WM8741
ZERO FLAG
In hardware control mode the ZFLAG pin asserts when 1024 consecutive zero samples are applied
to the left and right channels of the WM8741 when in PCM mode. In DSD mode, the ZFLAG has no
function.
In hardware mode there is no access to the infinite zero detect and so there is no automute function.
If this functionality is required, software mode must be used. Figure 27 shows the MUTEB and
ZFLAG configuration.

DE-EMPHASIS CONTROL AND ANTI-CLIPPING MODE
In hardware control mode, de-emphasis is supported with a maximum error of +1.5dB at a sampling
rate of 44.1kHz.
Audio material is regularly recorded up to 0dB level and heavily compressed. This causes clipping
and distortion when the digital media is applied to a DAC. In order to prevent this in the WM8741, an
anti-clipping mode is provided, which attenuates the digital signal by 2dB as it is processed through
the digital filters.
Under hardware control de-emphasis and the anti-clipping mode are only available when using PCM
mode.
