C Host Mode Controls

 

 
In I

2

C Host Mode, the MX5000 will read audio parameters from the external serial flash ROM 

after reset.  After reset, the system will continuously monitor the value of external analog 
control pins for real-time audio controls.  These pins are connected to eight potentiometers 
on the MX5000 Prototyping Module for OEM presets and user controls, which are 
summarized in Table 2.   
 
The MX5000 will support most of its major functions in I

2

C Host mode.  Some functions, like 

MaxxEQ, require modifying the flash ROM for static customized parameters, or can be used 
fully dynamically (and clicklessly) in I

C Slave Mode.
