Each analogue output of the WM8976 can be separately enabled or disabled. The analogue mixer
associated with each output has a separate enable. All outputs are disabled by default. To save
power, unused parts of the WM8976 should remain disabled.
Outputs can be enabled at any time, but it is not recommended to do so when BUFIO is disabled
(BUFIOEN=0) or when BUFDCOP is disabled (BUFDCOPEN=0) when configured in output boost
mode, as this may cause pop noise (see “Power Management” and “Applications Information”
sections).
The speaker outputs can drive very large currents. To protect the WM8976 from overheating a
thermal shutdown circuit is included. If the device temperature reaches approximately 125
thermal shutdown circuit is enabled (TSDEN=1) then the speaker amplifiers will be disabled if
TSDEN is set. The thermal shutdown may also be configured to generate an interrupt. See the GPIO
and Interrupt Controller section for details.
Whenever an analogue input/output is disabled, it remains connected to a voltage source (either
AVDD/2 or 1.5xAVDD/2 as appropriate) through a resistor. This helps to prevent pop noise when the
output is re-enabled. The resistance between the voltage buffer and the output pins can be
controlled using the VROI control bit. The default impedance is low, so that any capacitors on the
outputs can charge up quickly at start-up. If a high impedance is desired for disabled outputs, VROI
can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 30k .
