4.4.3 Low and high frequency boost
Figure 7 shows the different Loudness-shapes in low & high frequency boost.

4.5 Soft-mute
The digitally controlled soft-mute stage allows muting/demuting the signal with a I
2
C bus
programmable slope. The mute process can either be activated by the Mute pin or by the
I
2
C bus. This slope is realized in a special S-shaped curve to mute slow in the critical
regions (seeFigure 6).
For timing purposes the Bit 0 of the I
2
C bus output register is set to 1 from the start of muting
until the end of de-muting.

the mute -signal.
