CXA2502M
Application Note
The CXA2502M is a stereo Dolby B-C type NR IC like the CXA1560 series.
Few external parts and smaller package can be achieved because this IC has a built-in spectral skewing circuit
and the reduced number of pins for playback.
1) Power Supply
The CXA2502M is designed to operate on either single or dual power supply.
For dual power supply, connect VCT pin to GND, and GND pin to the negative power supply.
For single power supply, connect GND pin to GND. VCC/2, generated from the internal circuit, is output to
VCT pin.
Connect a by-pass capacitor between this pin and GND.
The operating voltage range is 7.0 to 16V, which satisfies the signal handling of 12dB specified by the Dolby
Laboratories.
2) Operation Mode Control
The CXA2502M has built-in electronic switches. The operations are controlled by the DC voltages of NRSW
and MODE control pins. Table 1 shows the switching truth tables.
For single power supply, VH, VM and VL correspond to VCC, VCC/2 and GND, respectivery.
For dual power supply, VH, VM and VL correspond to VCC, GND and VEE, respectively.
Refer to "threshold" on the characteristics graph for the thresholds of the control voltages. NRSW and MODE
control pins are connected to VCT via a 50kΩ resistor, so when the pin is open, VM condition results.

3) Reference level
The CXA2502M Dolby level is –6dBm (388mVrms). The reference level of the playback input pin (PB IN) is
defined as the levels which provide the line output level to the line output pin (LINE OUT) in NR OFF mode.
