Hi,
SPK_SLEEP/ADR pin should be pulled to high before pulling SPK_SD pin to high in the hardware control mode.
On the other hand, this device should be muted to avoid an audible artifact if it returns from shut-down in the software control mode.
So, does this mute operation mean either of the sleep mode(0x01 Sleep Mode[1]) and the volume control(0x03 Mute Righ/Left Channel[1:0])?
Best Regards,
Kato
