HEADPHONE OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The headphone outputs LOUT, ROUT, OUT3 and OUT4 are each driven by different output mixers
as described below.
The LOUT and ROUT pins output the LOMIX and ROMIX outputs respectively.
OUT3 is the output of mixer OUT3MIX, whose inputs are:
•
•
LIN4/RXN
LOMIX output via volume control LOPGA
OUT4 is the output of mixer OUT4MIX, whose inputs are:
•
•
RIN4/RXP
ROMIX output via volume control ROPGA
Full volume control is available on LOUT and ROUT. 0dB and -6dB attenuation is available on OUT3
and OUT4, with full volume control available using LOPGA and ROPGA for the LOMIX and ROMIX
signals.
The outputs LOUT, ROUT, OUT3 and OUT4 are capable of driving 40mW into 16Ω loads such as
stereo headsets, headphones, and/or a handset ear speaker. AC-coupled, capless mode and fully
differential headphone drive modes are available.
AC-coupled output is possible on each of LOUT, ROUT, OUT3 and OUT4 simultaneously.
Capless headphone output is possible on LOUT and ROUT by using either OUT3 or OUT4 as the
common return path. (This is achieved by muting OUT3 or OUT4 as required.)
If RXP and RXN are a mono differential input (e.g. a connection to an external voice CODEC), then
OUT3 and OUT4 may be used as a differential output capable of driving a handset ear speaker. The
signal paths from RXP to OUT4 and from RXN to OUT3 are direct, and do not pass through any
additional amplifiers. This reduces standby and active power consumption and improves signal
quality.
