LOUT1/ROUT1 OUTPUTS
The LOUT1 and ROUT1 pins can drive a 16Ω or 32Ω headphone or a line output (see Headphone
Output and Line Output sections, respectively). The signal volume on LOUT1 and ROUT1 can be
independently adjusted under software control by writing to LOUT1VOL and ROUT1VOL,
respectively. Note that gains over 0dB may cause clipping if the signal is large. Any gain setting below
0101111 (minimum gain) mutes the output driver. The corresponding output pin remains at the same
DC level (the reference voltage on the VREF pin), so that no click noise is produced when muting or
un-muting.
The analogue outputs have a zero cross detect feature to minimize audible clicks and zipper noise
when on gain changes (i.e. the updating of the gain value is delayed until the signal passes through
zero). By default, this includes a time-out function, which forces the gain to update if no zero crossing
occurs within a certain period of time.
