gradual voltage ramp minimizes output transients while the DC blocking capacitor is charged and dis-
charged. The Popguard has no effect on the PWM_SIG outputs nor the auxiliary serial output.
PWM Popguard is disabled by default; to enable it, the RmpSpd[1:0] register must be set to any value
other than 11. PWM Popguard should only be used for has when the power outputs are configured for
stereo half-bridge with full-bridge sub per
. The RAMP_CAP pin must be connected to the
VP supply through a 0.033 µF capacitor whenever PWM Popguard is enabled, as shown in
.
Table 9. Typical Ramp Times for Various VP Voltages
PWM Popguard’s output ramp time will vary depending on the voltage applied to VP and the value of the
RmpSpd[1:0] bits; typical ramp times are listed in
. All output channels are affected by the
RmpSpeed[1:0] bits, and PWM Popguard is disabled by default.

Logic-Level PWM Outputs
The CS4525 has two configurable logic-level PWM outputs, PWM_SIG1 and PWM_SIG2. These outputs
can be used as either digital input to an external PWM amplifier such as the CS4412, or as an analog
input to a headphone amplifier or a line-out amplifier.
To eliminate power-up pops when used to supply an external PWM amplifier, the CS4525 implements the
same click-free start-up function on the PWM_SIG outputs as it does for its own powered PWM outputs.
This function can only be utilized if the PWM amplifier has an initial transition delay feature, such as the
CS4412A. To eliminate power-up and power-down pops when used to supply an analog output circuit,
the PWM_SIG outputs support a high-impedance state that is controlled by the HiZPSig bit in the
VP Voltage
