Attenuator data
The signal can be attenuated by inputting attenuation data (A3 to A10).
The attenuation specified by the attenuation data is given by the following formula:
Note: The attenuation is 0 dB when the data value is 7F (hexadecimal).
However, if A10 (the MSB) is 1, the A3 to A9 data is ignored and the prior attenuation setting is retained.
If the attenuation level is changed from 0 dB to –
∞ dB, the IC performs a soft muting operation. The soft muting time is
1/Fs
× 1024. Also, the time required to change the attenuation follows the slope of the soft muting time.
If new attenuation data is input while the attenuation is changing, the attenuation level starts to change from the current
level to the newly specified level at that point.
Note: If the IC is initialized when the MODE pin is low, the IC is initialized with serial data values of
A0 = A1 = A10 = low, and A3 to A9 = high.
However, the LAT/DB1 must be held high during this initialization.
When MODE is high: parallel input mode
In this mode, digital bass boost, deemphasis, and soft muting settings are specified with the LAT/DB1 , SH/EMP,
DAT/DB2, and MT pins. It is not possible to set the attenuation data in this mode.
Digital bass boost flags
Deemphasis flag
The deemphasis function operates
when Fs is 44.1 kHz.
See page 9 for details on the digital bass
boost frequency characteristics.
* Test mode: This mode is provided for testing
the bass boost function.
It should not be used during normal operation.
Soft muting setting
The LC78858V uses the built-in digital attenuator to
implement a soft muting function. If the input level
applied to the MT pin is changed from low to high, the
attenuation changes from 0 dB to –
∞ dB. Inversely, if
the MT pin is changed from high to low, the attenuation
changes from –
∞ dB to 0 dB.
The time required for the change is 1/fs
× 1024.
