PRODUCTION DATA
The PWM converts the input audio data into a switched signal of varying duty cycle. The PWM modulator is an advanced design with high bandwidth, low noise, low distortion, and excellent stability.
The output switching rate is selectable via I2C, register 0x02, and is synchronous to sync-clock input in target mode. In controller mode the sync-clock is an output.
When the device is operated in target mode, the sync pin is used to control the output stage switching frequency while in either MUTE or PLAY mode. The external clock must be applied before Hi-Z mode is exited and remain present until Hi-Z mode is entered again. During Hi-Z mode, the external clock signal is optional.
The four channels can be set to switch with 4 different phase to each other: 0, 30, 45 and 60 degree. The 45 degree setting is default and should be used unless a different phase setting is needed. With 30, 45 and 60 degree the supply ripple current will be minimum. This enables the use of smaller and lower cost external filtering components due to lower power supply ripple.
