NAU88C22
24-bit Stereo Audio Codec with Speaker Driver
Description
The NAU88C22 is a low power, high quality CODEC for portable and general purpose audio applications. In
addition to precision 24-bit stereo ADCs and DACs, this device integrates a broad range of additional functions
to simplify implementation of complete audio system solutions. The NAU88C22 includes drivers for speaker,
headphone, and differential or stereo line outputs, and integrates preamps for stereo differential microphones,
significantly reducing external component requirements. Also, a fractional PLL is available to accurately
generate any audio sample rate for the CODEC using any commonly available system clock from 8MHz through
33MHz.
Advanced on-chip digital signal processing includes a 5-band equalizer, a 3-D audio enhancer, a mixed-signal
automatic level control for the microphone or line input through the ADC, and a digital limiter/dynamic-rangecompressor (DRC) function for the playback path. Additional digital filtering options are available in the ADC
path, to simplify implementation of specific application requirements such as “wind noise reduction” and speech
band enhancement. The digital audio input/output interface can operate as either a master or a slave.
The NAU88C22 operates with analog supply voltages from 2.5V to 3.6V, while the digital core can operate at
1.7V to conserve power. The loudspeaker BTL output pair and two auxiliary line outputs can operate using a 5V
supply to increase output power capability, enabling the NAU88C22 to drive 1 Watt into an external speaker.
Internal register controls enable flexible power saving modes by powering down sub-sections of the chip under
software control.
The NAU88C22 is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and is available in a space-saving 32-lead QFN
package.

Notes
1. Full Scale is relative to the magnitude of VDDA and can be calculated as FS = VDDA/3.3.
2. Distortion is measured in the standard way as the combined quantity of distortion products plus noise. The signal level
for distortion measurements is at 3dB below full scale, unless otherwise noted.
3. Time values scale proportionally with MCLK. Complete descriptions and definitions for these values are contained in
the detailed descriptions of the ALC functionality.
4. With default register settings, VDDSPK should be 1.5xVDDA (but not exceeding maximum recommended operating
voltage) to optimize available dynamic range in the AUXOUT1 and AUXOUT2 line output stages. Output DC bias
level is optimized for VDDSPK = 5.0Vdc (boost mode) and VDDA = 3.3Vdc.
5. Unused analog input pins should be left as no-connection.
6. Unused digital input pins should be tied to ground.
7. 4 Ω loading is not recommended for speaker outputs

General Description
The NAU88C22 is an upgrade to the WAU8822, and delivers reduced out-of-band noise energy, improved ALC
and DSP signal processing, read-out capability of realtime signal level, readout of DSP status, and added
controls for industry leading pop/click noise management. Additionally, handling of settings for 5-volt and 3volt operation are simplified, and all registers unique to Nuvoton are moved to higher addresses. This makes the
part a direct hardware and software drop-in replacement for common industry parts.
The NAU88C22 is a stereo part with identical left and right channels that share common support elements.
Additionally, the right channel auxiliary output path includes a dedicated submixer that supports mixing the right
auxiliary input directly into the right speaker output driver. This enables the right speaker channel to output
audio that is not present on any other output.
1.1.1 Analog Inputs
All inputs, except for the wide range programmable amplifier (PGA), have available analog input gain
conditioning of -15dB through +6dB in 3dB steps. All inputs also have individual muting functions with
excellent channel isolation and off-isolation from all outputs. All inputs are suitable for full quality, high
bandwidth signals.
Each of the left-right stereo channels includes a low noise differential PGA amplifier, programmable for highgain input. This may be used for a microphone level through line level source. Gain may be set from +35.25db
through -12dB at the analog difference-amplifier type programmable amplifier input stage. A separate
additional 20dB analog gain is available on this input path, between the PGA output and ADC mixer input. The
output of the ADC mixer may be routed to the ADC and/or analog bypass to the analog output sections.
Each channel also has a line level input. This input may be routed to the input PGA, and/or directly to the ADC
input mixer.
Each channel has a separate additional auxiliary input. This is a line level input which may be routed the ADC
input mixer and/or directly to the analog output mixers.
1.1.2 Analog Outputs
There are six high current analog audio outputs. These are very flexible outputs that can be used individually or
in stereo pairs for a wide range of end uses. However, these outputs are optimized for specific functions and are
described in this section using the functional names that are applicable to those optimized functions.
Each output receives its signal source from built-in analog output mixers. These mixers enable a wide range of
signal combinations, including muting of all sources. Additionally, each output has a programmable gain
function, output mute function, and output disable function.
The RHP and LHP headphone outputs are optimized for driving a stereo pair of headphones, and are powered
from the main analog voltage supply rail, VDDA. These outputs may be coupled using traditional DC blocking
series capacitors. Alternatively, these may be configured in a no-capacitor DC coupled design using a virtual
ground at ½ VDDA provided by an AUXOUT analog output operating in the non-boost output mode.
The AUXOUT1 and AUXOUT2 analog outputs are powered from the VDDSPK supply rail and VSSSPK
ground return path. The supply rail may be the same as VDDA, or may be a separate voltage up to 5.5Vdc. This
higher voltage enables these outputs to have an increased output voltage range and greater output power
capability.
The RSPKOUT and LSPKOUT loudspeaker outputs are powered from the VDDSPK power supply rail and
VSSGND ground return path. RSPKOUT receives its audio signal via an additional submixer. This submixer
supports combining a traditional alert sound (from the RAUXIN input) with the right channel headphone output
mixer signal. This submixer also provides the signal invert function that is necessary for the normal BTL
(Bridge Tied Load) configuration used to drive a high power external loudspeaker. Alternatively, each
loudspeaker output may be used individually as a separate high current analog output driver.
A programmable low-noise MICBIAS microphone bias supply output is included. This is suitable for both
conventional electret (ECM) type microphone, and to power the newer MEMS all-silicon type microphones.

1.1.3 ADC, DAC, and Digital Signal Processing
Each left and right channel has an independent high quality ADC and DAC associated with it. These are high
performance, 24-bit delta-sigma converters that are suitable for a very wide range of applications.
The ADC and DAC functions are each individually supported by powerful analog mixing and routing. The
ADC output may be routed to the digital output path and/or to the input of the DAC in a digital passthrough
mode. The ADC and DAC blocks are also supported by advanced digital signal processing subsystems that
enable a very wide range of programmable signal conditioning and signal optimizing functions. All digital
processing is with 24-bit precision, as to minimize processing artifacts and maximize the audio dynamic range
supported by the LL.
The ADCs are supported by a wide range, mixed-mode Automatic Level Control (ALC), a high pass filter, and a
notch filter. All of these features are optional and highly programmable. The high pass filter function is
intended for DC-blocking or low frequency noise reduction, such as to reduce unwanted ambient noise or “wind
noise” on a microphone input. The notch filter may be programmed to greatly reduce a specific frequency band
or frequency, such as a 50Hz, 60Hz, or 217Hz unwanted noise.
The DACs are supported by a programmable limiter/DRC (Dynamic Range Compressor). This is useful to
optimize the output level for various applications and for use with small loudspeakers. This is an optional
feature that may be programmed to limit the maximum output level and/or boost an output level that is too small.
Digital signal processing is also provided for a 3D Audio Enhancement function, and for a 5-Band Equalizer.
These features are optional, and are programmable over wide ranges. This pair of digital processing features
may be applied jointly to either the ADC audio path or to the DAC audio path, but not to both paths
simultaneously.
1.1.4 Realtime Signal Level Readout and DSP Status
In addition to general read-back ability of all its registers, the NAU88C22 includes powerful capabilities to
readback signal related DSP information not possible with almost any other CODEC. In conjunction with the
ALC, the software by means of the readback function can determine the realtime signal level at the inputs, as
well as the realtime actual gain setting being used by the ALC. Additionally, other signal related information
can also be determined, such as the Noise Gate on/off status and Automute/Softmute function status. These
greatly enhance both the ability to optimize software and to enhance dynamic end product functionality.
1.1.5 Digital Interfaces
Command and control of the device is accomplished using a 2-wire/3-wire/4-wire serial control interface. This
is a simple, but highly flexible interface that is compatible with many commonly used command and control
serial data protocols and host drivers.
Digital audio input/output data streams are transferred to and from the device separately from command and
control. The digital audio data interface supports either I2S or PCM audio data protocols, and is compatible with
commonly used industry standard devices that follow either of these two serial data formats.
1.1.6 Clock Requirements
The clocking signals required for the audio signal processing, audio data I/O, and control logic may be provided
externally, or by optional operation of a built-in PLL (Phase Locked Loop).
The PLL is provided as a low cost, zero external component count optional method to generate required clocks
in almost any system. The PLL is a fractional-N divider type design, which enables generating accurate desired
audio sample rates derived from a very wide range of commonly available system clocks.
The frequency of the system clock provided as the PLL reference frequency may be any stable frequency in the
range between 8MHz and 33MHz. Because the fractional-N multiplication factor is a very high precision 24-bit
value, any desired sample rate supported by the NAU88C22 can be generated with very high accuracy, typically
limited by the accuracy of the external reference frequency. Reference clocks and sample rates outside of these
ranges are also possible, but may involve performance tradeoffs and increased design verification.

