CS5396

The psychoacoustic filter in the CS5396 is based on the paper: "Robert A. Wannamaker, Psychoacoustically Optimal Noise Shaping, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol 40, No 7/8, 1992 July/August." The default coefficients in the CS5396 are the FIR 9-tap filter coefficients described in Table 3 of the paper. Since the effective noise shaping function is (1-H), the CS5396 registers save the (1-H) function coefficients. Therefore, the negative of each filter coefficient is stored in the registers. Each coefficient is represented as a binary 2's complement number where the 4 MSB's represent the whole number of the coefficient and the 4 LSB's represent the fractional portion truncated to 4 binary bits.
