APPLICATIONSUGGESTION

(A) MicroprocessorApplication
In order to avoid annoying ”Pop-Noise” during
Turn-On/Off transients, it is necessary to guarantee the right St-by and mute signals sequence.
It is quite simple to obtain this functionusing a microprocessor(Fig.1 and 2).
At first St-by signal (from mP) goes high and the
voltage across the St-by terminal (Pin 7) starts to
increase exponentially. The external RC network
is intended to turn-on slowly the biasing circuits of

the amplifier, this to avoid ”POP” and ”CLICK” on
the outputs.
When this voltage reaches the St-by threshold
level, the amplifier is switched-onand the external
capacitors in series to the input terminals (C3,
C5) start to charge.
It’s necessaryto mantain the mute signal low until
the capacitors are fully charged, this to avoid that
the device goes in play mode causing a loud ”Pop
Noise”on the speakers.
A delay of 100-200ms between St-by and mute
signals is suitable for a properoperation.

(B) Low Cost Application
In low cost applications where the mP is not present, the suggestedcircuit is shown in fig.3.
The St-by and mute terminals are tied together
and they are connected to the supply line via an

externalvoltage divider.
The device is switched-on/off from the supply line
and the external capacitor C4 is intended to delay
the St-by and mute threshold exceeding, avoiding
”Popping”problems.
