CS42L56
4.5.3 Efficiency
As discussed in previous sections, the amplifiers internal to the CS42L56 operate from one of two sets of
rail voltages, based upon the needs of the signal being amplified or the total gain/attenuation settings. The
power curves for the two modes of operation are shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28.
This graph details the power supplied to a load versus the power drawn from the supply for each of the
three use cases.
