CS44600
4. APPLICATIONS
4.1 Overview
The CS44600 is a multi-channel digital-to-PWM Class D audio system controller including interpolation,
sample rate conversion, half- and full-bridge PWM driver outputs, and power supply rejection feedback in a
64-pin LQFP package. The architecture uses a direct-to-digital approach that maintains digital signal integ-
rity to the final output filter, minimizing analog interference effects which negatively affect system perfor-
mance.
The CS44600 integrates on-chip sample rate conversion, digital volume control, peak detect with volume
limiter, de-emphasis, programmable interrupt conditions, and the ability to change the PWM switch rate to
eliminate AM frequency interference. The CS44600 also has a programmable load compensation filter,
which allows the speaker load to vary while the output filter remains fixed, maintaining a flat frequency re-
sponse. For single-ended half-bridge applications PWM Popguard
®
reduces the transient pops and clicks
and realtime power supply feedback reduces noise coupling from the power supply. The PWM amplifier can
achieve greater than 90% efficiency. This efficiency provides for a smaller device package, less heat sink
requirements, and smaller power supplies.
The CS44600 is ideal for audio systems requiring wide dynamic range, negligible distortion, and low noise
such as A/V receivers, DVD receivers, digital speaker, and automotive audio systems.
