CS4525
6.2 Hardware Mode
A limited feature set is available when the CS4525 powers up in hardware mode. The available features are
described in the following sections. All device configuration is achieved via hardware control input pins.
6.2.1
System Clocking
In hardware mode, the CS4525 must be clocked by a stable external clock source input on the SYS_CLK
pin. This input clock is used to synchronize the input serial audio signals with the internal clock domain
and to clock the internal digital processing, sample-rate converter, and PWM modulators. It is also used
to determine the sample rate of the serial audio input signals in order to automatically configure the vari-
ous internal filter coefficients.
To ensure proper operation, the CS4525 must be informed of the nominal frequency of the supplied
SYS_CLK signal via the ClkFreq0 hardware control pin. This pin must be set to the appropriate level be-
fore the RST signal is released to initiate a power-up sequence. The ClkFreq1 pin must always be con-
nected to DGND. The nominal clock frequencies indicated by the state of the ClkFreq0 pin are shown in
Table 13 below. See the SYS_CLK Switching Specifications table on page 23 for complete input frequen-
cy range specifications.

WARNING: The SYS_CLK signal must never be removed or stopped while the RST pin is high and any
of the power output stages are connected to a load. Doing so may result in permanent damage to the
CS4525 and connected transducers.

Power-Up and Power-Down
The CS4525 will remain in a completely powered-down state until the RST pin is brought high.
6.2.2.1 Power-Up Sequence
1. Apply the SYS_CLK signal.
2. Hold RST low until the power supplies and the input SYS_CLK signal are stable.
3. Bring RST high.
Hardware mode will be entered after approximately 10 ms.
