AK4373
Low Power Stereo DAC with HP/SPK-Amp
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AK4373 is a low power stereo 24bit DAC with an integrated stereo headphone amplifier and a
monaural speaker driver. It can be used for a variety of portable audio and media player applications,
including game consoles, dedicated headphone drivers, personal navigation devices, and portable
media players. The output drivers can be configured for three unique use cases: mono speaker driver or
single-ended ac-coupled headphones which can be used as stereo line-out, DC-coupled BTL
headphones and Pseudo Cap-less. The AK4373 operates off of a low-voltage power supply, ranging
from 2.2V to 3.6V. The output amplifiers operate at up to 4.0V of the headphone power supply. The
device is packaged in a space-saving 32-pin QFN package.

Table 3. Clock pins state in Clock Mode
■ Master Mode/Slave Mode
The M/S bit selects either master or slave mode. M/S bit = “1” selects master mode and “0” selects slave mode. When the
AK4373 is power-down mode (PDN pin = “L”) and exits reset state, the AK4373 is slave mode. After exiting reset state,
the AK4373 goes to master mode by changing M/S bit = “1”.
When the AK4373 is in master mode, LRCK and BICK pins are a floating state until M/S bit becomes “1”. LRCK and
BICK pins of the AK4373 should be pulled-down or pulled-up by a resistor (about 100k) externally to avoid the floating
state.

■ PLL Mode (PMPLL bit = “1”)
When PMPLL bit is “1”, a fully integrated analog phase locked loop (PLL) generates a clock that is selected by the PLL3-0
and FS3-0 bits. The PLL lock time is shown in Table 5, whenever the AK4373 is supplied to a stable clocks after PLL is
powered-up (PMPLL bit = “0”  “1”) or sampling frequency changes.

1) PLL Master Mode (PMPLL bit = “1”, M/S bit = “1”)
In this mode, the LRCK and BICK pins go to “L” and irregular frequency clock is output from the MCKO pin at MCKO bit
is “1” before the PLL goes to lock state after PMPLL bit = “0”  “1”. If MCKO bit is “0”, the MCKO pin goes to “L”
(Table 8).
After the PLL is locked, a first period of LRCK and BICK may be invalid clock, but these clocks return to normal state
after a period of 1/fs.
When sampling frequency is changed, the BICK and LRCK pins do not output irregular frequency clocks but go to “L” by
setting PMPLL bit to “0”.

■ PLL Master Mode (PMPLL bit = “1”, M/S bit = “1”)
When an external clock (11.2896MHz, 12MHz, 12.288MHz, 13.5MHz, 24MHz, 25MHz or 27MHz) is input to the MCKI
pin, the MCKO, BICK and LRCK clocks are generated by an internal PLL circuit. The MCKO output frequency is selected
by PS1-0 bits (Table 10) and the output is enabled by MCKO bit. The BICK output frequency is selected between 32fs or
64fs, by BCKO bit (Table 11).

■ PLL Slave Mode (PMPLL bit = “1”, M/S bit = “0”)
A reference clock of PLL is selected among the input clocks to the MCKI, BICK or LRCK pin. The required clock to the
AK4373 is generated by an internal PLL circuit. Input frequency is selected by PLL3-0 bits (Table 5).
a) PLL reference clock: MCKI pin
BICK and LRCK inputs must be synchronized with MCKO output. The phase between MCKO and LRCK is not
important. The MCKO pin outputs the frequency selected by PS1-0 bits (Table 10) and the output is enabled by MCKO bit.
Sampling frequency can be selected by FS3-0 bits (Table 6).

The external clocks (BICK and LRCK) must always be present whenever the DAC is in operation (PMDAC bit = “1”). If
these clocks are not provided, the AK4373 may draw excess current and it is not possible to operate properly because
utilizes dynamic refreshed logic internally. If the external clocks are not present, the DAC must be in the power-down
mode (PMDAC bit = “0”).

■ EXT Slave Mode (PMPLL bit = “0”, M/S bit = “0”)
When PMPLL bit is “0”, the AK4373 changes to EXT mode. Master clock is input from the MCKI pin, the internal PLL
circuit is not operated. This mode is compatible with I/F of a normal audio DAC. The clocks required to operate are MCKI
(256fs, 512fs or 1024fs), LRCK (fs) and BICK (32fs). The master clock (MCKI) should be synchronized with LRCK.
The phase between these clocks is not important. The input frequency of MCKI is selected by FS1-0 bits (Table 12).