Power Supply
This device has been designed to operate reliably using a wide range of power supply conditions and poweron/power-off sequences. There are no special requirements for the sequence or rate at which the various power
supply pins change. Any supply can rise or fall at any time without harm to the device. However, pops and
clicks may result from some sequences. Optimum handling of hardware and software power-on and power-off
sequencing is described in more detail in the Applications section of this document.
2.1.1 Power-On Reset
The NAU88C22 does not have an external reset pin. The device reset function is automatically generated
internally when power supplies are too low for reliable operation. The internal reset is generated any time that
either VDDA or VDDC is lower than is required for reliable maintenance of internal logic conditions. The reset
threshold voltage for VDDA and VDDC is approximately 1.4Vdc. If both VDDA and VDDC are being reduced
at the same time, the threshold voltage may be slightly lower. Note that these are much lower voltages than are
required for normal operation of the chip. These values are mentioned here as general guidance as to overall
system design.
If either VDDA or VDDC is below its respective threshold voltage, an internal reset condition is
asserted. During this time, all registers and controls are set to the hardware determined initial
conditions. Software access during this time will be ignored, and any expected actions from software activity
will be invalid.
When both VDDA and VDDC reach a value above their respective thresholds, an internal reset pulse is
generated which extends the reset condition for an additional time. The duration of this extended reset time is
approximately 50 microseconds, but not longer than 100 microseconds. The reset condition remains asserted
during this time. If either VDDA or VDDC at any time becomes lower than its respective threshold voltage, a
new reset condition will result. The reset condition will continue until both VDDA and VDDC again higher than
their respective thresholds. After VDDA and VDDC are again both greater than their respective threshold
voltage, a new reset pulse will be generated, which again will extend the reset condition for not longer than an
additional 100 microseconds.
2.1.2 Power Related Software Considerations
There is no direct way for software to determine that the device is actively held in a reset condition. If there is a
possibility that software could be accessing the device sooner than 100 microseconds after the VDDA and
VDDC supplies are valid, the reset condition can be determined indirectly. This is accomplished by writing a
value to any register other than register 0x00, with that value being different than the power-on reset initial
values. The optimum choice of register for this purpose may be dependent on the system design, and it is
recommended the system engineer choose the register and register test bit for this purpose. After writing the
value, software will then read back the same register. When the register test bit reads back as the new value,
instead of the power-on reset initial value, software can reliably determine that the reset condition has ended.
Although it is not required, it is strongly recommended that a Software Reset command should be issued after
power-on and after the power-on reset condition is ended. This will help insure reliable operation under every
power sequencing condition that could occur.
If there is any possibility that VDDA or VDDC could be unreliable during system operation, software may be
designed to monitor whether a power-on reset condition has happened. This can be accomplished by writing a
test bit to a register that is different from the power-on initial conditions. This test bit should be a bit that is
never used for any other reason, and does not affect desired operation in any way. Then, software at any time
can read this bit to determine if a power-on reset condition has occurred. If this bit ever reads back other than
the test value, then software can reliably know that a power-on reset event has occurred. Software can
subsequently re-initialize the device and the system as required by the system design.
2.1.3 Software Reset
All chip registers can be reset to power-on default conditions by writing any value to register 0, using any of the
control modes. Writing valid data to any other register disables the reset, but all registers need to have the

correct operating data written. See the applications section on powering NAU88C22 up for information on
avoiding pops and clicks after a software reset.

Input Path Detailed Descriptions
The NAU88C22 provides multiple inputs to acquire and process audio signals from microphones or other
sources with high fidelity and flexibility. There are left and right input paths, each with three input pins, which
can be used to capture signals from single-ended, differential or dual-differential microphones. These input
channels each include a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The outputs of the PGAs, plus two additional
auxiliary inputs, are then connected to the input boost/mix stages for maximum flexibility handling various
signal sources.
All inputs are maintained at a DC bias at approximately ½ of the AVDD supply voltage. Connections to these
inputs should be AC-coupled by means of DC blocking capacitors suitable for the device application.
Differential microphone input (MICN & MICP pins) and Programmable Gain Amplifier
The NAU88C22 features a low-noise, high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), differential microphone
input pair, MICP and MICN, which are connected to a PGA gain stage. The differential input structure is
essential in noisy digital systems where amplification of low-amplitude analog signals is necessary such as in
portable digital media devices and cell phones. Differential inputs very useful to reduce ground noise in systems
in which there are ground voltage differences between different chips and other components. When properly
implemented, the differential input architecture offers an improved power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and
higher ground noise immunity.
3.1
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
Each PGA supports three possible inputs, MICP, MICN, and LIN. These are the microphone differential pair
and a separate line level input. The PGA has a gain range of -12dB through +35.25dB in evenly spaced decibel
increments of 0.75dB. Operation of the PGA is subject to control by the following registers:
R2 Power management controls for the left and right PGA
R2 Power management controls for ADC Mix/Boost (must be “on” for any PGA path to function)
R7 Zero crossing timeout control
R32 Automatic Level Control (ALC) for the left and right PGA
R44 Input selection options for the left and right PGA
R45 Volume (gain), mute, update bit, and zero crossing control for the left PGA
R46 Volume (gain), mute, update bit, and zero crossing control for the right PGA
Important: The R45 and R46 update bits are write-only bits. The primary intended purpose of the update bit is
to enable simultaneous changes to both the left and right PGA volume values, even though these values must be
written sequentially. When there is a write operation to either R45 or R46 volume settings, but the update bit is
not set (value = 0), the new volume setting is stored as pending for the future, but does not go into effect. When
there is a write operation to either R45 or R46 and the update bit is set (value = 1), then the new value in the
register being written is immediately put into effect, and any pending value in the other PGA volume register is
put into effect at the same time.
Note: If the ALC automatic level control is enabled, the function of the ALC is to automatically adjust the R45
or R46 volume setting. If ALC is enabled for the left or right, or both channels, then software should avoid
changing the volume setting for the affected channel or channels. The reason for this is to avoid unexpected
volume changes caused by competition between the ALC and the direct software control of the volume setting.
Zero-Crossing controls are implemented to suppress clicking sounds that may occur when volume setting
changes take place while an audio input signal is active. When the zero crossing function is enabled (logic = 1),
any volume change for the affected channel will not take place until the audio input signal passes through the
zero point in its peak-to-peak swing. This prevents any instantaneous voltage change to the audio signal caused
by volume setting changes. If the zero crossing function is disabled (logic = 0), volume changes take place
instantly on condition of the Update Bit, but without regard to the instantaneous voltage level of the affected
audio input signal.
The R7 zero crossing timeout control is an additional feature to limit the amount of time that a volume change to
the PGA is delayed pending a zero crossing event. If the input signal is such that there are no zero crossing
events, and the timeout control is enabled (level = 1), any new volume setting to either PGA will automatically

be put into effect after between 2.5 and 3.5 periods of the Slow Timer Clock (see description under
“Miscellaneous Functions”).

