D-Amp IC Operation & Control
D-AMP IC Operation & Control
1) D-AMP IC (C1AB0000497) was used for this model (AKX10).
2) Three control pins (signal send from micro-processor IC) were used to control the D-AMP IC
operation such as muting, standby and normal operation. They are described as below: -

Here is detailed description of the three control pins for the D-AMP IC
A) MODE_DA & MUTE_F were used to switch the D-AMP IC in the following muting status:
Below is the logic for the two pins used for the control of the D-AMP IC.
Note: Standby/OFF condition of D.AMP IC is available / activated only during the following
event: Switching of Frequency Hoping, power off and start up (when the unit is undergoing
the transition from standby to normal operation mode)
B) F_HOP is used to control the D-AMP operation to avoid interference with AM source by
controlling the frequency source used. It will switch from one frequency to the other, depending on
the tuned AM frequency.