The S/N of the DAC at low sampling frequencies is worse than at high sampling frequencies due to out-of-band noise. The
out-of-band noise can be improved by using higher frequency of the master clock. The S/N of the DAC output through
HPL/HPR pins at fs=8kHz is shown in Table 13.

■ EXT Master Mode (PMPLL bit = “0”, M/S bit = “1”)
The AK4373 becomes EXT Master Mode by setting PMPLL bit = “0” and M/S bit = “1”. Master clock is input from the
MCKI pin, the internal PLL circuit is not operated. The clock required to operate is MCKI (256fs, 512fs or 1024fs). The
input frequency of MCKI is selected by FS1-0 bits (Table 14).

■ System Reset
The PDN pin must be held to “L” upon power-up. The 4373 should be reset by bringing PDN pin “L” for 150ns or more.
All of the internal register values are initialized by the system reset. After exiting reset, VCOM, DAC, HPL, HPR, LOUT,
ROUT, SPP and SPN switch to the power-down state. The contents of the control register are maintained until the reset is
completed.
The DAC exits reset and power down states by MCKI after the PMDAC bit is changed to “1”. The DAC is in power-down
mode until MCKI is input.
■ Audio Interface Format
Three types of data formats are available and are selected by setting the DIF1-0 bits (Table 17). In all modes, the serial data
is MSB first, 2’s complement format. Audio interface formats can be used in both master and slave modes. LRCK and
BICK are output from the AK4373 in master mode, but must be input to the AK4373 in slave mode.

■ Digital EQ/HPF/LPF
The AK4373 performs high/low pass filter, stereo separation emphasis, gain compensation, five programmable biquads,
ALC (Automatic Level Control) and digital volume by digital domain for input data (Figure 46). HPF, LPF, FIL3, and EQ
blocks are IIR filters of 1st order. The filter coefficient of HPF, LPF, FIL3, and EQ blocks can be set to any value.
Refer to the section of “Five Programmable Biquads”, “ALC operation” and “Digital Output Volume” about five
programmable biquads, ALC and digital volume, respectively.
FIL3 coefficient also sets the attenuation of the stereo separation emphasis.
The combination of GN1-0 bit (Table 21) and EQ coefficient set the compensation gain.
FIL3 block becomes HPF when F3AS bits are “0” and become LPF when F3AS bits are “1”.
When EQ, HPF and LPF bits are “0”, EQ, HPF and LPF blocks become “through” (0dB). When each filter coefficient is
changed, each filter should be set to “through”.

■ ALC Operation
The ALC (Automatic Level Control) is controlled by ALC block when ALC bit is “1”.
1.
ALC Limiter Operation
During ALC limiter operation, when either Lch or Rch exceeds the ALC limiter detection level (Table 22), the AVL and
AVR values (same value) are attenuated automatically by the amount defined by the ALC limiter ATT step (Table 23).
When ZELMN bit = “0” (zero cross detection is enabled), the AVL and AVR values are changed by ALC limiter operation
at the individual zero crossing points of Lch and Rch or at the zero crossing timeout. ZTM1-0 bits set the zero crossing
timeout period of both ALC limiter and recovery operation (Table 24). When ALC output level exceeds full-scale, IVL and
IVR values are immediately (Period: 1/fs) changed. When ALC output level is less than full-scale, IVL and IVR values are
changed at the individual zero crossing point of each channels or at the zero crossing timeout.
When ZELMN bit = “1” (zero cross detection is disabled), AVL and AVR values are immediately (period: 1/fs) changed
by ALC limiter operation. Attenuation step is fixed to 1 step regardless of the setting of LMAT1-0 bits.
The attenuate operation is done continuously until the input signal level becomes ALC limiter detection level (Table 22) or
less. After completing the attenuate operation, unless ALC bit is changed to “0”, the operation repeats when the input
signal level exceeds LMTH1-0 bits.