Positive Microphone Input (MICP)
The positive (non-inverting) microphone input (MICP) can be used separately, or as part of a differential input
configuration. This input pin connects to the positive (non-inverting) terminal of the PGA amplifier under
control of register R44. When the R44 associated control bit is set (logic = 1), a switch connects MICP to the
PGA input. When the associated control bit is not set (logic = 0), the MICP pin is connected to a resistor of
approximately 30kΩ which is tied to VREF. The purpose of the tie to VREF is to reduce any pop or click sound
by keeping the DC level of the MICP pin close to VREF at all times.
Note: If the MICP signal is not used differentially with MICN, the PGA gain values will be valid only if the
MICN pin is terminated to a low impedance signal point. This termination should normally be an AC coupled
path to signal ground.

This input impedance is constant regardless of the gain value. The nominal input impedance for this input is
given by the following table. Impedance for specific gain values not listed in this table can be estimated

Negative Microphone Input (MICN)
The negative (inverting) microphone input (MICN) can be used separately, or as part of a differential input
configuration. This input pin connects to the negative (inverting) terminal of the PGA amplifier under control of
register R44. When the R44 associated control bit is set (logic = 1), a switch connects MICP to the PGA input.
When the associated control bit is not set (logic = 0), the MICN pin is connected to a resistor of approximately
30kΩ which is tied to VREF. The purpose of the tie to VREF is to reduce any pop or click sound by keeping the
DC level of the MICN pin close to VREF at all times.
It is important for a system designer to know that the MICN input impedance varies as a function of the selected
PGA gain. This is normal and expected for a difference amplifier type topology. The nominal resistive
impedance values for this input over the possible gain range are given by the following table. Impedance for
specific gain values not listed in this table can be estimated through interpolation between listed values.

System designers should also note that at the highest gain values, the input impedance is relatively low. For
most inputs, the best strategy if higher gain values are needed is to use the input PGA in combination with the
+20dB gain boost available on the PGA Mix/Boost stage that immediately follows the PGA output. A good
NAU88C22 Datasheet Rev 0.6
Page 18 of 101
June, 2016
guideline is to use the PGA gain for up to around 20dB of gain. If more gain than this is required and the lower
input impedance of the PGA at high gains is a problem, a combination of the PGA and boost stage should be
used. In this type of combined gain configuration, it is preferred to have at least 6dB gain at the PGA input stage
to benefit from the PGA low noise characteristics.
3.4
Microphone biasing
The MICBIAS pin provides a low-noise microphone DC bias voltage as may be required for operation of an
external microphone. This built-in feature can typically provide up to 3mA of microphone bias current. This
DC bias voltage is suitable for powering either traditional ECM (electret) type microphones, or for MEMS types
microphones with an independent power supply pin.
Seven different bias voltages are available for optimum system performance, depending on the specific
application. The microphone bias pin normally requires an external filtering capacitor as shown on the
schematic in the Application section. The microphone bias function is controlled by the following registers:
R1 Power control for MICBIAS feature (enabled when bit 4 = 1)
R58 Optional low-noise mode and different bias voltage levels (enabled when bit 4 = 1)
R44 Primary MICBIAS voltage selection
The low-noise feature results in greatly reduced noise in the external MICBIAS voltage by placing a resistor of
approximately 200-ohms in series with the output pin. This creates a low pass filter in conjunction with the
external micbias filter capacitor, but without any additional external components. The low noise feature is
enabled when the mode control bit 4 in register R58 is set (level = 1)

Line/Aux Input Impedance and Variable Gain Stage Topology
Except for the input PGAs, other variable gain stages are implemented similarly to the simplified schematic
shown here. The gain value changes affect input impedance in the ranges detailed in the description of each type
of input path. If a path is in the “not selected” condition, then the input impedance will be in a high impedance
condition. If an external input pin is not used anywhere in the system, it will be coupled to a DC tie-off of
approximately 30kΩ coupled to VREF. The unused input/output tie-off function is explained in more detail in
the Application Information section of this document.

The input impedance presented to these inputs depends on the input routing choices and gain values. If an input
is routed to more than one internal input node, then the effective input impedance will be the parallel
combination of the impedance of the multiple nodes that are used. The impedance looking into the PGA noninverting input is constant as listed in the section discussing the microphone input PGAs. The nominal resistive
input impedances looking into the ADC Mix/Boost input inputs are listed in the following table:

3.6
Left and Right Line Inputs (LLIN and RLIN)
A third possible input to the left or right PGA is an optional associated LIN left or right line level input. These
inputs may be routed to the PGA non-inverting input, and/or connect directly to the ADC Mixer/Boost stage. If
routed to the PGA, this signal is processed as an alternate pin for the MICP signal. LIN may be received
differentially in relation to the MICN pin and has available the same gain range as for MICP. As in the
operational case of using the MICP input, the MICN input must have a low impedance path to signal ground, so
that the gain values chosen in the PGA are valid.
Note: It not recommended that both the LIN line input path to the PGA and the MICP path to the PGA be
enabled at the same time. This will cause the differential gain to be unbalanced, and result in poor common
mode rejection. Also, this will result in the LIN and MICP signals being connected together through internal
chip resistors.
The line input pins, may alternatively be configured to operate as a GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) logic
input pin. This intended purpose is static logic voltage level sensing to determine if a headset is present or not as
part of a physical detection of a possible external headset. Only one GPIO pin at any one time can be assigned
for this purpose.
Registers that affect operation of the LLIN and RLIN inputs are:
R2 ADC Mix/Boost power control (must be “on” for any LIN path to function)
R9 GPIO selection for headset detect function
R44 PGA input selection control bits
If selected, all other PGA control registers (see PGA description)
R47 Left line input ADC Mix/Boost volume and mute (bits 4, 5, and 6)
R48 Right line input ADC Mix/Boost volume and mute (bits 4, 5, and 6)
3.7
Auxiliary inputs (LAUXIN, RAUXIN)
The left and right channels each have an additional input that is separate from the programmable amplifier stage.
These are the left and right auxiliary inputs, LAUXIN and RAUXIN. These inputs may be routed to either or
both the associated ADC Mix/Boost stage, or the associated LCH MIX or RCH MIX output mixer.
The RAUXIN input may additionally be routed to the Right Speaker Submixer in the analog output section.
This path enables a sound to be output from the RSPKOUT speaker output, but without being audible anywhere
else in the system. One purpose of this path is to support a traditional “beep” sound, such as from a
microprocessor toggle bit. This is a historical application scenario which is now uncommon.
The auxiliary inputs are affected by the following registers:
ADC Mix/Boost if used (see ADC Mix/Boost section)
LCH MIXER or RCH MIXER if used (see output mixer section)
BEEP MIXER if used (see Beep Mixer section)
Note: no power control registers affect only the auxiliary inputs
The input impedance presented to these inputs depends on the input routing choices and gain values. If an input
is routed to more than one internal input node, then the effective input impedance will be the parallel
combination of the impedance of the multiple nodes that are used. The input impedances presented to these
inputs are the same as those listed for the LLIN and RLIN inputs.
3.8
ADC Mix/Boost Stage
The left and right channels each have an independent ADC Mix/Boost stage. Most analog input signals must
pass through the ADC Mix/Boost stage before use anywhere else in this device. The only analog inputs that can
completely bypass the ADC Mix/Boost stage are the LAUXIN and RAUXIN auxiliary inputs.
The ADC mixer stage has three inputs, AUX, LIN, and PGA. The AUX input is for the associated auxiliary
input, and the LIN is for the associated line input. The PGA input is an internal connection to the associated
programmable gain amplifier servicing the microphone and line inputs.

