Description of Operation
1) Det Pin (Pin 7)
This is the external pin for the detector during AVLS mode. The attack time is determined by the internal
charging buffer and the external capacitor. The recovery time is determined by both the 80k impedance inside
the IC and the external capacitor.
2) RF_Out (Pin 9) / RF_In (Pin 10)
These are the two external pin for the power supply's ripple filter. It provides a regulated 0.92 × Vcc to the
internal circuits. The rejection ratio is determined by the resistors inside the IC and the two external capacitors.

The bass boost circuitry is designed to provide a 9dB
gain at 100Hz for C = 0.1µF.
The cut off frequency is determined by:
