Bass Management
The CS4525 implements a dedicated stereo 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossover with adjustable cross-
over frequency to achieve bass management for 2.1 configurations. The filter’s stereo high-pass outputs
are used to drive the full-range speakers, and its stereo low-pass outputs are each attenuated by 6 dB
and summed to drive the sub channel.
The bass management crossover is implemented with one of two preset internal filter sets. One set is op-
timized for a 32 kHz sample rate, and the other is optimized for 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sample
rates. The CS4525 automatically detects the input sample rate and chooses the appropriate filter set to
apply. The available bass management cross-over frequencies are shown in
below and are con-
figured with the BassMgr[2:0] bits in the EQ Config register.
Note that the corner frequency of each filter set scales linearly with the input sample rate.
When the internal ADC is used as the serial audio data source, the input sample rate is nominally 48 kHz
and the corresponding shelving frequency corners are available.
The BassMgr[2:0] bits also allow the bass manager to be disabled. When disabled, the bass management
crossover is bypassed and no signal is presented on the sub channel.
To allow full-range headphone operation, when the HP_DETECT/MUTE pin is configured for headphone
detection (the HP/Mute bit is set), the operation of the bass manager is affected by the active state of the
headphone detection input signal. In this configuration, when the bass manager is enabled, (BassMgr[2:0]
bits not equal to ‘000’) and the headphone detection input signal becomes active, the bass manager will
be automatically disabled. When the headphone detection input signal becomes inactive, the bass man-
ager will be automatically reconfigured to operate as dictated by the BassMgr[2:0] bits.