All three inputs to the ADC Mix/Boost stage can be independently muted, and all three inputs have independent
gain controls. The AUX and LIN inputs have an available gain range of -12dB through +6dB in 3dB steps. The
PGA input path has a choice of 0dB or 20dB of gain in addition to the gain in the PGA.
Registers that affect the ADC Mix/Boot stage are:
R2 Power control for left and right channels
R45 mute function for left channel PGA (bit 6 = 0 = muted condition)
R46 mute function for right channel PGA (bit 6 = 0 = muted condition)
R47 gain and mute control for left channel AUX and LIN
R48 gain and mute control for right channel AUX and LIN

Input Limiter / Automatic Level Control (ALC)
The input section of the NAU88C22 is supported by additional combined digital and analog functionality which
implement an Automatic Level Control (ALC) function. This can be very useful to automatically manage the
analog input gain to optimize the signal level at the output of the programmable amplifier. The ALC can
automatically amplify input signals that are too small, or decrease the amplitude if the signals are too loud. This
system also helps to prevent clipping (overdrive) at the input of the ADC while maximizing the full dynamic
range of the ADC.
The ALC may be operated in the normal mode just described, on in a special limiter mode of operation. The
limiter mode is a faster mode of operation, the primary purpose of which is to limit too-loud signals. The limiter
mode of operation is described after this section which provides details on the normal mode of operation.
The functional block architecture for the ALC is shown below. The ALC monitors the output of the ADC,
measured after the digital decimator. The ADC output is fed into a peak detector, which updates the measured
peak value whenever the absolute value of the input signal is higher than the current measured peak. The
measured peak gradually decays to zero unless a new peak is detected, allowing for an accurate measurement of
the signal envelope. The peak value is used by a logic algorithm to determine whether the PGA input gain
should be increased, decreased, or remain the same.

3.9.1 Normal Mode Example Operation
Immediately following is a simple example of the ALC operation. In the steady state at the beginning of the
example time sequence, the PGA gain is at a steady value which results in the desired output level from the ADC.
When the input signal suddenly becomes louder, the ALC reduces volume at a register determined rate and step
size. This continues until the output level of the ADC is again at the desired target level. When the input signal
suddenly becomes quiet, the ALC increases volume at a register determined rate and step size. When the output
level from the ADC again reaches the target level, and now the input remains at a constant level, the ALC
remains in a steady state.

3.9.2 ALC Parameter Definitions
Automatic level and volume control features are complex and have difficult to understand traditional names for
many features and controls. This section defines some terms so that the explanations of this subsystem are more
clear.
ALC Maximum Gain: Register 32 (ALCMXGAIN) This sets the maximum allowed gain in the PGA during
normal mode ALC operation. In the Limiter mode of ALC operation, the ALCMXGAIN value is not used. In
the Limiter mode, the maximum gain allowed for the PGA is set equal to the pre-existing PGA gain value that
was in effect at the moment in time that the Limiter mode is enabled.
ALC Minimum Gain: Register 32 (ALCMNGAIN) This sets the minimum allowed gain in the PGA during all
modes of ALC operation. This is useful to keep the AGC operating range close to the desired range for a given
application scenario.
ALC Target Value: Register 33 (ALCSL) Determines the value used by the ALC logic decisions comparing
this fixed value with the output of the ADC. This value is expressed as a fraction of Full Scale (FS) output from
the ADC. Depending on the logic conditions, the output value used in the comparison may be either the
instantaneous value of the ADC, or otherwise a time weighted average of the ADC peak output level.
ALC Attack Time: Register 34 (ALCATK) Attack time refers to how quickly a system responds to an
increasing volume level that is greater than some defined threshold. Typically, attack time is much faster than
decay time. In the NAU88C22, when the absolute value of the ADC output exceeds the ALC Target Value, the
PGA gain will be reduced at a step size and rate determined by this parameter. When the peak ADC output is at
least 1.5dB lower than the ALC Target Value, the stepped gain reduction will halt.
ALC Decay Time: Register 34 (ALCDCY) Decay time refers to how quickly a system responds to a decreasing
volume level. Typically, decay time is much slower than attack time. When the ADC output level is below the
ALC Target value by at least 1.5dB, the PGA gain will increase at a rate determined by this parameter. The
decay time constant is determined by the setting in register 34, bits 4 to 7 (ALCDCY), which sets the delay
between increases in gain. In Limiter mode, the time constants are faster than in ALC mode. (See Detailed
Register Map.)
ALC Hold Time Register 33 (ALCHLD) Hold time refers to a duration of time when no action is taken. This is
typically to avoid undesirable sounds that can happen when an ALC responds too quickly to a changing input
signal. The use and amount of hold time is very application specific. In the NAU88C22, the hold time value is
the duration of time that the ADC output peak value must be less than the target value before there is an actual
gain increase.

3.10 ALC Peak Limiter Function
To reduce clipping and other bad audio effects, all ALC modes include a peak limiter function. This implements
an emergency PGA gain reduction when the ADC output level exceeds a built-in maximum value. When the
ADC output exceeds 87.5% of full scale, the ALC block ramps down the PGA gain at the maximum ALC
Attack Time rate, regardless of the mode and attack rate settings, until the ADC output level has been reduced
below the emergency limit threshold. This limits ADC clipping if there is a sudden increase in the input signal
level.
3.10.1 ALC Normal Mode Example Using ALC Hold Time Feature
Input signals with different characteristics (e.g., voice vs. music) may require different settings for this parameter
for optimum performance. Increasing the ALC hold time prevents the ALC from reacting too quickly to brief
periods of silence such as those that may appear in music recordings; having a shorter hold time, may be useful
in voice applications where a faster reaction time helps to adjust the volume setting for speakers with different
volumes. The waveform below shows the operation of the ALCHLD parameter.

3.11 Noise Gate (Normal Mode Only)
A noise gate threshold prevents ALC amplification of noise when there is no input signal, or no signal above an
expected background noise level. The noise gate is enabled by setting register 35, bit 3 (NGEN), HIGH, and the
threshold level is set in register 35, bits 0 to 2 (NGTH). This does not remove noise from the signal; when there
is no signal or a very quiet signal (pause) composed mostly of noise, the ALC holds the gain constant instead of
amplifying the signal towards the target threshold. The NAU88C22 accomplishes this by comparing the input
signal level against the noise gate threshold. The noise gate only operates in conjunction with the ALC and only
in Normal mode. The noise gate is asserted when:
Equation 1: (Signal at ADC – PGA gain – MIC Boost gain) < NGTH (Noise Gate Threshold Level)

3.13 Limiter Mode
When register 34, bit 8, is HIGH and ALC is enabled in register 32, bits 7-8 (ALCEN), the ALC block operates
in limiter mode. In this mode, the PGA gain is constrained to be less than or equal to the PGA gain setting when
the limiter mode is enabled. In addition, attack and decay times are faster in limiter mode than in normal mode
as indicated by the different lookup tables for these parameters for limiter mode. The following waveform
illustrates the behavior of the ALC in limiter mode in response to changes in various ALC parameters.

