Deemphasis Filter (DEEM)
The built-in digital deemphasis filter is designed to
operate at 44.1 kHz. Deemphasis is ON when DEEM
is HIGH, and OFF when DEEM is LOW.
Attenuation (MDT, MCK, MLEN)
The digital attenuation mode is selected when
MODE is LOW. The attenuator operates by multi-
plying the internal 6-bit up/down counter’s output
data with the signal data.
The direction of the 6-bit up/down counter is con-
trolled by the level on MUTE (down when MUTE is
HIGH, and up when MUTE is LOW). The count is
advanced on the rising edge of ATCK.
When the count reaches 0 (down) or 63 (up), the
counter automatically stops.
The gain is set by the counter contents DATT as fol-
lows.

Upon system initialization or when MODE changes
state, DATT is set to 63, which corresponds to the
maximum gain of 0 dB as shown in table 2.

Soft Mute (SMUTE)
Soft mute mode is selected when MODE is HIGH.
The up/down counter is switched to internal clock
drive, and soft mute operation is controlled by
MUTE only.
When MUTE goes HIGH, the up/down counter
counts down. The total time to go from 0 to maxi-
mum mute is 1024/fs. This corresponds to approxi-
mately 23.2 ms at fs = 44.1 kHz.

When MUTE is LOW, soft mute is released. The
attenuation counter output counts up, increasing the
gain. The time taken to return to 0 dB is also 1024/fs.
Soft mute operation is shown in figure 2.
Upon system initialization or when MODE changes
state, mute is released, which corresponds to the
maximum gain of 0 dB.
