Sound Processor
with Built-in 3-band Equalizer
BD37524FS
General Description
BD37524FS is a sound processor with built-in 3-band
equalizer for car audio. Other features are stereo 5ch
input selector, input-gain control, main volume,
loudness, 5ch fader volume, LPF for subwoofer, level
meter. It is equipped with an “Advanced switch circuit”,
which is an original ROHM technology that reduces
various switching noise (ex. No-signal, low frequency
likes 20Hz & large signal inputs). The “Advanced
switch” makes control of microcomputer easier and can
be used for designing high quality car audio systems.

Features
Reduced switching noise of input gain control,
mute, main volume, fader volume, bass, treble,
and loudness by using advanced switch circuit
Built-in differential input selector and 4
single-ended input selectors
Built-in ground isolation amplifier inputs, which is
ideal for external stereo input.
Built-in input gain controller reduces switching
noise for volume of a portable audio input.
Lesser number of external components due to
built-in 3-band equalizer filter, LPF for subwoofer,
loudness filter. This makes,it possible to control
the Q, Gv, fo of 3-band equalizer, fc of LPF, fo, and
Gv of loudness through I
2
C BUS.
A gain adjustment quantity of ±20dB with 1 dB
step gain adjustment is possible for bass, middle,
and treble.
Built-in subwoofer output terminals.
Energy-saving design resulting in low current
consumption is achieved by utilizing the Bi-CMOS
process. It has the advantage in quality over
scaling down the power heat control of the internal
regulators.
Input pins and output pins are organized and
separately laid out to keep the signal flow in one
direction which consequently, simplify pattern
layout of the set board and decrease the board
dimensions. .
It is possible to be controlled by a 3.3V / 5V I

Caution:
Operating the IC over the absolute maximum ratings may damage the IC. The damage can either be a short circuit between pins or an open circuit
between pins and the internal circuitry. Therefore, it is important to consider circuit protection measures, such as adding a fuse, in case the IC is operated over
the absolute maximum ratings.