2.
ALC Recovery Operation
ALC recovery operation wait for the WTM2-0 bits (Table 25) to be set after completing ALC limiter operation. If the input
signal does not exceed “ALC recovery waiting counter reset level” (Table 22) during the wait time, ALC recovery
operation is completed. The AVL and AVR values are automatically incremented by RGAIN1-0 bits (Table 26) up to the
set reference level (Table 27) with zero crossing detection which timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bits (Table 24). Then the
AVL and AVR are set to the same value for both channels. ALC recovery operation is executed at a period set by WTM2-0
bits. When zero cross is detected at both channels during the wait period set by WTM2-0 bits, ALC recovery operation
waits until WTM2-0 period and the next recovery operation is completed. If ZTM1-0 is longer than WTM2-0 and no zero
crossing occurs, ALC recovery operation is made at a period set by ZTM1-0 bits.
For example, when the current AVOL value is 30H and RGAIN1-0 bits are set to “01”, AVOL is changed to 32H by the
auto limiter operation and then the input signal level is gained by 0.75dB (=0.375dB x 2). When the AVOL value exceeds
the reference level (REF7-0), the AVOL values are not increased.
When
“ALC recovery waiting counter reset level (LMTH1-0)  Output Signal < ALC limiter detection level (LMTH1-0)”
during the ALC recovery operation, the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation is reset. When
“ALC recovery waiting counter reset level (LMTH1-0) > Output Signal”,
the waiting timer of ALC recovery operation starts.
ALC operation corresponds to the impulse noise. When the impulse noise is input, ALC recovery operation is faster than a
normal recovery operation (Fast Recovery Operation). When large noise is input to microphone instantaneously, quality of
small signal level in the large noise can be improved by this fast recovery operation. The speed of fast recovery operation
is set by RFST1-0 bits (Table 28).

When the registers for ALC operation (Limiter period, Recovery period and etc) are changed.
For example; when the change of the sampling frequency.
AVL7-0 and AVR7-0 bits set the gain of the volume control at ALC block (Table 30). The AVOL value is changed at zero
crossing or timeout. Zero crossing timeout period is set by ZTM1-0 bits.

When writing to the AVL7-0 and AVR7-0 bits continuously, the control register should be written by an interval more than
zero crossing timeout. If not, AVL and AVR are not changed since zero crossing counter is reset at every write operation.
If the same register value as the previous write operation is written to AVL and AVR, this write operation is ignored and
zero crossing counter is not reset. Therefore, AVL and AVR can be written by an interval less than zero crossing timeout.

(1) The AVL value becomes the start value if the AVL and AVR are different when the ALC starts. The wait time from
ALC bit = “1” to ALC operation start by AVL7-0 bits is at most recovery time (WTM2-0 bits) plus zero cross timeout
period (ZTM1-0 bits).
(2) Writing to AVL and AVR registers (09H and 0CH) is ignored during ALC operation. After ALC is disabled, the
AVOL changes to the last written data by zero crossing or timeout. When ALC is enabled again, ALC bit should be set
to “1” by an interval more than zero crossing timeout period after ALC bit = “0”.

■ De-emphasis Filter

■ Digital Output Volume
The AK4373 has a digital output volume (256 levels, 0.5dB step, Mute). The volume can be set by the DVL7-0 and
DVR7-0 bits. The volume is included in front of a DAC block. The input data of DAC is changed from +12 to –115dB or
MUTE. When the DVOLC bit = “1”, the DVL7-0 bits control both Lch and Rch attenuation levels. When the DVOLC bit
= “0”, the DVL7-0 bits control Lch level and DVR7-0 bits control Rch level. This volume has a soft transition function.
The DVTM bit sets the transition time between set values of DVL/R7-0 bits as either 1061/fs or 256/fs (Table 33). When
DVTM bit = “0”, a soft transition between the set values occurs (1062 levels). It takes 1061/fs (=24ms@fs=44.1kHz) from
00H (+12dB) to FFH (MUTE).

■ Soft Mute
Soft mute operation is performed in the digital domain. When the SMUTE bit changed to “1”, the output signal is
attenuated by  (“0”) during the cycle set by the DVTM bit. When the SMUTE bit is returned to “0”, the mute is
cancelled and the output attenuation gradually changes to the value set by the DVL/R7-0 bits during the cycle set of the
DVTM bit. If the soft mute is cancelled within the cycle set by the DVTM bit after starting the operation, the attenuation is
discontinued and returned to the value set by the DVL/R7-0 bits. The soft mute is effective for changing the signal source
without stopping the signal transmission (Figure 49).

