sent via the USB protocol to the controller, then transferred to the CODEC via I2S
protocol for conversion into analog baseband signals to drive the QSE up-mixer.
Audio Amplifier
An audio amplifier is present, capable of driving stereo headphones, or stereo powered
speakers, in the Stereo configuration, or a monophonic speaker directly, in the Mono
configuration. In stereo, each of the two amplifiers are carrying the appropriate left or
right channel information, and driving a low power amplifier suitable for headphones or
high impedance loads. In the Mono configuration, the two incoming stereo signals are
mixed together to form a single mono signal. This is fed to one amplifier directly and
inverted and fed to the other amplifier to form an “H-Bridge” speaker amplifier. In this
mode the speaker must be wired to bridge the amplifier output (connect to tip and ring on
stereo speaker plug) with no connection to ground.
