GENERAL OPERATION
The TS3A225E is an audio headset switch device that detects the existence and polarity of a microphone
connected to a headset. Upon detection of a microphone the TS3A225E automatically connects a system analog
microphone pin to the appropriate audio jack connection. The device also routes the system microphone GND to
the proper jack connection.
The detection sequence is initiated via I2C command or the external trigger detection (DET_TRIGGER) pin. The
automatic routing feature can be disabled by I2C command. Additionally, all the switches of TS3A225E can be
manually controlled by I2C register. See the I2C register usage section for details.
EXTERNAL PIN CONNECTION
(1) HARDWARE MODE
The TS3A225E can be used in a non- I2C system in which the controls are performed via external pins. The
following table summarizes how the external pins should be connected in a non- I2C system:
PIN
CONNECT TO
SCL/SDA
VDD
I2C_ADDR_SEL VDD or GND
/MIC_Present
None
DET_TRIGGER
Rising edge initiates
detection
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In a non- I2C system, these two pins should be tied directly to VDD to emulate the default state
in an I2C commutation protocol.
In a non- I2C system this pin has no use and should be grounded.
This is an output pin and can be read to check whether microphone is detected. This pin will
be driven low upon microphone detection.
In a non- I2C system, this pin needs to be manually asserted to initiate a headset detection
sequence. A rising edge on this pin triggers the detection.
(2) I2C Mode
In an I2C system, the external pins should be connected as follows:
PIN
SCL/SDA
I2C_ADDR_SEL
CONNECT TO
I2C buses
VDD or GND
NOTE
SCL/SDA pins should be connected to the corresponding I2C buses in an I2C system
This pin is used to modify the device I2C address in an I2C system to avoid address conflict. The
address can be changed as follows:
/MIC_Present
DET_TRIGGER
None
Rising edge

I2C_ADDR_SEL

By default, this is an output pin. This pin will be driven low upon microphone detection and will
remain low until another detection event. In an I2S system, this pin can also serve as interrupt for
I2C register update. See the I2C register usage section for more details.
In an I2C system, detection sequence can be initiated via the I2C DET_TRIGGER register or this
DET_TRIGGER external pin. A rising edge on this pin triggers the detection.
MICROPHONE PRESENT INDICATOR
The TS3A225E detects whether or not a microphone is present on an inserted audio stereo jack. If a microphone
is detected, the TS3A225E pulls the /MIC_PRESENT pin low and also indicates the presence of the microphone
in an I2C register. The /MIC_PRESENT connection is an open-drain output with a maximum on resistance of 25
Ω. This makes the /MIC_PRESENT pin compatible with HDA standards (if /MIC_PRESENT is asserted low when
connected to an external 5.1 kΩ pull-up resistor, the effective series resistance of the MIC_PRESENT transistor
+ pull-up resistor will be changed by less than 0.5%).
