10 Functional Description
The NAU8220 uses charge pump mechanism to get the full output signal swing. The charge pump uses
the charge pump capacitor to put a negative voltage onto VEE, the charge pump decoupling node. An
additional capacitor is needed from VDD to GND, pin 10. A low resistance one micro-farad capacitor is
recommended for each of these capacitors. All of these connections need to be short. The negative
voltage developed on pin 6 VEE enables the outputs to swing both positive and negative from GND.
Signal gain is set by the ratio of external resistors. The input signal can be either single ended or
differential. The typical single ended application diagram is shown in figure 1 and differential in figure 2.
For single ended inputs, the signal polarity of the output is inverted. A gain of two using R1 = 15 K Ohms
and R2 = 30 K Ohms is recommended for good performance. R3 of 10 K Ohms helps to reject unwanted
signals by balancing the inputs. For larger gains, R2 can be increased. R1 can also be decreased, but 10
K Ohms is the minimum recommended. For example, a gain of three could use R1 = 10 K Ohms, R2 = 30
K Ohms, and R3 = 7.5 K Ohms. For better performance R3 and R6 should be approximately equal to
R1||R2 and R4||R5. Gains larger than ten are not recommended. Large gains will have more noise and
distortion than the nominal gain of two. The following table shows the R1 and R2 resistance values for
different gain settings.

Table 2 Recommended resistor values for different gain settings
Load of the line driver outputs is from 600 Ohms minimum to 10 K Ohms nominal. With VDD at 3.3 Volts,
the maximum output signal is 2 Volts RMS. Capacitive loads up to 200 pF can be driven. If larger
capacitive loads such as 2.2 nF (CPC) need to be driven, then a resistance of at least 33 Ohms (RPC)
should be added in series to provide both stability and protection. RPC and CPC are resistance and
capacitance of the protection circuit as shown in Figure 1 and Figure2. If this resistor and capacitor are
added for protection, then the components need to be properly rated. For example, 100 volts rating for
the capacitor may be needed to survive an output surge.
For best output offset voltages, the inputs can be AC coupled.
Upon the application of power to the VDD pin, the part will enter into a pop reduction mode which applies
a resistive loading to the two outputs. After the VEE pin reaches more than about 1.5 Volts, a power up
sequence begins that places the outputs into the Mute condition. This condition is held until both the
MUTEB pin is held high and the UVP pin exceeds about 1.25 Volts. When the MUTEB pin rises, the
outputs will follow the input signals. This pin should not be raised until a valid signal is available. The
MUTEB pin is driven by a logic signal to GND or VDD.
The MUTE condition can be entered from normal operation by pulling MUTEB low. If power is interrupted,
the UVP pin can be used to force the part into the MUTE condition.
Datasheet Revision 2.0
Page 7 of 19
NAU8220
The UVP pin can force the part into the Mute condition when the power supply voltage drops below the
desired voltage. If this function is not needed, the UVP pin should be connected to VDD. Feed back is
provided by a nominal 5 µA current developed across the external resistors applied. The turn on voltage
sets the ratio of R11 and R12 compared to the internal 1.22 Volt reference. The formula for turn ON
voltage is VON = 1.22V * (R11 + R12)/R11 and the formula for the turn off voltage is VOFF= VON - (5uA *
R12).
For example, for a turn on voltage of 3.0 Volts and a turn off voltage of 2.5 volts, the calculated resistors
are R11 = 68.5kΩ and R12 = 100kΩ, or using standard values, R11 = 68kΩ and R12 = 100kΩ.
Important note: When using a LDO, the turn-on and turn-off voltages for the UVP should be set higher
than the sum of 3.3V and the minimum required voltage drop across the LDO, to ensure proper operation.
11 Amplifier circuits
NAU8220 can be used to implement the amplifier configurations in single ended and differential mode.
The following diagram shows the NAU8220 in single ended (inverting) and differential amplifier
configuration modes. Notice the similarities between these two configurations. The differential input
function is accomplished by duplicating the values used in single ended configuration. The required gain
can be achieved by properly selecting the R1 and R2 values as per the Table 2.
An ac coupling capacitor (Cin) is used to block the dc content from the input source. The input resistance
of the amplifier (Rin) together with the Cin will act as a high pass filter. So depending on the required cut
off frequency the Cin can be calculated by using the following formula
1/2
where
is the desired cut off frequency of the High pass filter.

12 Low Pass Filter Circuit
Many of the today’s Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) requires low pass filter circuit to remove the out
of band noise produced by the sigma-delta modulator. Most commonly used filter is multiple feedback
nd
(MFB) 2 order low pass filter. The advantage of the MFB filter is, it requires fewer components
nd
compared to the other filter configurations. The following diagrams show the 2 order Low pass filter in
single ended and differential mode.
The transfer function for the MFB filter (single ended mode) is

By comparing this equation with following the standard 2nd order Low pass filter equation, the component

The differential mode configuration can be achieved by duplicating the above example 1 values except
the C2. The C2 value in this configuration is half of the value of the single ended configuration.
