The following values are typical characteristics; accordingly they are not guaranteed values.
ATTACK ACTION START (MUTE ON)
When the attack action is started (‘mute on’ is initiated), the capacitor on Pin 13 starts to charge. The voltage at the
capacitor on Pin 13 rises by 1.8 V. The 1.8 V rise time can be calculated by the following equation:
Capacitance X 1.8 V
Charge Current

When the capacitor of Pin 13 rises by 1.8 V to -3.2 V as detected by the upper limit circuit, the mute action functions
(V
SS
+ 1.8 V = -3.2 V). In this estimate, when the capacitor on Pin 13 has risen by 0.7 V to 0.8 V, the attenuation is
approximately 90% of the final attenuation achieved. This results in the following calculation and timing chart.
RELEASE ACTION START (MUTE OFF)
When the release action is started (‘mute off’ is initiated) the capacitor on Pin 13 starts to discharge. The voltage
at the capacitor on Pin 13 falls to V
SS
+ 10 mV. This fall time can be calculated by the following equation:
Capacitance X 1.8 V

In this estimate, when the capacitor on Pin 13 has fallen to V
SS
+ 0.7 V to 0.8 V, the signal is restored to approximately
90% of its value. This results in the following calculation and timing chart:
Accordingly, the release action time is 12 msec
(T3 - T4 = 28 msec - 16 msec = 12 msec).
