APPLICATIVE SUGGESTIONS

3.1 STAND-BY AND MUTE FUNCTIONS

3.1.1 (A) Microprocessor Application

In order to avoid annoying "Pop-Noise" during Turn-On/Off transients, it is necessary to guarantee the right St-

by and mute signals sequence.It is quite simple to obtain this function using a microprocessor (Fig. 4 and 5).

At first St-by signal (from

µP) goes high and the voltage across the St-by terminal (Pin 11) starts to increase

exponentially. The external RC network is intended to turn-on slowly the biasing circuits of the amplifier, this to

avoid "POP" and "CLICK" on the outputs.

When this voltage reaches the St-by threshold level, the amplifier is switched-on and the external capacitors in

series to the input terminals (C1, C3) start to charge.

It's necessary to mantain the mute signal low until the capacitors are fully charged, this to avoid that the device

goes in play mode causing a loud "Pop Noise" on the speakers.

A delay of 100-200ms between St-by and mute signals is suitable for a proper operation.
