4 Description of the audioprocessor

4.1 Input stages

In the basic configuration, one stereo pseudo differential (programmable as single-ended input) and three single-ended stereo inputs are available.
Pseudo differential stereo input (PD/SE4)
The PD input is implemented as a buffered pseudo differential stereo stage with 100kΩ input-impedance at each input. The attenuation is fixed to -3dB in order to adapt the incoming signal level. It is also configurable as single-ended input.
Single-ended stereo input (SE1, SE2, SE3)
The input-impedance at each input is 100kΩ and the attenuation is fixed to -3dB for incoming signals.

Figure 3. Input stage

4.2 AutoZero

The AutoZero allows a reduction of the number of pins as well as external components by canceling any offset generated by or before the In-Gain-stage (Please notice that externally generated offsets, e.g. generated through the leakage current of the coupling capacitors, are not canceled).
The auto-zeroing is started every time the input source is changed and needs max. 0.6ms for the alignment. To avoid audible clicks the Audio processor is muted before the loudness stage during this time.

In some cases, for example if the µP is executing a refresh cycle of the IIC-Bus­programming, it is not useful to start a new AutoZero-action because no new source is

selected and an undesired mute would appear at the outputs. For such applications, it can be switched in the AutoZero-Remain-Mode (Bit 6 of the subaddress-byte). If this bit is set to high, the AutoZero will not be invoked and the old adjustment-value remains.

4.3 Loudness

There are four parameters programmable in the loudness stage:

4.3.1 Attenuation

Figure 4 shows the attenuation as a function of frequency at fC = 400Hz
Figure 4. Loudness attenuation @ f

4.3.2 Peak frequency

Figure 6 shows the different Loudness shapes in low & high frequency boost.
Figure 6. Loudness attenuation, fc = 2.4kHz

4.3.4 Flat mode

In flat mode the loudness stage works as a 0dB to -15dB attenuator.

4.4 SoftMute

The digitally controlled SoftMute stage allows muting/demuting the signal with a I2C-bus programmable slope. The mute process can either be activated by the SoftMute pin or by
2
the I
C-bus. This slope is realized in a special S-shaped curve to mute slow in the critical
regions (see Figure 7).
For timing purposes the Bit0 of the I until the end of demuting.

4.5 SoftStep volume

When the volume-level is changed audible clicks could appear at the output. The root cause of those clicks
could either be a DC-Offset before the volume-stage or the sudden change of the envelope of the audio signal. With the SoftStep-feature both kinds of clicks could be reduced to a minimum and are no more audible.
Eight programmable softstep time from one step to the next are user selectable.

In this mode the DC-gain is increased by 4.4dB. In addition the programmed center frequency and quality factor is decreased by 25% which can be used to reach alternative center frequencies or quality factors.

In the test mode, which can be activated by setting bit D7 of the IIC subaddress byte and bit D0 of the testing audioprocessor byte, several internal signals are available at the SE2R pin. In this mode, the input resistance of 100kOhm is disconnected from the pin. Internal signals available for testing are listed in the data-byte specification.
