13.4 Input configurations

The IC can be applied in two ways, ‘input mode low’ and ‘input mode high’. This can be

selected by the input mode at pin 8:

1. Input mode low: pin 8 floating: The DC level of the input pins has to be between 0 V

and (VP1.8 V). A DC path to ground is needed. The maximum output voltage is

approximately 2.1 V (RMS). Input configurations illustrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4

should be used.

2. Input mode high: pin 8 is connected to VP: This mode is intended for supply voltages

> 6 V. It can deliver a maximum output voltage of approximately 6 V (RMS) at

THD = 0.5 %. The DC voltage level of the input pins is (0.5VP+ 0.6 V). Coupling

capacitors are necessary. Input configurations illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6

should be used.

VP< 6 V. VP< 6 V.