The ADC digital block performs 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion and signal processing, making available a
high quality audio sample stream the audio path digital interface. This block consists of a sigma-delta modulator,
digital decimator/ filter, 5-band graphic equalizer, 3D effects, high pass filter, and a notch filter. The equalizer
and 3D audio function block is a single resource that may be used by either the ADC or DAC, but not both at the
same time. The ADC coding scheme is in twos complement format and the full-scale input level is proportional
to VDDA. With a 3.3V supply voltage, the full-scale level is 1.0VRMS.
Registers that affect the ADC operation are:
R2 Power management enable/disable left/right ADC
R5 Digital passthrough of ADC output data into DAC input
R7 Sample rate indication bits (affect filter frequency scaling)
R14 Oversampling, polarity inversion, and filter controls for left/right ADC
R14 ADC high pass filter Audio Mode or Application Mode selection
R15 Left channel ADC digital volume control and update bit function
R16 Right channel ADC digital volume control and update bit function
4.1
Sampling / Oversampling Rate, Polarity Control, Digital Passthrough
The audio sample rate of the ADC is determined entirely by the IMCLK internal Master Clock frequency, which
is 128 times the base audio sample rate. A technique known as oversampling is used to improve noise and
distortion performance of the ADC, but this does not affect the final audio sample rate. The default
oversampling rate of the ADC is 64X (64 times the audio sample rate), but this can be changed to 128X for
greatly improved audio performance. The higher rate increases power consumption by only approximately three
milliwatts per channel, so for most applications, the improved quality is a good choice. There is almost zero
increased power to also run the DACs at 128X oversampling, and the best overall quality will be achieved when
both the DACs and ADCs are operated at the same oversampling rate.
The polarity of either ADC output signal can be changed independently on either ADC logic output as a feature
sometimes useful in management of the audio phase. This feature can help minimize any audio processing that
may be otherwise required as the data are passed to other stages in the system.
Digital audio passthrough allows the output of the ADCs to be directly sent to the DACs as the input signal to
the DAC for DAC output. In this mode of operation, the output data from the ADCs are still available on the
ADCOUT logic pin. However, any external input signal for the DAC will be ignored. The passthrough function
is useful for many test and application purposes, and the DAC output may be utilized in any way that is normally
supported for the DAC analog output signals.

4.2
ADC Digital Volume Control and Update Bit Functionality
The effective output audio volume of each ADC can be changed using the digital volume control feature. This
processes the output of the ADC to scale the output by the amount indicated in the volume register setting.
Included is a “digital mute” value which will completely mute the signal output of the ADC. The digital volume
setting can range from 0dB through -127dB in 0.5dB steps.
Important: The R15 and R16 update bits are write-only bits. The primary intended purpose of the update bit is
to enable simultaneous changes to both the left and right ADC volume values, even though these values must be
written sequentially. When there is a write operation to either R15 or R16 volume settings, but the update bit is
not set (value = 0), the new volume setting is stored as pending for the future, but does not go into effect. When
there is a write operation to either R15 or R16 and the update bit is set (value = 1), then the new value in the
register being written is immediately put into effect, and any pending value in the other ADC volume register is
put into effect at the same time.
4.3
ADC Programmable High Pass Filter
Each ADC is optionally supported by a high pass filter in the digital output path. Filter operation and settings
are always the same for both left and right channels. The high pass filter has two different operating modes. In
the audio mode, the filter is a simple first order DC blocking filter, with a cut-off frequency of 3.7Hz. In the
application specific mode, the filter is a second order audio frequency filter, with a programmable cut-off
frequency. The cutoff frequency of the high pass filter is scaled depending on the sampling frequency indicated
to the system by the setting in Register 7.
Registers that affect operation of the programmable high pass filter are:
R7 Sample rate indication to the system (affects filter coefficient internal scaling)
R14 High-pass enable/disable, operating mode, and cut-off frequency
The following table provides the exact cutoff frequencies with different sample rates as indicated to the system
by means of Register 7. The table shows the assumed actual numerical sample rates as determined by the system
clocks. Detailed response curves are provided in the Appendix section of this document.

Programmable Notch Filter
Each ADC is optionally supported by a notch filter in the digital output path. Filter operation and settings are
always the same for both left and right channels. A notch filter is useful to a very narrow band of audio
frequencies in a stop band around a given center frequency. The notch filter is enabled by setting register 27, bit
7 (NFCEN), to 1. The center frequency is programmed by setting registers 27, 28, 29, and 30, bits 0 to 6
(NFA0[13:7], NFA0[6:0], NFA1[13:7], NFA1[6:0]), with two’s compliment coefficient values calculated using
table __.
Registers that affect operation of the notch filter are:

Important: The register update bits are write-only bits. The update bit function is important so that all filter
coefficients actively being used are changed simultaneously, even though these register values must be written
sequentially. When there is a write operation to any of the filter coefficient settings, but the update bit is not set
(value = 0), the value is stored as pending for the future, but does not go into effect. When there is a write
operation to any coefficient register, and the update bit is set (value = 1), then the new value in the register being
written is immediately put into effect, and any pending coefficient value is put into effect at the same time.
Coefficient values are in the form of 2’s-complement integer values, and must be calculated based upon the
desired filter properties. The mathematical operations for calculating these coefficients are detailed in the

The DAC digital block uses 24-bit signal processing to generate analog audio with a 16-bit digital sample stream
input. This block consists of a sigma-delta modulator, digital decimator/filter, and optional 5-band graphic
equalizer/3D effects block, and a dynamic range compressor/limiter. The DAC coding scheme is in twos
complement format and the full-scale output level is proportional to VDDA. With a 3.3V supply voltage, the
full-scale output level is 1.0VRMS.
Registers that affect the DAC operation are:
R3 Power management enable/disable left/right DAC
R5 Digital passthrough of ADC output data into DAC input
R7 Sample rate indication bits (affect filter frequency scaling)
R10 Softmute, Automute, oversampling options, polarity controls for left/right DAC
R11 Left channel DAC digital volume value; update bit feature
R12 Right channel DAC digital volume value; update bit feature
5.1
DAC Soft Mute
Both DACs are initialized with the SoftMute function disabled, which is a shared single control bit. Softmute
automatically ramps the DAC digital volume down to zero volume when enabled, and automatically ramps the
DAC digital volume up to the register specified volume level for each DAC when disabled. This feature
provides a tool that is useful for using the DACs without introducing pop and click sounds.
5.2
DAC AutoMute
The analog output of both DACs can be automatically muted in a no signal condition. Both DACs share a single
control bit for this function. When automute is enabled, the analog output of the DAC will be muted any time
there are 1024 consecutive audio sample values with a zero value. If at any time there is a non-zero sample
value, the DAC will be un-muted, and the 1024 count will be reinitialized to zero.
5.3
DAC Sampling / Oversampling Rate, Polarity Control, Digital Passthrough
The sampling rate of the DAC is determined entirely by the frequency of its input clock and the oversampling
rate setting. The oversampling rate of the DAC can be changed to 128X for improved audio performance at
slightly higher power consumption. Because the additional supply current is only 1mA, in most applications the
128X oversampling is preferred for maximum audio performance.
The polarity of either DAC output signal can be changed independently on either DAC analog output as a feature
sometimes useful in management of the audio phase. This feature can help minimize any audio processing that
may be otherwise required as the data are passed to other stages in the system.
Digital audio passthrough allows the output of the ADCs to be directly sent to the DACs as the input signal to
the DAC for DAC output. In this mode of operation, the external digital audio signal for the DAC will be

ignored. The passthrough function is useful for many test and application purposes, and the DAC output may be
utilized in any way that is normally supported for the DAC analog output signals.
5.4
DAC Digital Volume Control and Update Bit Functionality
The effective output audio volume of each DAC can be changed using the digital volume control feature. This
processes the output of the DAC to scale the output by the amount indicated in the volume register setting.
Included is a “digital mute” value which will completely mute the signal output of the DAC. The digital volume
setting can range from 0dB through -127dB in 0.5dB steps.
Important: The R11 and R12 update bits are write-only bits. The primary intended purpose of the update bit is
to enable simultaneous changes to both the left and right DAC volume values, even though these values must be
written sequentially. When there is a write operation to either R11 or R12 volume settings, but the update bit is
not set (value = 0), the new volume setting is stored as pending for the future, but does not go into effect. When
there is a write operation to either R11 or R12 and the update bit is set (value = 1), then the new value in the
register being written is immediately put into effect, and any pending value in the other DAC volume register is
put into effect at the same time.
5.5
DAC Automatic Output Peak Limiter / Volume Boost
Both DACs are supported by a digital output volume limiter/boost feature which can be useful to keep output
levels within a desired range without any host/processor intervention. Settings are shared by both DAC channels.
Registers that manage the peak limiter and volume boost functionality are:
R24 Limiter enable/disable, limiter attack rate, boost decay rate
R25 Limiter upper limit, limiter boost value
The operation of the peak limiter is shown in the following figure. The upper signal graphs show the time
varying level of the input and output signals, and the lower graph shows the gain characteristic of the limiter.
When the signal level exceeds the limiter threshold value by 0.5dB or greater, the DAC digital signal level will
be attenuated at a rate set by the limiter attack rate value. When the input signal level is less than the boost lower
limit by 0.5dB or greater, the DAC digital volume will be increased at a rate set by the boost decay rate value.
The default boost gain value is limited not to exceed 0dB (zero attenuation).

