Digital Signal Flow
In hardware mode, the CS4525 operates as a 2-channel full-bridge PWM amplifier with analog or digital
inputs. Both the PWM outputs and the auxiliary serial outputs are unavailable in hardware mode. To pro-
tect against over-temperature conditions, thermal foldback is included for the internal power stages.
The digital signal flow is shown in
below.

High-Pass Filter
The CS4525 includes a high-pass filter at the beginning of the digital signal processing chain to remove
any DC content from the input signal prior to the remaining internal digital signal processing blocks. The
high-pass filter operates by continuously subtracting a measure of the DC offset from the input signal; it
is always enabled.
6.2.5.2
Mute Control
The CS4525 includes a dedicated MUTE input pin. When low, the PWM outputs will output silence as
modulated signal. When high, the selected input source will be presented at the amplifier outputs.
It should be noted that the auto-mute, soft-ramp, and zero-crossing detection features are active in hard-
ware mode.
6.2.5.3
Warning and Error Reporting
The CS4525 is capable of reporting various error and warning conditions on its TWR, ERROC, and ER-
RUVTE pins.
•
The TWR pin indicates the presence of a thermal warning condition. When active concurrently with the
ERRUVTE pin, indicates a thermal error condition.
•
The ERROC pin indicates the presence of an over-current condition on one or both of the output chan-
nels.
•
The ERRUVTE pin indicates the presence of a VP undervoltage condition. When active concurrently
with the TWR pin, indicates a thermal error condition.
The trigger point for each warning and error condition is defined in the
PWM Power Output Characteristics
table on
. Each pin implements an active-low open-drain driver and requires an external pull-up
for proper operation.
