I've been trying to solve this for a few days and not getting anywhere so i thought id ask here.
I have a MCU controlling two opto switches, one passes or blocks the audio the other mutes the output to ground. The mcu is clocked by internal RC at 1mhz.
The issue i'm having is that the mute opto always produces a pulse of super fast output ringing when turned on (~60mhz then ~10mhz).
The signal is instrumentation level audio and this burst of ringing produces an audible 'click/pop' when transiting into the mute state.
Does anyone have any good ideas how to stop or suppress this ringing?
I've tried disabling the MCU and driving the optos manually and i still get the problem, so i don't think its a digital noise issue.
Any help appreciated.
Yellow is AC audio and blue is DC opto drive from mcu. (Logic is inverted, so mcu low = opto on = mute)
This is a silent signal being muted.
