6.3.1.3 Efficiency and power saving modes

TAS2573 has multiple power-saving modes of operation designed to achieve the highest system level efficiency under all operating conditions. The device transitions from one mode to the next based on the configured mode and the signal condition. The transitions from one mode to another are automatic and designed to maintain high-performance audio levels during the transition of the modes.

EFFICIENCY_MODE[1:0] register allows for configuration of the Music efficiency and Noise gate modes of operation

Table 6-3 Efficiency Mode Control
EFFICIENCY_MODE[1:0] Configuration
00 Music Efficiency & Noise gate mode disabled
01 Noise gate mode only
10 Music Efficiency mode only
11 (default) Music Efficiency & Noise gate mode both enabled
