DIGITAL ADC VOLUME CONTROL
The output of the ADCs can be digitally amplified or attenuated over a range from –97dB to +30dB in
0.5dB steps. The volume of each channel can be controlled separately. The gain for a given eight-bit
code X is given by:
0.5  (X-195) dB for 1  X  255;
MUTE for X = 0
The LAVU and RAVU control bits control the loading of digital volume control data. When LAVU or
RAVU are set to 0, the LADCVOL or RADCVOL control data will be loaded into the respective control
register, but will not actually change the digital gain setting. Both left and right gain settings are
updated when either LAVU or RAVU are set to 1. This makes it possible to update the gain of both
channels simultaneously.
