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 certain period of time from the falling edge of the CE pulse.

Insert a buffer when using it as a reference voltage for an external circuit. VCC 100k VCT 17 100k CXA2546Q GND (6) Power-off mute When VCC goes below 5 V, the output stage bias of the fader output pins FNTO1, FNTO2, REO1, and REO2 is turned off and the pins go to high impedance. This operation prevents popping noises caused by the output pin potential deviating from VCC/2 when the power is turned off. —17— CXA2546Q Example of Representative Characteristics Tone control frequency response 20 15dB Voltage (dB) 10 BASS MID TREBLE 0 –10 –15dB –20 1 10 100 1k 10k 100k Frequency (Hz) Loudness frequency response 10 VRC=0dB Voltage (dB) 0 –10 VRC=–10dB VRC=–20dB –20 VRC=–30dB –30 VRC=–40dB –40 1 10 100 1k Frequency (Hz) —18— 10k 100k CXA2546Q Package Outline Unit : mm 48PIN QFP (PLASTIC) 15.3 ± 0.4 + 0.1 0.15 – 0.05 + 0.4 12.0 – 0.1 0.15 36 25 24 13.5 37 48 + 0.2 0.1 – 0.1 13 12 0.8 + 0.15 0.3 – 0.1 0.24 M 0.9 ± 0.2 1 + 0.35 2.2 – 0.15 PACKAGE STRUCTURE SONY CODE QFP-48P-L04 EIAJ CODE QFP048-P-1212 JEDEC CODE PACKAGE MATERIAL EPOXY RESIN LEAD TREATMENT SOLDER / PALLADIUM PLATING LEAD MATERIAL 42/COPPER ALLOY PACKAGE MASS 0.7g NOTE : PALLADIUM PLATING This product uses S-PdPPF (Sony Spec.-Palladium Pre-Plated Lead Frame). —19—
