ENABLING THE OUTPUTS
Each analogue output of the WM8971L can be separately enabled or disabled. The analogue mixer
associated with each output is powered on or off along with the output pin. All outputs are disabled by
default. To save power, unused outputs should remain disabled.
Outputs can be enabled at any time, except when VREF is disabled (VR=0), as this may cause pop
noise (see “Power Management” and “Applications Information” sections)

Whenever an analogue output is disabled, it remains connected to VREF (pin 20) through a resistor.
This helps to prevent pop noise when the output is re-enabled. The resistance between VREF and
each output can be controlled using the VROI bit in register 27. The default is low (1.5kΩ), so that
any capacitors on the outputs can charge up quickly at start-up. If a high impedance is desired for
disabled outputs, VROI can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 40kΩ.

HEADPHONE SWITCH
The HPDETECT pin can be used as a headphone switch control input to automatically disable the
speaker output and enable the headphone output e.g. when a headphone is plugged into a jack
socket. In this mode, enabled by setting HPSWEN, HPDETECT switches between headphone and
speaker outputs (e.g. when the pin is connected to a mechanical switch in the headphone socket to
detect plug-in). The HPSWPOL bit reverses the pin’s polarity. Note that the LOUT1, ROUT1, LOUT2
and ROUT2 bits in register 26 must also be set for headphone and speaker output (see Table 25 and
Table 26).
