DIGITAL MICROPHONE VOLUME CONTROL
The output of the Digital Microphone DSP can be digitally amplified or attenuated over a range from -
71.625dB to +17.625dB in 0.375dB steps. The volume of each channel can be controlled separately.
The gain for a given eight-bit code is detailed in Table 10.
The DMIC_VU bit controls the loading of digital volume control data. When DMIC_VU is set to 0, the
DMICL_VOL or DMICR_VOL control data will be loaded into the respective control register, but will
not actually change the digital gain setting. Both left and right gain settings are updated when a 1 is
written to DMIC_VU. This makes it possible to update the gain of both channels simultaneously.
