ISD-DEMO8101 User's Manual The ISD-DEMO8101 is a SOP8 demo board for ISD8101 series. It is available to demonstrate basic functionality and to make it easy to try different configurations of components and component values. In the standard configuration, there are no pins on any of the input/output pads on the PCB, and may be either soldered with wires or jumper pins. As a fast way to test, it is found that the larger size "E-Z Hook" style clip lead probe wires can attach easily to the holes around the outside edge of the PCB. The picture below illustrates all the input controls and BTL speaker output. JCE JSE R6 R3 Ground ACP JON R10 ACN VDD VSS Power SPN SPP Ground R4 R1 CE Point Speaker Figure 1: ISD-DEMO8101EVB Pins and Jumpers Definition Sept, 2010 Rev 1.0 Page 1 / 8 Figure 2: ISD-DEMO8101EVB Possible Connections Hardware Connections: Connect an 8 or larger loading speaker to SPP and SPN. Connect a power supply to the related terminals. Please ensure the polarity of the power is correct to avoid any damages to the ISD8101 device. Connect CE either to VDD or Ground, and CE is active High Unity gain set of inputs: LPN and LPP are configured for low gain configurations. In the single ended use scenario, the signal may be applied only to the LPN input. A 20dB gain set of inputs: ACN and ACP are configured for high gain configurations. In the single ended use scenario, the signal should be applied only to the ACN input. Another set of high gain inputs, DCN and DCP, that have the same gain as for ACN and ACP, but that are DC coupled to the device input Jumper JON: install to cause the amplifier to be always "on" since CE is shorted to VDD. Jumper JCE: Connect the chip enable input to the CE connection point on the PCB. This is must be installed if an external CE control voltage will be used to control the device. Jumper JSE: Connect if the device is used in the "single ended" configuration. Sept, 2010 Rev 1.0 Page 2 / 8 Operations: Standalone Operations: Below are four common ways that parts such as the ISD8101 are used in audio circuits. To use this user guide, it is best to first identify which of these configurations most closely matches the desired application scenario. Best performance is always achieved by using the differential configuration, and when this can be used, difficult noise/pop/click issues can be most reduced. Figure 3: Single-Ended Design Controlled by Chip Enable. Lowest parts count using just one input, and an external controller manages the Chip Enable CE pin for best performance. i) Connect jumper JCE, and then CE depends on the CE point control voltage. Thus an external CE control voltage should be used to control the device. ii) Connect jumper JSE for single-ended input. iii) Connect power supply to VDD and ground to VSS. iv) Connect 8 (or larger) load speaker to SPP and SPN. v) Insert the input audio signal to either Unity Gain Input LPN (0dB gain configuration) or High Gain Input ACN (20dB gain configuration). Figure 4: Single-Ended Design, Always-On Case (Chip Enable tied to Vdd). Lowest parts count using just one input, but no external controller is available to manage the Chip Enable CE pin. The device is always enabled by connection of the Chip Enable pin directly to Vdd. i) Connect jumper JON, and thus CE is always ON. ii) Connect jumper JSE for single-ended input. iii) Connect power supply to VDD and ground to VSS. iv) Connect 8 (or larger) load speaker to SPP and SPN. v) Insert the input audio signal to either Unity Gain Input LPN (0dB gain configuration) or High Gain Input ACN (20dB gain configuration).

Differential inputs are used, and are best such as when filtering a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal and handling other difficult signal input design requirements. An external controller manages Chip Enable. i) Connect jumper JCE, and then CE depends on the CE point control voltage. Thus an external CE control voltage should be used to control the device. ii) Connect power supply to VDD and ground to VSS. iii) Connect 8 (or larger) load speaker to SPP and SPN. iv) Insert the input audio signal to either Unity Gain Differential Inputs LPN and LPP (0dB gain configuration) or High Gain Differential Inputs ACN and ACP (20dB gain configuration). Figure 6: Differential Input Design, Always-On Case (Chip Enable tied to Vdd). Differential inputs are used, and are best such as when filtering a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal and handling other difficult signal input design requirements. No external controller is available to manage the Chip Enable CE pin. The device is enabled at all times by connection of the Chip Enable CE pin directly to Vdd. i) Connect jumper JON, and thus CE is always ON. ii) Connect power supply to VDD and ground to VSS. iii) Connect 8 (or larger) load speaker to SPP and SPN. iv) Insert the input audio signal to either Unity Gain Differential Inputs LPN and LPP (0dB gain configuration) or High Gain Differential Inputs ACN and ACP (20dB gain configuration).
