Boosted Haptic Drivers with Integrated DSP, Waveform Memory, Closed‑Loop Algorithms and LRA/VCM Protection

The CS40L25 / CS40L25B family of haptic drivers integrate a self-contained haptic signal generator with the Cirrus Logic Halo Core™ DSP. Both hardware and signal processing are resonance-aware and designed specifically for optimal drive of highly-resonant LRAs or VCMs for switch-replacement and gaming applications. A Class D driver provides an advanced closed-loop architecture for superior power supply rejection ratio and a complementary output stage, while a digitally controlled voltage boost converter driver extends battery voltages up to 11 volts. The elevated VBST supply allows these devices to deliver up to 5.3 watts into a 6 Ω load at one percent THD+N. The CS40L25 supports basic haptics mode on hardware platforms with one GPI using the I2S interface. The CS40L25B supports hardware platforms using four GPI input pins.
