DAC VOLTAGE OUTPUTS
The ADAV4601 has six DAC outputs, configured as 3-stereo
auxiliary DAC outputs. However, because the flow is customizable,
it is programmable. The output level is 1 V rms full scale. The DAC
outputs should have a 10 nF capacitor to ground for filtering out
high frequency noise. Following the filtering capacitor, a 10 μF
is required for dc blocking.
After reset, the DACs are in a power-down state. They can power
up quickly using the global power-up in the initialization control
register (0x0000). A popless and clickless power-up and power-
down are also possible.
In power critical applications, it is possible to use the Analog
Power Management 1 register (0x0005) to power up or power
down individual DACs.

PWM OUTPUTS
In the ADAV4601, the main outputs are available as four PWM
output channels, which are suitable for driving Class-D amplifiers.
After reset, the PWM channels are in a power-down state. Writing
to the miscellaneous control register (0x000A) enables the PWM
channels. To help ensure popless and clickless power-up and
power-down, there is an enable/disable pattern that is specially
constructed to bring the PWM channels from a zero condition
to a 50/50 duty-cycle square wave (effectively, a zero signal into
the PWM block). This takes 365 ms to complete and can be seen in
Designed for use in conjunction with this ramp-up scheme, the
ADAV4601 features a status pin, PWM_READY, that indicates
when the PWM outputs are in a state that can cause pops/clicks,
such as power-up and power-down. During PWM power-up
and power-down, this pin remains low to signify that the
outputs are not in a valid state. This functionality helps to
eliminate pop/click and other unwanted noise on the outputs.
To accommodate different power stages, the point at which the
PWM_READY signal goes high is programmable. It can go
high when the PWM outputs begin their ramp-up scheme
(PWM_READY early), or it can be programmed to go high
when this ramp-up scheme is complete (PWM_READY late).
This is shown in
Figure 33, and it is configured in the PWM
control register (0x001F).
Each set of PWM outputs comprises complementary outputs.
The modulation frequency is 384 kHz, and the full-scale duty
cycle has a ratio of 97:3.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT
There is a dedicated stereo headphone amplifier output that is
capable of driving 32 Ω loads at 1 V rms.
After reset, the headphone output is tristated. The tristate is
disabled using the headphone control register (0x000B). Using
the same register, the gain of the headphone amplifier can be set in
+1.5 dB steps from +1.5 dB to 45 dB. The headphone output
should have a 10 μF capacitor for dc blocking.
