Production Data
OUT3 OUTPUT
The OUT3 pin can drive a 16 or 32 headphone or a line output or be used as a DC reference for a
headphone output (see Headphone Output section). It can be selected to either drive out an inverted
ROUT1 or inverted MONOOUT for e.g. an earpiece drive between OUT3 and LOUT1 or differential
output between OUT3 and MONOOUT. OUT3 can also drive an un-inverted ROUT1 signal, which
originates at the right mixer output before the output PGA.
OUT3SW selects the mode of operation required.

ENABLING THE OUTPUTS
Each analogue output of the WM8750L 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)

Table 29 Analogue Output Control
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 (1.5k), 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 40k.