Figure 13: DAC Digital Limiter Control
The limiter may optionally be set to automatically boost the DAC digital signal level when the signal is more
than 0.5dB below the limiter threshold. This can be useful in applications in which it is desirable to compress
the signal dynamic range. This is accomplished by setting the limiter boost register bits to a value greater than
zero. If the limiter is disabled, this boost value will be applied to the DAC digital output signal separate from
other gain affecting values.

5-Band Equalizer
The NAU88C22 includes a 5-band graphic equalizer with low distortion, low noise, and wide dynamic range.
The equalizer is applied to both left and right channels. The equalizer is grouped with the 3D Stereo
Enhancement signal processing function. Both functions may be assigned to support either the ADC path, or the
DAC path, but not both paths simultaneously.
Registers that affect operation of the 5-Band Equalizer are:

Each of the five equalizer bands is independently adjustable for maximum system flexibility, and each offers up
to 12dB of boost and 12dB of cut with 1dB resolution. The high and the low bands are shelving filters (highpass and low-pass, respectively), and the middle three bands are peaking filters. Details of the register value

3D Stereo Enhancement
NAU88C22 includes digital circuitry to provide flexible 3D enhancement to increase the perceived separation
between the right and left channels, and has multiple options for optimum acoustic performance. The equalizer
is grouped with the 3D Stereo Enhancement signal processing function. Both functions may be assigned to
support either the ADC path, or the DAC path, but not both paths simultaneously.
Registers that affect operation of 3D Stereo Enhancement are:
R18 Assign equalizer to DAC path or to ADC path (default = ADC path)
R41 3D Audio depth enhancement setting
The amount of 3D enhancement applied can be programmed from the default 0% (no 3D effect) to 100% in
register 41, bits 0 to 3 (DEPTH3D), as shown in Table __. Note: 3D enhancement uses increased gain to
achieve its effect, so that the source signal may need to be attenuated by up to 6dB to avoid clipping.

Companding
Companding is used in digital communication systems to optimize signal-to-noise ratios with reduced data bit
rates, using non-linear algorithms. NAU88C22 supports the two main telecommunications companding
standards on both the transmit and the receive sides: A-law and µ-law. The A-law algorithm is primarily used in
European communication systems and the µ -law algorithm is primarily used by North America, Japan, and
Australia. . Companding converts 13 bits (µ -law) or 12 bits (A-law) to 8 bits using non-linear quantization.
The companded signal is an 8bit word containing sign (1-bit), exponent (3-bits) and mantissa (4-bits)
Following are the data compression equations set in the ITU-T G.711 standard and implemented in the NAU88C22:
5.9
µ -law
F(x) = ln( 1 + µ|x|) / ln( 1 + µ)
-1 ≤ x ≤ 1
with µ=255 for the U.S. and Japan
5.10 A-law
with A=87.6 for Europe
The register affecting companding operation is:
R5 Enable 8-bit mode, enable DAC companding, enable ADC companding
The companded signal is an 8-bit word consisting of a sign bit, three bits for the exponent, and four bits for the
mantissa. When companding is enabled, the PCM interface must be set to an 8-bit word length. When in 8-bit
mode, the Register 4 word length control (WLEN) is ignored.

Analog Outputs
The NAU88C22 features six different analog outputs. These are highly flexible and may be used individually or
in pairs for many purposes. However, they are grouped in pairs and named for their most commonly used stereo
application end uses. The following sections detail key features and functions of each type of output. Included
is a description of the associated output mixers. These mixers are separate internal functional blocks that are
important toward understanding all aspects of the analog output section.
Important: For analog outputs depopping purpose, when powering up speakers, headphone, AUXOUTs,
certain delays are generated after enabling sequence. However, the delays are created by MCLK and sample
rate register. For correct operation, sending I2S signal no earlier than 250ms after speaker or headphone
enabled and MCLK appearing.
6.1
Main Mixers (LMAIN MIX and RMAIN MIX)
Each left and right channel is supported by an independent main mixer. This mixer combines signals from a
various available signal sources internal to the device. Each mixer may also be selectively enabled/disabled as
part of the power management features. The outputs of these mixers are the only signal source for the
headphone outputs, and the primary signal source for the loudspeaker outputs.
Each mixer can accept either or both the left and right digital to analog (DAC) outputs. Normally, the left and
right DAC is mixed into the associated left and right main output mix. This additional capability to mix opposite
DAC channels enables switching the left and right DAC outputs to the opposite channel, or mixing together the
left and right DAC signals – all without any processor or host intervention and processing overhead.
Each mixer also can also combine signals directly from the respective left or right AUX input, and from the
output of the respective ADC Mix/Boost stage output. Each of these paths may be muted, or have an applied
selectable gain between -15dB and +6dB in 3dB steps.
Registers that affect operation of the Main Mixers are:
R3
R49
R50
R51

Auxiliary Mixers (AUX1 MIXER and AUX2 MIXER)
Each auxiliary analog output channel is supported by an independent mixer dedicated to the auxiliary output
function. This mixer combines signals from a various available signal sources internal to the device. Each
mixer may also be selectively enabled/disabled as part of the power management features.
Unlike the main mixers, the auxiliary mixers are not identical and combine different signal sets internal to the
device. These mixers in conjunction with the auxiliary outputs greatly increase the overall capabilities and
flexibility of the NAU88C22.
The AUX1 mixer combines together any or all of the following:
Left Main Mixer output
Right Main Mixer output
Left DAC output
Right DAC output
Right ADC Mix/Boost stage output
The AUX2 mixer combines together any or all of the following:
Left Main Mixer output
Left DAC output
Left ADC Mix/Boost stage output

Registers that affect operation of the Auxiliary Mixers are:

R56 Signal source selection for the AUX2 mixer
R57 Signal source selection for the AUX1 mixer
6.3
Right Speaker Submixer
The right speaker submixer serves two important functions. One is to optionally invert the output from the Right
Main Mixer as an optional signal source for the right channel loudspeaker output driver. This inversion is
normal and necessary in typical applications using the loudspeaker drivers.
The other function of the right speaker submixer is to mix the RAUXIN input signal directly into the right
channel speaker output driver. This enables the RAUXIN signal to be output on the right loudspeaker channel,
but not be mixed to any other output. The traditional purpose of this path is to support an old-style beep sound,
such as traditionally generated by a microprocessor output toggle bit. On the NAU88C22, this traditional
function is supported by a full quality signal path that may be used for any purpose. The volume for this path
has a selectable gain from -15dB through +6dB in 3dB step increments.
There is no separate power management control feature for the Right Speaker Submixer. The register that
affects the Right Speaker Submixer is:
R43 Input mute controls, volume for RAUXIN path
6.4
Headphone Outputs (LHP and RHP)
These are high quality, high current output drivers intended for driving low impedance loads such as headphones,
but also suitable for a wide range of audio output applications. The only signal source for each of these outputs
is from the associated left and right Main Mixer. Power for this section is provided from the VDDA pin. Each
driver may be selectively enabled/disabled as part of the power management features.
Each output can be individually muted, or controlled over a gain range of -57dB through +6dB in 3dB steps.
Gain changes for the two headphone outputs can be coordinated through use of an update bit feature as part of
the register controls. Additionally, clicks that could result from gain changes can be suppressed using an
optional zero crossing feature.
Registers that affect the headphone outputs are:
R2 Power management control for the left and right headphone amplifier
R52 Volume, mute, update, and zero crossing controls for left headphone driver
R53 Volume, mute, update, and zero crossing controls for right headphone driver
Important: The R52 and R53 update bits are write-only bits. The primary intended purpose of the update bit is
to enable simultaneous changes to both the left and right headphone output volume values, even though these
two register values must be written sequentially. When there is a write operation to either R52 or R53 volume
settings, but the update bit is not set (value = 0), the new volume setting is stored as pending for the future, but
does not go into effect. When there is a write operation to either R52 or R53 and the update bit is set (value = 1),
then the new value in the register being written is immediately put into effect, and any pending value in the other
headphone output volume register is put into effect at the same time.
Zero-Crossing controls are implemented to suppress clicking sounds that may occur when volume setting
changes take place while an audio input signal is active. When the zero crossing function is enabled (logic = 1),
any volume change for the affected channel will not take place until the audio input signal passes through the
zero point in its peak-to-peak swing. This prevents any instantaneous voltage change to the audio signal caused
by volume setting changes. If the zero crossing function is disabled (logic = 0), volume changes take place
instantly on condition of the Update Bit, but without regard to the instantaneous voltage level of the affected
audio input signal.

