maximum threshold. When the input signal level falls below the maximum threshold, the AOUT volume re-
turns to its original level set in the HP/LO Volume Control register at a programmable release rate. Attack
and release rates are affected by the DAC soft ramp settings and sample rate, Fs. Limiter soft ramp depen-
dency may be independently enabled/disabled using the LIMSRDIS.
Note that the limiter maintains the output signal between the CUSHSPK, CUSHHL, CUSHESL and LMAX-
SPK, LMAXHL, LMAXESL thresholds. As the digital input signal level changes, the level-controlled output
may not always be the same, but always falls within the thresholds.
Recommended settings: Best limiting performance may be realized with the fastest attack and slowest re-
lease setting with soft ramp enabled in the control registers. The CUSHx bits allow the user to set a thresh-
old slightly below the maximum threshold for hysteresis control—this cushions the sound as the limiter
attacks and releases.
