CS3318

5.6

Muting Controls

The CS3318 provides flexible muting capabilities to complement its comprehensive volume control abilities.

Each channel’s mute state may be controlled on an individual channel basis, by any of 3 master mute con-

trols, and by the hardware MUTE input pin.

The mute state of any channel within the CS3318 is determined by the logical OR of four conditions, and

the channel will mute if any one or more of the conditions are met. These conditions are:

1.

The channel’s individual mute condition is set.

2.

One or more of the channel’s unmasked master mute conditions are set.

3.

The hardware mute input is enabled and active.

4.

The channel’s effective volume (See Equation 1 on page 19) is less than -96 dB.

The CS3318 incorporates zero-crossing detection capabilities, and all muting changes are implemented as

dictated by the zero-crossing detection settings (see “Zero-Crossing Detection” on page 22).

5.6.1

Individual Channel Mute Controls

The CS3318 provides 8 individual channel mute controls. These controls can be used to individually mute

each of the input/output channels independent of all other volume and mute settings.

Individual channel mute control is accomplished by setting or clearing the channel’s corresponding

MuteChX bit in the Mute Control register.

5.6.2

Master Mute Controls

The CS3318 master mute controls allow the user to simultaneously control the mute state of all channels,

or a user-defined subset of all channels within a device. A total of 3 master mute controls, M1_Mute,

M2_Mute, and M3_Mute, are provided for comprehensive and flexible control.

Master mute control is accomplished by setting or clearing the MX_Mute bit in the corresponding Master

Control register. Each master mute control affects only those channels unmasked in its corresponding

Master X Mask register.

5.6.3

Hardware Mute Control

The CS3318 implements a hardware MUTE input pin to allow the user to control the mute state of all chan-

nels with an external level-active signal. By default, the MUTE input is configured for active low operation,

and all channels will be held in a mute state whenever this input is low.

For enhanced flexibility, setting the MutePolarity bit will configure the MUTE input pin for active high op-

eration. Additionally, the EnMuteIn bit may be cleared to disable the CS3318’s response to the MUTE in-

put signal.