Speaker Outputs
These are high current outputs suitable for driving low impedance loads, such as an 8-ohm loudspeaker. Both
outputs may be used separately for a wide range of applications, however, the intended application is to use both
outputs together in a BTL (Bridge-Tied-Load, and also, Balanced-Transformer-Less) configuration. In most
applications, this configuration requires an additional signal inversion, which is a feature supported in the right
speaker submixer block.
This inversion is normal and necessary when the two speaker outputs are used together in a BTL (Bridge-TiedLoad, and also, Balanced-Transformer-Less) configuration. In this physical configuration, the RSPKOUT signal
is connected to one pole of the loudspeaker, and the LSPKOUT signal is connected to the other pole of the
loudspeaker. Mathematically, this creates within the loudspeaker a signal equal to (Left-Right). The desired
mathematical operation for a stereo signal is to drive the speaker with (Left+Right). This is accomplished by
implementing an additional inversion to the right channel signal. For most applications, best performance will
be achieved when care is taken to insure that all gain and filter settings in both the left and right channel paths to
the loudspeaker drivers are identical.
Power for the loudspeaker outputs is supplied via the VDDSPK pin, and ground is independently provided as the
VSSPK pin. This power option enables an operating voltage as high as 5Vdc and helps in a system design to
prevent high current outputs from creating noise on other supply voltage rails or system grounds. VSSPK must
be connected at some point in the system to VSSA, but provision of the VSSPK as a separate high current
ground pin facilitates managing the flow of current to prevent “ground bounce” and other ground noise related
problems.
Each loudspeaker output may be selectively enabled/disabled as part of the power management features.
Registers that affect the loudspeaker outputs are:
R3 Power management control of LSPKOUT and RSPKOUT driver outputs
R3 Speaker bias control (BIASGEN) set logic = 1 for maximum power and VDDSPK > 3.60Vdc
R48 Driver distortion mode control
R49 Disable boost control for speaker outputs for VDDSPK 3.3V or lower
R54 Volume (gain), mute, update bit, and zero crossing control for left speaker driver
R55 Volume (gain), mute, update bit, and zero crossing control for right speaker driver
Important: The R49 boost control option is set in the power-on reset condition for high voltage operation of
VDDSPK. If VDDSPK is greater than 3.6Vdc, the R49 boost control bits should be remain at the power-on
default settings. This insures reliable operation of the part, proper DC biasing, and optimum scaling of the signal
to enable the output to achieve full scale output when VDDSPK is greater than VDDA. In the boost mode, the
gain of the output stage is increased by a factor of 1.5 times the normal gain value.
Important: The R54 and R55 update bits are write-only bits. The primary intended purpose of the update bit is
to enable simultaneous changes to both the left and right headphone output volume values, even though these
two register values must be written sequentially. When there is a write operation to either R54 or R55 volume
settings, but the update bit is not set (value = 0), the new volume setting is stored as pending for the future, but
does not go into effect. When there is a write operation to either R54 or R55 and the update bit is set (value = 1),
then the new value in the register being written is immediately put into effect, and any pending value in the other
headphone output volume register is put into effect at the same time.
Zero-Crossing controls are implemented to suppress clicking sounds that may occur when volume setting
changes take place while an audio input signal is active. When the zero crossing function is enabled (logic = 1),
any volume change for the affected channel will not take place until the audio input signal passes through the
zero point in its peak-to-peak swing. This prevents any instantaneous voltage change to the audio signal caused
by volume setting changes. If the zero crossing function is disabled (logic = 0), volume changes take place
instantly on condition of the Update Bit, but without regard to the instantaneous voltage level of the affected
audio input signal.
The loudspeaker drivers may optionally be operated in an ultralow distortion mode. This mode may require
additional external passive components to insure stable operation in some system configurations. No external
components are required in normal mode speaker driver operation. Distortion performance in normal operation
is excellent, and already suitable for almost every application.

Auxiliary Outputs
These are high current outputs suitable for driving low impedance loads such as headphones or line level loads.
Power for these outputs is supplied via the VDDSPK pin, and ground is also independently provided as the
VSSPK pin. This power option enables an operating voltage as high as 5Vdc and helps in a system design to
prevent high current outputs from creating noise on other supply voltage rails or system grounds. VSSPK must
be connected at some point in the system to VSSA, but provision of the VSSPK as a separate high current
ground pin facilitates managing the flow of current to prevent “ground bounce” and other ground noise related
problems.
Each auxiliary output driver may be selectively enabled/disabled as part of the power management features.
Registers that affect the auxiliary outputs are:
R3 Power management control of AUXOUT1 and AUXOUT2 outputs
R3 Speaker bias control (BIASGEN) set logic = 1 for maximum power and VDDSPK > 3.60Vdc
R49 Disable boost control for AUXOUT1 and AUXOUT2 for VDDSPK 3.3Vdc or lower
R56 Mute, gain control, and input selection controls for AUXOUT2
R57 Mute, gain control, and input selection controls for AUXOUT1
Important: The R49 boost control option is set in the power-on reset condition for high voltage operation of
VDDSPK. If VDDSPK is greater than 3.6Vdc, the R49 boost control bits should be remain at the power-on
default settings. This insures reliable operation of the part, proper DC biasing, and optimum scaling of the signal
to enable the output to achieve full scale output when VDDSPK is greater than VDDA. In the boost mode, the
gain of the output stage is increased by a factor of 1.5 times the normal gain value.
An optional alternative function for these outputs is to provide a virtual ground for an external headphone device.
This is for eliminating output capacitors for the headphone amplifier circuit in applications where this type of
design is appropriate. In this type of application, the AUXOUT output is typically operated in the muted
condition. In the muted condition, and with the output configured in the non-boost mode (also requiring that
VDDSPK < 3.61Vdc), the AUXOUT output DC level will remain at the internal VREF level. This the same
internal DC level as used by the headphone outputs. Because these DC levels are nominally the same, DC
current flowing through the headphone in this mode of operation is minimized. Depending on the application,
one or both of the auxiliary outputs may be used in this fashion.

Miscellaneous Functions
7.1
Slow Timer Clock
An internal Slow Timer Clock is supplied to automatically control features that happen over a relatively periods
of time, or time-spans. This enables the NAU88C22 to implement long time-span features without any
host/processor management or intervention.
Two features are supported by the Slow Timer Clock. These are an optional automatic time out for the zerocrossing holdoff of PGA volume changes, and timing for debouncing of the mechanical jack detection feature.
If either feature is required, the Slow Timer Clock must be enabled.
The Slow Timer Clock is initialized in the disabled state. The Slow Timer Clock is controlled by only the
following register:
R7 Sample rate indication select, and Slow Timer Clock enable
The Slow Timer Clock rate is derived from MCLK using an integer divider that is compensated for the sample
rate as indicated by the R7 sample rate register. If the sample rate register value precisely matches the actual
sample rate, then the internal Slow Timer Clock rate will be a constant value of 128ms. If the actual sample rate
is, for example, 44.1kHz and the sample rate selected in R7 is 48kHz, the rate of the Slow Timer Clock will be
approximately 10% slower in direct proportion of the actual vs. indicated sample rate. This scale of difference
should not be important in relation to the dedicated end uses of the Slow Timer Clock.

