DIFFERENTIAL MONO MODE
DIFF[1:0] sets the required differential output mode; normal stereo, reversed stereo, mono left or
mono right, as shown in Table 36.

Table 36 Differential Output Modes
Using these controls a pair of WM8741 devices may be used to build a dual differential stereo
implementation with higher performance and differential output.
DITHER
Dither is applied whenever internal truncation occurs. It is also used when a 32 bit input word is
applied to the DAC prior to truncation to the internal wordlength. Three types of dither can be
selected to allow the sound quality if the device to be optimised.
TDF has a triangular probability density function and causes zero noise modulation i.e. the
quantisation noise is invariant to the changes in the signal level. This mode is recommended and is
selected by default.
RPDF has a rectangular probability density function and may cause noise modulation.
HPDF has a triangular probability density function with a high pass characteristic, which has a lower
noise at low frequencies at the expense of raised noise levels at higher frequencies.
Alternatively the dither can be disabled.
