FIGURE 4. The Tone Control Amplifier
Increasing the values of C2 and C3 decreases the turnover
and inflection frequencies: i.e., the Tone Control Response
Curves shown in Typical Performance Curves will shift left
when C2 and C3 are increased and shift right when C2 and
C3 are decreased. With C2
e
C3
e
0.0082, 2 dB steps are
achieved at 100 Hz and 10 kHz. Changing C2 and C3 to
0.01
m
F shifts the 2 dB per step frequency to 72 Hz and 8.3
kHz. If the tone control capacitors’ size is decreased these
frequencies will increase. With C2

0.0068
m
F the 2
dB steps take place at 130 Hz and 11.2 kHz.
FADER FUNCTION
The four fader functions are all independently adjustable
and therefore no balance control is needed. Emulating a
balance control is accomplished through software by simul-
taneously changing a channel’s front and rear faders by
equal amounts. To satisfy normal balance requirements the
faders have an attenuation range of 40 dB.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
Figure 5 shows the LMC1992’s timing diagram for its three
wire MICROWIRE interface. A controller’s data stream can
be any length; once the correct device address is received
by the LMC1992, any number of data bits can be sent; the
last nine bits occurring before ENABLE goes high are used
by the LMC1992. The first two bits in a valid data stream are
decoded and used as device address bits. The LMC1992
uses a unique address of 1,0. The LMC1992 will not re-
spond to information on the DATA line if any other address
is used. This allows other MICROWIRE serially programma-
ble devices to share the same three-wire communication
bus. When ENABLE goes high, any further serial data is
ignored and the contents of the shift register is transferred
to the data latches. Only when information is received by
the data latches do any function or setting changes take
place. The first three of nine bits select one of the
LMC1992s functions. The remaining six bits set the select-
ed function to the desired value or position.
A data bit is accepted as valid and clocked into an internal
shift register on each rising edge of the signal appearing at
the LMC1992s CLOCK input pin. Proper data interpretation
and operation is ensured when ENABLE makes its falling
transition during the time when CLOCK is low. Erroneous
operation will result if the ENABLE signal makes its falling
transition at any other time.
TL/H/10789–21
Note 1:
Negative transition on ENABLE clears previous address. Clock must be low during transition.
Note 2:
Additional don’t care states may be inserted here for ease of programming. (Optional.)
Note 3:
Positive transition on ENABLE latches in new data if the LMC1992 has been addressed. Clock can either be high or low during transition.