7.2
General Purpose Inputs and Outputs (GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3) and Jack Detection
Three pins are provided in the NAU88C22 that may be used for limited logic input/output functions. GPIO1 has
multiple possible functions, and may be either a logic input or logic output. GPIO2 and GPIO3 may be either
line level analog inputs, or logic inputs dedicated to the purpose of jack detection. GPIO2 and GPIO3 do not
have any logic output capability or function. Only one GPIO can be selected for jack detection.
If a GPIO is selected for the jack detection feature, the Slow Timer Clock must be enabled. The jack detection
function is automatically “debounced” such that momentary changes to the logic value of this input pin are
ignored. The Slow Timer Clock is necessary for the debouncing feature.
Registers that control the GPIO functionality are:
R8 GPIO functional selection options
R9 Jack Detection feature input selection and functional options
If a GPIO is selected for the jack detection function, the required Slow Timer Clock determines the duration of
the time windows for the input logic debouncing function. Because the logic level changes happen
asynchronously to the Slow Timer Clock, there is inherently some variability in the timing for the jack detection
function. A continuous and persistent logic change on the GPIO pin used for jack detection will result in a valid
internal output signal within 2.5 to 3.5 periods of the Slow Timer Clock. Any logic change of shorter duration
will be ignored.
The threshold voltage for a jack detection logic-low level is no higher than 1.0Vdc. The threshold voltage for a
jack detection logic-high level is no lower than 1.7Vdc. These levels will be reduced as the VDDC core logic
voltage pin is reduced below 1.9Vdc.
If the RLIN or LLIN input pin is used for the GPIO function, the analog signal path should be configured to be
disconnected from its respective PGA input. This will not cause harm to the device, but could cause unwanted
noise introduced through the PGA path.
7.3
Automated Features Linked to Jack Detection
Some functionality can be automatically controlled by the jack detection logic. This feature can be used to
enable the internal analog amplifier bias voltage generator, and/or enable analog output drivers automatically as
a result of detecting a logic change at a GPIO pin assigned to the purpose of jack detection. This eliminates any
requirement for the host/processor to perform these functions.
The internal analog amplifier bias generator creates the VREF voltage reference and bias voltage used by the
analog amplifiers. The ability to control it is a power management feature. This is implemented as a logical
“OR” function of either the debounced internal jack detection signal, or the ABIASEN control bit in Register 1.
The bias generator will be powered if either of these control signals is enabled (value = 1).
Power management control of four different outputs is also optionally and selectively subject to control linked
with the jack detection signal. The four outputs that can be controlled this way are the headphone driver signal
pair, loudspeaker driver signal pair, AUXOUT1, and AUXOUT2. Register settings determine which outputs
may be enabled, and whether they are enabled by a logic 1 or logic 0 value. Output control is a logical “AND”
operation of the jack detection controls, and of the register control bits that normally control the outputs. Both
controls must be in the “ON” condition for a given output to be enabled.
Registers that affect these functions are:
R9 GPIO pin selection for jack detect function, jack detection enable, VREF jack enable
R13 bit mapped selection of which outputs are to be enabled when jack detect is in a logic 1 state
R13 bit mapped selection of which outputs are to be enabled when jack detect is in a logic 0 state

Clock Selection and Generation
The NAU88C22 has two basic clock modes that support the ADC and DAC data converters. It can accept
external clocks in the slave mode, or in the master mode, it can generate the required clocks from an external
reference frequency using an internal PLL (Phase Locked Loop). The internal PLL is a fractional type scaling
PLL, and therefore, a very wide range of external reference frequencies can be used to create accurate audio
sample rates.
Separate from this ADC and DAC clock subsystem, audio data are clocked to and from the NAU88C22 by
means of the control logic described in the Digital Audio Interfaces section. The audio bit rate and audio
sample rate for this data flow are managed by the Frame Sync (FS) and Bit Clock (BCLK) pins in the Digital
Audio Interface.
It is important to understand that the sampling rate for the ADC and DAC data converters is not determined by
the Digital Audio Interface, and instead, this rate is derived exclusively from the Internal Master Clock (IMCLK).
It is therefore a requirement that the Digital Audio Interface and data converters be operated synchronously, and
that the FS, BCLK, and IMCLK signals are all derived from a common reference frequency. If these three
clocks signals are not synchronous, audio quality will be reduced.
The IMCLK is always exactly 256 times the sampling rate of the data converters. Also note that IMCLK should
not exceed 12.288MHz under any condition.
IMCLK is output from the Master Clock Prescaler. The prescaler reduces by an integer division factor the input
frequency input clock. The source of this input frequency clock is either the external MCLK pin, or the output
from the internal PLL Block.
Registers that are used to manage and control the clock subsystem are:
R1 Power management, enable control for PLL (default = disabled)
R6 Master/slave mode, clock scaling, clock selection
R7 Sample rate indication (scales DSP coefficients and timing – does NOT affect actual sample rate
R8 MUX control and division factor for PLL output on GPIO1
R36 PLL Prescaler, Integer portion of PLL frequency multiplier
R37 Highest order bits of 24-bit fraction of PLL frequency multiplier
R38 Middle order bits of 24-bit fraction of PLL frequency multiplier
R39 Lowest order bits of 24-bit fraction of PLL frequency multiplier
In Master Mode, the IMCLK signal is used to generate FS and BCLK signals that are driven onto the FS and
BCLK pins and input to the Digital Audio Interface. FS is always IMCLK/256 and the duty cycle of FS is
automatically adjusted to be correct for the mode selected in the Digital Audio Interface. The frequency of
BCLK may optionally be divided to optimize the bit clock rate for the application scenario.
In Slave Mode, there is no connection between IMCLK and the FS and BCLK pins. In this mode, FS and BLCK
are strictly input pins, and it is the responsibility of the system designer to insure that FS, BCLK, and IMCLK
are synchronous and scaled appropriately for the application.

Phase Locked Loop (PLL) General Description
The PLL may be optionally used to multiply an external input clock reference frequency by a high resolution
fractional number. To enable the use of the widest possible range of external reference clocks, the PLL block
includes an optional divide-by-two prescaler for the input clock, a fixed divide-by-four scaler on the PLL output,
and an additional programmable integer divider that is the Master Clock Prescaler.
The high resolution fraction for the PLL is the ratio of the desired PLL oscillator frequency (f 2), and the
reference frequency at the PLL input (f1). This can be represented as R = f2/f1, with R in the form of a decimal
number: xy.abcdefgh. To program the NAU88C22, this value is separated into an integer portion (“xy”), and a
fractional portion, “abcdefgh”. The fractional portion of the multiplier is a value that when represented as a 24bit binary number (stored in three 9-bit registers on the NAU88C22), very closely matches the exact desired
multiplier factor.
To keep the PLL within its optimal operating range, the integer portion of the decimal number (“xy”), must be
any of the following decimal values: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12. The input and output dividers outside of the PLL
are often helpful to scale frequencies as needed to keep the “xy” value within the required range. Also, the
optimum PLL oscillator frequency is in the range between 90MHz and 100MHz, and thus, it is best to keep f 2
within this range.
In order to operate in the 96kHz and 192kHz sampling modes, the following 3 bits need to set.
1. PLL49MOUT bit R72[2]
2. Master clock select bit R6[8].
3. ADCB_OVER (ADC Bias current Override) R72[5]
In summary, for any given design, choose:
IMCLK = desired Master Clock = (256)*(desired codec sample rate)
f2 = (4)*(P)(IMCLK), where P is the Master Clock Prescale integer value; optimal f 2: 90MHz< f2 0.546*fs

1. Stop Band Attenuation (dB) – the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band)
2. Pass-band Ripple – any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region
3. Note that this delay applies only to the filters and does not include other latencies, such as from the serial data interface
