum performance. The input-blocking capacitors also limit the DC-gain to one, limiting the
DC-offset voltage at the output.
These capacitors form a high-pass filter with the input resistor, RIN. The cutoff frequency is calculated using
Equation 1. For this calculation, the capacitance used is the input-blocking capacitor and the resistance is the input
resistor chosen from Table 1, then the frequency and/or capacitance can be determined when one of the two values
are given.

Using the SGM8903 as 2nd-Order Filter
Several audio DACs used today require an external low-pass filter to remove out of band noise. This is possible with
the SGM8903 as it can be used like a standard OPAMP.
Several filter topologies can be implemented both single-endedly and differentially. In Figure 4, a Multi Feedback
(MFB), with differential input and single-ended input is shown.
An AC coupling capacitor to remove DC-content from the source is shown. It serves to block any DC-content from
the source and lowers the DC-gain to one, helping reducing the output DC-offset to minimum.

Figure 4. 2nd-Order Active Low Pass Filter
The resistor values should be kept low to obtain low noise, but should also be high enough to get a small size AC
coupling cap. Using 5.6kΩ for the resistors, C1 = 220pF, and C2 = 470pF, an SNR of 114dB can be achieved with a
10μF input AC coupling capacitor.
Pop-Free Power-Up
Pop-free power-up is ensured by keeping the SD (EN) (shutdown pin) low during power supply ramp up and down.
The EN pin should be kept low until the input AC coupling capacitors are fully charged before asserting the EN pin
high. This way proper precharge of the AC coupling is performed, and pop-free power-up is achieved. Figure 5
illustrates the preferred sequence.

External Under-Voltage Detection
External under-voltage detection can be used to mute/shut down the SGM8903 before an input device can generate
a pop.
The threshold seen at the UVP pin is 1.13V. A hysteresis is introduced with a resistive divider, where thresholds for
startup and shutdown are determined respectively as follows:
Startup Threshold: VUDPR = 1.13V × (R11 + R12) / R12
Shutdown Threshold: VUDPF = 1.13V × (R11+R12) / R12 - 4.8μA × (R13 + R11 || R12) × (R11 + R12) / R12
Hysteresis: 4.8μA × (R13 + R11 || R12) × (R11 + R12) / R12
The R13 is optional. If the R13 is not used, the UVP pin connects to the divider center tap directly.

Capacitive Load
The SGM8903 has the ability to drive large capacitive load up to 220pF directly, and larger capacitive loads can be
accepted by adding a series resistor of 47Ω or larger.
Gain-Setting Resistors
The gain setting resistors, RIN and RFB, must be placed close to the input pins to minimize the capacitive loading on
these pins and to ensure maximum stability of the SGM8903.