■ Analog Mixing: Monaural input
When PMMIN bit is set to “1”, the mono input is powered-up. When MINH/S bits are set to “1”, the input signal from the
MIN+/MIN- pin is output to HP-Amp/Speaker-Amp. The external resisters Ri adjust the signal gain of MIN+/MIN- input.
If the Analog Mixing block will use as a single-ended, the MIN- pin should be connected to VSS1 in series with capacitor
to avoid induced external noise.(Figure 51)
When the headphone output type is Differential (HPBTL bit = “1”), HVDD should be the same as the voltage of AVDD to
use the path from MIN to HP-Amp(MINH bit = “1”).

■ Stereo Line Output (LOUT/ROUT pins)
The common voltage is 0.5 x HVDD when VBAT bit = “0” (Table 40). The load resistance is 10kΩ (min).
Stereo line out amplifier is shared with Headphone amplifier (HPBTL bit = PSEUDO bit = “0” in Table 38). When
PMHPL/R and HPMTN bits are “1”, the stereo line output is powered-up (Figure 52).
Stereo line out amplifier is prohibited from using headphone output at the same time.
■ Headphone Output
The power supply voltage for the Headphone-Amp is supplied from the HVDD pin and the output level is centered on the
HVDD/2 when VBAT bit = “0”. If HVDD voltage becomes lower, the output signal might be distorted while the amplitude
is maintained. The load resistance is 16 (min). HPBTL and PSEUDO bits select the output type, Single-ended or
Differential or Pseudo cap-less. When the HPBTL bit is “1”, HPL/HPR/SPP/SPN pins become HPL+/HPL-/HPR+/HPRpins, respectively. When the PSEUDO bit is “1”, the SPN pin become the HVCM pin. HPG bit selects the output voltage
(Table 38).

Table 38. Headphone-Amp Output Type and Output Voltage (x: Don’t care, N/A: Not available)
When the HPMTN bit is “0”, the common voltage of Headphone-Amp falls and the outputs (HPL/R and HPL+/- and
HPR+/- and HVCM pins) go to “L” (VSS2). When the HPMTN bit is “1”, the common voltage rises to HVDD/2 at VBAT
bit = “0”. A capacitor between the MUTET pin and ground reduces pop noise at power-up. Rise/Fall time constant is in
proportional to HVDD voltage and the capacitor at MUTET pin.
[Example]: A capacitor between the MUTET pin and ground = 1.0F±30%, HVDD=3.6V:
Rising time (0.8 x HVDD/2): 150ms(typ), 260ms(max) at HPMTN bit = “0”  “1”
Time until the common voltage goes to VSS2: 140ms(typ), 260ms(max) at HPMTN bit = “1”  “0”
When PMHPL and PMHPR bits are “0”, the Headphone-Amp is powered-down, and the outputs (HPL and HPR pins) go
to “L” (VSS2).

1) Single-ended Output (HPBTL bit = “0”, PSEUDO bit = “0”)
The cut-off frequency (fc) of Headphone-Amp depends on an external resistor and a capacitor. Table 39 shows the cut off
frequency and the output power for various resistor/capacitor combinations. The headphone impedance RL is 16. Output

2) Differential Output (HPBTL bit = “1” PSEUDO bit = “0”)
For differential output, no external AC coupling capacitor is required.
Power management (power up/down control) of L/Rch is controlled by setting PMHPL/PMHPR bits respectively. The
common voltage control of Headphone-Amp is controlled by setting HTMTN bit. The common voltage is shown in Table

3) Pseudo cap-less Output (HPBTL bit = “0”, PSEUDO bit =”1”)
In case of pseudo cap less, no external AC coupling capacitor is required as well as BTL mode. This pseudo cap less mode
is also available for normal 3-pin headphone mini jack while BTL mode requires a closed system with 4-wire connection.
Power management (power up/down control) of VCOM Amp for HP-Amp is controlled by setting PMHPL bit or PMHPR
bit. The common voltage control of Headphone-Amp and VCOM-Amp is controlled by setting HTMTN bit. The common
voltage is shown in Table 40. PSEUDO bit should be changed when both speaker and headphone amps are powered-down.
In this mode, HPBTL and DACS and MINS bits must be “0”.

