6.11 DAC Channel B Volume Control - Address 0Bh
6.11.1 Volume Control (Bits 7:0)
Function:
The digital volume control allows the user to attenuate the signal in 0.5 dB increments from 0 to -127 dB.
The Vol0 bit activates a 0.5 dB attenuation when set, and no attenuation when cleared. The Vol[7:1] bits
activate attenuation equal to their decimal equivalent (in dB). Example volume settings are decoded as
shown in Table 16. The volume changes are implemented as dictated by the DACSoft and DACZero-
Cross bits in the DAC Control 2 register (see Section 6.12.1).
6.12 DAC Control 2 - Address 0Ch
6.12.1 DAC Soft Ramp or Zero Cross Enable (Bits 7:6)
Function:
Soft Ramp Enable
Soft Ramp allows level changes, both muting and attenuation, to be implemented by incrementally ramp-
ing, in 1/8 dB steps, from the current level to the new level at a rate of 1 dB per 8 left/right clock periods.
See Table 17.
Zero Cross Enable
Zero Cross Enable dictates that signal-level changes, either by attenuation changes or muting, will occur
on a signal zero crossing to minimize audible artifacts. The requested level change will occur after a time-
out period between 512 and 1024 sample periods (10.7 ms to 21.3 ms at 48 kHz sample rate) if the signal
does not encounter a zero crossing. The zero cross function is independently monitored and implemented
for each channel. See Table 17.
Soft Ramp and Zero Cross Enable
Soft Ramp and Zero Cross Enable dictate that signal-level changes, either by attenuation changes or mut-
ing, will occur in 1/8 dB steps and be implemented on a signal zero crossing. The 1/8 dB level change will
occur after a time-out period between 512 and 1024 sample periods (10.7 ms to 21.3 ms at 48 kHz sam-
