Analog In to Analog Out Passthrough
The CS42L55 accommodates analog routing of the analog input signal directly to the headphone and line
out amplifiers. This feature is useful in applications that utilize an FM tuner where audio recovered over-the-
air must be transmitted to the headphone amplifier without digital conversion in the ADC and DAC. This an-
alog passthrough path reduces power consumption and is immune to modulator switching noise that could
interfere with some tuners. This path is selected using the Line and/or HP mux bits and powering down the
ADC.
