TERMINOLOGY
1. Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) - SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the full scale output and the output
with no signal applied. (No Auto-zero or Automute function is employed in achieving these results).
2. Dynamic range (dB) - DNR is a measure of the difference between the highest and lowest portions of a signal.
Normally a THD+N measurement at 60dB below full scale. The measured signal is then corrected by adding the 60dB
to it. (e.g. THD+N @ -60dB= -32dB, DR= 92dB).
3. THD+N (dB) - THD+N is a ratio, of the rms values, of (Noise + Distortion)/Signal.
4. Stop band attenuation (dB) - Is the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band).
5. Channel Separation (dB) - Also known as crosstalk. This is a measure of the amount one channel is isolated from the
other. Normally measured by sending a full scale signal down one channel and measuring the other.
6. Pass-Band Ripple - Any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region.

Note:
If MCLK period is longer than maximum specified above, power-saving mode is entered and DACs are powered down with
internal digital audio filters being reset. In this power-saving mode, all registers will retain their values and can be
accessed in the normal manner through the control interface. Once MCLK is restored, the DACs are automatically
powered up, but a write to the volume update register bit is required to restore the correct volume settings.
