Instruction Manual

Input Mode Control
The MAX9796 has three flexible inputs that can be con-
figured as single-ended stereo inputs or differential
mono inputs. All input signals are summed into three
unique signals, Left (L), Right (R), and Mono (M), which
are routed to the output amplifiers. The bit B4 allows
the option of boosting low-level signals on INA. B4 can
be set as follows:
1 = Input A’s gain +20dB for low-level signals such as
FM receivers.
0 = Input A’s gain is either 0dB or +6dB as set by
IN+6dB (bit B3 of the Control Register).
Tables 5a and 5b show how the inputs–INA, INB, and
INC–are mixed to create the internal signals left (L),
right (R), and mono (M).