<Headphone-Amp PSRR>
When HVDD is directly supplied from the battery in the mobile phone system, RF noise may influences headphone output
performance. When VBAT bit is set to “1”, HP-Amp PSRR for the noise applied to HVDD is improved. In this case,
HP-Amp common voltage is 0.64 x AVDD (typ). When AVDD is 3.3V, common voltage is 2.1V. Therefore, when HVDD
voltage becomes lower than 4.2V, the output signal will be clipped easily.

When a piezo speaker is used, two resistances more than 20 should be connected between SPP/SPN pins and speaker in
series, respectively, as shown in Figure 56. Zener diodes should be inserted between speaker and GND as shown in Figure
56, in order to protect SPK-Amp of the AK4373 from the power that the piezo speaker outputs when the speaker is
pressured. Zener diodes of the following zener voltage should be used.
0.92 x HVDD  Zener voltage of zener diodo (ZD in Figure 56)  HVDD+0.3V
Ex) In case of HVDD = 3.8V: 3.5V  ZD  4.1V

Internal registers may be written by using the 3-wire µP interface pins (CSN, CCLK and CDTI). The data on this interface
consists of Read/Write (Fixed to “1”), Register address (MSB first, 7bits) and Control data (MSB first, 8bits). Each bit is
clocked in on the rising edge (“”) of CCLK. Address and data are latched on the 16th CCLK rising edge (“”) after CSN

(2) I C-bus Control Mode (I2C pin = “H”)
The AK4373 supports the fast-mode I2C-bus (max: 400kHz). Pull-up resistors at SDA and SCL pins should be connected
to (DVDD+0.3)V or less voltage.
(2)-1. WRITE Operations
Figure 59 shows the data transfer sequence for the I2C-bus mode. All commands are preceded by START condition. A
HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates START condition (Figure 65). After the START
condition, a slave address is sent. This address is 7 bits long followed by the eighth bit that is a data direction bit (R/W).
The most significant six bits of the slave address are fixed as “001001”. The next bit is CAD0 (device address bit). This bit
identifies the specific device on the bus. The hard-wired input pin (CAD0 pin) sets these device address bits (Figure 60). If
the slave address matches that of the AK4373, the AK4373 generates an acknowledge and the operation is executed. The
master must generate the acknowledge-related clock pulse and release the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock
pulse (Figure 66). R/W bit value of “1” indicates that the read operation is to be executed. “0” indicates that the write
operation is to be executed.
The second byte consists of the control register address of the AK4373. The format is MSB first, and those most significant
bit is fixed to zeros (Figure 61). The data after the second byte contains control data. The format is MSB first, 8bits (Figure
62). The AK4373 generates an acknowledge after each byte is received. A data transfer is always terminated by STOP
condition generated by the master. A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines STOP
condition (Figure 65).
The AK4373 can perform more than one byte write operation per sequence. After receipt of the third byte the AK4373
generates an acknowledge and awaits the next data. The master can transmit more than one byte instead of terminating the
write cycle after the first data byte is transferred. After receiving each data packet the internal 6-bit address counter is
incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into the next address. If the address exceeds 4FH prior to
generating a stop condition, the address counter will “roll over” to 00H and the previous data will be overwritten.
The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock. HIGH or LOW state of the data line can
only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW (Figure 67) except for the START and STOP conditions.

(2)-2. READ Operations
Set the R/W bit = “1” for the READ operation of the AK4373. After transmission of data, the master can read the next
address’s data by generating an acknowledge instead of terminating the write cycle after the receipt of the first data word.
After receiving each data packet the internal 6-bit address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is automatically
taken into the next address. If the address exceeds 4FH prior to generating stop condition, the address counter will “roll
over” to 00H and the data of 00H will be read out.
The AK4373 supports two basic read operations: CURRENT ADDRESS READ and RANDOM ADDRESS READ.
(2)-2-1. CURRENT ADDRESS READ
The AK4373 contains an internal address counter that maintains the address of the last word accessed, incremented by one.
Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) were to address “n”, the next CURRENT READ operation would access
data from the address “n+1”. After receipt of the slave address with R/W bit “1”, the AK4373 generates an acknowledge,
transmits 1-byte of data to the address set by the internal address counter and increments the internal address counter by 1.
If the master does not generate an acknowledge but generates stop condition instead, the AK4373 ceases transmission.

