CS4353
4.1 Line Outputs
4.1.1
Ground-Centered Outputs
An on-chip charge pump creates both positive and negative high-voltage supplies, which allows the full-
scale output swing to be centered around ground. This eliminates the need for large DC-blocking capac-
itors which create audible pops at power-on, allows the CS4353 to deliver a larger full-scale output at low-
er supply voltages, and provides improved bandwidth frequency response.
4.1.2
Full-Scale Output Amplitude Control
The full-scale output voltage amplitude is selected via the 1_2VRMS pin. When the pin is connected to
VL, the full-scale output voltage at the AOUTx pins is approximately 2 VRMS. When the pin is connected
to GND, the full-scale output voltage at the AOUTx pins is approximately 1 VRMS. Additional impedance
between the AOUTx pin and the load will lower the voltage delivered to the load. See the DAC Analog
Characteristics (Commercial - CNZ) or DAC Analog Characteristics (Automotive - DNZ) table for the com-
plete specifications of the full-scale output voltage.
4.1.3
Pseudo-Differential Outputs
The CS4353 implements a pseudo-differential output stage. The AOUT_REF input is intended to be used
as a pseudo-differential reference signal. This feature provides common mode noise rejection with single-
ended signals. Figure 4 shows a basic diagram outlining the internal implementation of the pseudo-differ-
ential output stage, including a recommended stereo pseudo-differential output topology. If pseudo-differ-
ential output functionality is not required, simply connect the AOUT_REF pin to ground next to the
CS4353. If a split-ground design is used, the AOUT_REF pin should be connected to AGND. See the Ab-
solute Maximum Ratings table for the maximum allowable voltage on the AOUT_REF pin. Applying a DC
voltage on the AOUT_REF pin will cause a DC offset on the DAC output.
