SONY CXA2506

CXA2506Q
Electronic Volume
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The CXA2506Q is a 2-channel electronic volume
IC. A 34-bit serial data input controls the level and
characteristics of the output signal. It may be used
in car stereos and general audio systems.
Features
• Loudness (Full boost at –32 dB or less of VRC)
• Volume control
(from 0 dB to –87 dB, –∞ dB: Fine (1 dB-step)
Coarse (8 dB-step)
• Balance
• Tone control
(3-band, 2 dB-step from –15 dB to +15 dB)
• Fader
(2 dB-step to –20 dB, –25 dB, –35 dB, –45 dB, –60
dB, –∞ dB)
• Input and gain selector (4 channels)
• Serial data control (DATA, CLK, CE)

Reset is performed automatically when power is first supplied to the IC; there is no reset pin.
The following table shows the respective statuses of various settings after a reset has been performed.
However, from the time when power is first supplied until the first data transfer, keep CE high by pulling it up to
VCC, etc.

(4) Zero-cross detector and Timer
A built-in zero-cross detection circuit is used to detect the zero-cross points of the input signal. When data
arrived at the IC, they are executed at the next zero-cross point or when there is no input signal. This is to
minimize 'click' noise during the transition of levels.
The timer circuit is added to ensure that the data is executed even when a zero-cross point is not detected
after a pre-determined period of time from the falling edge of the CE pulse.

(6) Power-off Mute
This function mutes the output pins FNTO1, FNTO2, REO1 and REO2, when the VCC goes below 5V, by
turning off the bias of the output stage of the fader circuit. By so doing, the 'pop' noise caused by the drop
in these pins potential from VCC/2 during power-off can be avoided.
