CS42418
4.2.2
High-Pass Filter and DC Offset Calibration
The high-pass filter continuously subtracts a measure of the DC offset from the output of the decimation
filter. The high-pass filter can be independently enabled and disabled. If the HPF_Freeze bit is set during
normal operation, the current value of the DC offset for the corresponding channel is frozen and this DC
offset will continue to be subtracted from the conversion result. This feature makes it possible to perform
a system DC offset calibration by:
1. Running the CS42418 with the high-pass filter enabled until the filter settles. See the Digital Filter
Characteristics for filter settling time.
2. Disabling the high-pass filter and freezing the stored DC offset.
The high-pass filters are controlled using the HPF_FREEZE bit in the register “Misc Control (address
05h)” on page 46.

Analog Outputs
4.3.1
Line-Level Outputs and Filtering
The CS42418 contains on-chip buffer amplifiers capable of producing line-level differential outputs. These
amplifiers are biased to a quiescent DC level of approximately VQ.
The delta-sigma conversion process produces high-frequency noise beyond the audio passband, most of
which is removed by the on-chip analog filters. The remaining out-of-band noise can be attenuated using
an off-chip low-pass filter. See “DAC Output Filter” on page 61 for a recommended output buffer. This filter
configuration accounts for the normally differing AC loads on the AOUT+ and AOUT- differential output
pins. It also shows an AC coupling configuration which minimizes the number of required AC coupling ca-
pacitors. Figure 8 shows the full-scale analog output levels.

Interpolation Filter
To accommodate the increasingly complex requirements of digital audio systems, the CS42418 incorpo-
rates selectable interpolation filters for each mode of operation. A “fast” and a “slow” roll-off filter is avail-
able in Single-, Double-, and Quad-Speed Modes. These filters have been designed to accommodate a
variety of musical tastes and styles. The FILT_SEL bit found in the register “Misc Control (address 05h)”
on page 46 selects which filter is used. Filter response plots can be found in Figures 39 to 62.
