PINNING
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Input selector
The input to channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2) is determined by the input selector. The selection is made from the
following AF input signals:
IN1 L (pin 26); IN1 R (pin 28) or
IN2 L (pin 1); IN2 R (pin 3)
Where IN1 is an internal input signal and IN2 an external input signal.
Mode selector
For each channel (CH1 and CH2) there is a mode selector which selects between stereo, sound A and sound B in the
event of bilingual transmission. Both mode selectors can be controlled independently.

Headphone channel (CH2)
Volume control and balance
The stages for volume control for CH2 consist of two parts
for left and right. In each part the gain can be adjusted
between 0 and 62 dB in steps of 2 dB. An additional step
allows an attenuation of 90 dB. Both parts can be
controlled independently over the whole range, which
allows the balance to be varied by controlling the volume
of left and right.
Loudspeaker channel (CH1)
Volume control and balance
The loudspeaker channel (CH1) also consists of two parts
for volume control (left and right). In each part the gain
can be adjusted between + 16 dB and 62 dB in steps of
2 dB. An additional step allows an attenuation of 90 dB.
Both parts can be controlled independently over the
whole range, which allows the balance to be varied by
controlling the volume of left and right.
Stereo/pseudo stereo/spatial stereo mode
It is possible to select three modes. Stereo, pseudo or
spatial stereo. The pseudo stereo mode receives mono
transmissions and the stereo and spatial stereo mode
receives stereo transmissions.
Bass control
The bass control stage can be switched from an
emphasis of 15 dB to an attenuation of 12 dB for low
frequencies in steps of 3 dB.
Treble control
The treble control stage can be switched from + 12 dB to
12 dB in steps of 3 dB.
Bias and power supply
The TDA8421 includes a bias and power supply stage,
which generates a voltage of 12VCC with a low output
impedance and injector currents for the logic part.
Power-on reset
The on-chip power-on reset circuit sets the mute bit to
active, which mutes both the loudspeaker channel (CH1)
and the headphone channel (CH2). The muting can be
switched by transmission of the mute bit.
I2C bus receiver and data handling
Bus specification
The TDA8421 is controlled via the 2-wire I2C bus by a
microcomputer. The two wires (SDA - serial data, SCL -
serial clock) carry information between the devices
connected to the bus. Both SDA and SCL are bidirectional
lines, connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull up
resistor.
When the bus is free both lines are HIGH. The data on the
SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the
clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line can only
change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW.
The set up and hold times are specified in
AC CHARACTERISTICS.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is
HIGH is defined as a start condition. A LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH is defined as
a stop condition. The bus receiver will be reset by the
reception of a start condition. The bus is considered to be
busy after the start condition. The bus is considered to be
free again after a stop condition.
Module address
Data transmission to the TDA8421 starts with the module
address MAD.
The module address is determined by pin 16. When connected to ground MAD = 0; when connected to VCC MAD = 1.
Thus two TDA8421s can be selected within a system.
Fig.3 TDA8421 module address.

Subaddress
After the module address byte a second byte is used to select the functions for both channels:
CH1 - Volume left, volume right, bass, treble and switch functions
CH2 - Volume left, volume right and switch functions
The subaddress SAD is stored within the TDA8421. Table 1 defines the coding of the second byte after the module
address MAD.
Table 1 Second byte after module address MAD
Definition of 3rd byte
A third byte is used to transmit data to the TDA8421. Table 2 defines the coding of the third byte after module address
MAD and subaddress SAD.

Sequence of data transmission
After a power-on reset all eight functions have to be adjusted with eight data transmissions. It is recommended that data
information for switch functions in CH1 are transmitted last because all functions have to be adjusted when the muting
is switched off. The sequence of transmission of other data information is not critical.
The order of data transmission is shown in Figures 4 and 5. The number of data transmissions is unrestricted but before
each data byte the module address MAD and the correct subaddress SAD is required.

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“IC Package Databook”
(order code 9398 652 90011).
Soldering by dipping or by wave
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is
260 °C; solder at this temperature must not be in contact
with the joint for more than 5 seconds. The total contact
time of successive solder waves must not exceed
5 seconds.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but
the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the
specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg max). If the
printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling
may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the
temperature within the permissible limit.
Repairing soldered joints
Apply a low voltage soldering iron (less than 24 V) to the
lead(s) of the package, below the seating plane or not
more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the
soldering iron bit is less than 300 °C it may remain in
contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is
between 300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
