STAND-BY AND MUTE FUNCTIONS
(A) Microprocessor Application
In order to avoid annoying ”Pop-Noise” during
Turn-On/Off transients, it is necessary to guaran-
tee the right St-by and mute signals sequence.
It is quite simple to obtain this function using a mi-
croprocessor (Fig. 1 and 2).
At first St-by signal (from mP) goes high and the
voltage across the St-by terminal (Pin 7) starts to
increase exponentially. The external RC network
is intended to turn-on slowly the biasing circuits of
Figure 1: Microprocessor Application
the outputs.
When this voltage reaches the St-by threshold
level, the amplifier is switched-on and the external
capacitors in series to the input terminals (C3,
C5) start to charge.
It’s necessary to mantain the mute signal low until
the capacitors are fully charged, this to avoid that
the device goes in play mode causing a loud ”Pop
Noise” on the speakers.
A delay of 100-200ms between St-by and mute
signals is suitable for a proper operation.

(B) Low Cost Application external voltage divider.

In low cost applications where the mP is not pre-
sent, the suggested circuit is shown in fig.3.
The St-by and mute terminals are tied together
and they are connected to the supply line via an
The device is switched-on/off from the supply line
and the external capacitor C4 is intended to delay
the St-by and mute threshold exceeding, avoiding
”Popping” problems.
