6.3.7.2.1 Programmable Channel Gain and Digital Volume Control

The device has a programmable digital volume control with a range from –80dB to 47dB in steps of 0.5dB with the option to mute the channel recording. The digital volume control value can be changed dynamically while the record channel is powered up and recorded. During volume control changes, the soft ramp-up or ramp-down volume feature is used internally to avoid any audible artifacts. Soft-stepping can be entirely disabled using the ADC_DSP_DISABLE_SOFT_STEP (P0_R114_D[1]) register bit.

The digital volume control setting is independently available for each digital microphone record channel. However, the device also supports an option to gang up the volume control setting for all channels together using the channel 1 digital volume control setting, regardless if channel 1 is powered up or powered down. This gang-up can be enabled using the ADC_DSP_DVOL_GANG (P0_R114_D[0]) register bit.

The table below shows the programmable options available for the digital volume control.

Table 6-41 Digital Volume Control (DVC) Programmable Settings
P0_R82_D[7:0] : ADC_CH1_DVOL[7:0]DVC SETTING FOR OUTPUT CHANNEL 1
0000 0000 = 0dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to mute
0000 0001 = 1dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to –80dB
0000 0010 = 2dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to –79.5dB
0000 0011 = 3dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to –79dB
……
1010 0000 = 160dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to –0.5dB
1010 0001 = 161d (default)Output channel 1 DVC is set to 0dB
1010 0010 = 162dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to 0.5dB
……
1111 1101 = 253dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to 46dB
1111 1110 = 254dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to 46.5dB
1111 1111 = 255dOutput channel 1 DVC is set to 47dB

Similarly, the digital volume control setting for output channel 2 to channel 4 can be configured using the CH2_DVOL (P0_R87) to CH4_DVOL (P0_R95) register bits, respectively.

The internal digital processing engine soft ramps up the volume from a muted level to the programmed volume level when the channel is powered up, and the internal digital processing engine soft ramps down the volume from a programmed volume to mute when the channel is powered down. This soft-stepping of volume is done to prevent abruptly powering up and powering down the record channel. This feature can also be entirely disabled using the ADC_DSP_DISABLE_SOFT_STEP (P0_R114_D[1]) register bit.

The programmble channel digital volume control feature is not applicable if the PLL is turned off. For setting channel attenuation, user can configure this by using the programmable high pass filter coefficients as described in programmable coefficient registers in B0_P11.