Figure 63. CURRENT ADDRESS READ
(2)-2-2. RANDOM ADDRESS READ
The random read operation allows the master to access any memory location at random. Prior to issuing the slave address
with the R/W bit “1”, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation. The master issues start request, a slave
address (R/W bit = “0”) and then the register address to read. After the register address is acknowledged, the master
immediately reissues the start request and the slave address with the R/W bit “1”. The AK4373 then generates an
acknowledge, 1 byte of data and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does not generate an
acknowledge but generates stop condition instead, the AK4373 ceases transmission.

Notes:
- VSS1, VSS2 and VSS3 of the AK4373 must be distributed separately from the ground of external controllers.
- All digital input pins should not be left floating.
- When the AK4373 is EXT mode (PMPLL bit = “0”), a resistor and a capacitor of the VCOC pin are not needed.
- When the AK4373 is PLL mode (PMPLL bit = “1”), a resistor and a capacitor of the VCOC pin are shown in
Table 5.
- When piezo speaker is used, 2.6  4.0V power must be supplied to HVDD and 20 or more series resistors must
be connected to both SPP and SPN pins, respectively.
- When the AK4373 is used at master mode, LRCK and BICK pins are floating before M/S bit is changed to “1”.
Therefore, 100k around pull-up resistor must be connected to LRCK and BICK pins of the AK4373.
- If the Analog Mixing block is used as a single-ended, the MIN- pin must be connected to VSS1 in series with a
capacitor to avoid induced external noise.

1. Grounding and Power Supply Decoupling
The AK4373 requires careful attention to power supply and grounding arrangements. AVDD, DVDD and HVDD are
usually supplied from the system’s analog supply. If AVDD, DVDD and HVDD are supplied separately, the power-up
sequence is not critical. VSS1, VSS2 and VSS3 of the AK4373 must be connected to the analog ground plane. System
analog ground and digital ground must be connected together near to where the supplies are brought onto the printed circuit
board. Decoupling capacitors must be as close to the AK4373 as possible, with the small value ceramic capacitor being the
nearest.
2. Voltage Reference
VCOM is a signal ground of this chip. A 2.2F electrolytic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor attached to
the VCOM pin eliminates the effects of high frequency noise. No load current may be drawn from the VCOM pin. All
signals, especially clocks, should be kept away from the VCOM pin in order to avoid unwanted coupling into the AK4373.
3. Analog Outputs
The input data format for the DAC is 2’s complement. The output voltage is a positive full scale for 7FFFFFH(@24bit) and
a negative full scale for 800000H(@24bit). The Line Output-Amp, Headphone-Amp and Speaker-Amp outputs are
centered at HVDD/2 when VBAT bit is “0”. (Table 40)

(5) Set up the output digital volume (Addr: 0AH and 0DH)
When DVOLC bit is “1” (default), DVL7-0 bits set the volume of both channels. After DAC is powered-up, the
digital volume changes from default value (0dB) to the register setting value by the soft transition.
(6) Power up DAC: PMDAC bit = “0”  “1”
When ALC bit is “1”, ALC operation starts from the gain set by AVL/R7-0 bits.
(7) Power up headphone-amp: PMHPL = PMHPR bits = “0”  “1”
Output voltage of headphone-amp is still VSS2.
(8) Rise up the common voltage of headphone-amp: HPMTN bit = “0”  “1”
The rise time depends on HVDD and the capacitor value which connected with the MUTET pin. When
HVDD=3.3V and the capacitor value is 1.0F, the time constant is r = 100ms(typ), 250ms(max).
(9) Fall down the common voltage of headphone-amp: HPMTN bit = “1”  “0”
The fall time depends on HVDD and the capacitor value which connected with the MUTET pin. When
HVDD=3.3V and the capacitor value is 1.0F, the time constant is  f = 100ms(typ), 250ms(max).
If the power supply is powered-off or headphone-Amp is powered-down before the common voltage changes to
GND, the pop noise occurs. It takes twice of f that the common voltage changes to GND.
