AUTOMUTE

The WM8768 can automute by counting zero samples on the DIN1/2/3/4 inputs. When 1024 zero

samples are counted on one channel, one of four internal zero flags (zflag1/2/3/4 shown in figure 2)

is raised. Depending on the external hardware and settings of DZFM, MPD and IZD, different

automute operations are possible.

MUTE PIN AS OUTPUT

If the MUTE pin is connected to a high impedance (input to external mute circuitry for example) or left

floating, zflag1/2/3/4 will be output on the Mute pin dependent on DZFM settings. This is described in

Table 12 below. The output impedance of the MUTE pin is 10kOhms

Table 12 Effect of DZFM on Mute Pin Output

When the Mute pin is used as an output, its logic level remains connected to the DZFM selector

inside the chip (see figure 1). So, when the WM8768 drives the Mute pin high, the output DACs will

also softmute as described by Table 13.
