DAC AUTO-MUTE

The DAC digital mute and volume controls are described earlier in Table 25.

The DAC also incorporates an analogue auto-mute, which is enabled by setting DAC_AUTOMUTE.

When the auto-mute is enabled, and a series of 1024 consecutive zero-samples is detected, the DAC

output is muted in order to attenuate noise that might be present in output signal path. The DAC

resumes normal operation as soon as digital audio data is detected.

Note: The DAC_AUTOMUTE bit should not be set when the BEEP generator is used.

DAC SLOPING STOPBAND FILTER

Two DAC filter types are available, selected by the register bit DAC_SB_FLT. When operating at

lower sample rates (e.g. during voice communication) it is recommended that the sloping stopband

filter type is selected (DAC_SB_FLT=1) to reduce out-of-band noise which can be audible at low DAC

sample rates. See “Digital Filter Characteristics” for details of DAC filter characteristics.
