C Register Description
Zero-Crossing Detection (ZCD)
Zero-crossing detection limits distortion in the output
signal during volume transitions by delaying the transi-
tion until the mixer output crosses the internal bias volt-
age. A timeout period (typically 60ms) forces the
volume transition if the mixer output signal does not
cross the bias voltage.
1 = Zero-crossing detection is enabled.
0 = Zero-crossing detection is disabled.
Differential Input Configuration (
Δ
IN_)
The inputs INA_ and INB_ can be configured for mono
differential or stereo single-ended operation.
1 = IN_ is configured as a mono differential input with
IN_2 as the positive and IN_1 as the negative input.
0 = IN_ is configured as a stereo single-ended input
with IN_2 as the right and IN_1 as the left input.
Preamplifier Gain (PGAIN_)
The preamplifier gain of INA_ and INB_ can be pro-
grammed by writing to PGAIN_.
00 = 0dB
01 = +9dB
10 = +20dB
11 = Reserved
The MAX9877 is controlled through five I
