Note:
1. To prevent over-current protection shutdown of the device, ensure that the load impedance is never less than 100. If
a load impedance of less than 100 is presented to either LINEVOUTL or LINEVOUTR, the device may go into a
protective shutdown state where the charge pump will stop running and the device will shut down. It will take a
hardware reset to come out of this state (recycle the power supplies or hold /MUTE low for 1024 LRCLK cycles after
the low impedance load condition has been removed).
TERMINOLOGY
1. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the maximum theoretical full scale
output signal and the output with no input signal applied.
2. Total Harmonic Distortion (dB) – THD is the level of the rms value of the sum of harmonic distortion products relative to
the amplitude of the measured output signal.
3. All performance measurements carried out with 20kHz low pass filter, and where noted an A-weighted filter. Failure to
use such a filter will result in higher THD and lower SNR readings than are found in the Electrical Characteristics. The
low pass filter removes out of band noise; although it is not audible it may affect dynamic specification values.
4. Mute Attenuation – This is a measure of the difference in level between the full scale output signal and the output with
mute applied.
