LRCLK
This signal determines which audio channel (left/right) is
currently being input on the audio Serial Data input line.
LRCLK is low to indicate the left channel and high to
indicate the right channel. Typical frequency values for this
signal are 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, and 22 kHz.
SCLK
This signal is the serial digital audio PCM clock.
SDATA
This signal is the digital PCM signal that carries audio
information. Digital audio data is transferred using I
2
S
format.
MCLK
This signal is the Master clock for the digital audio. MCLK
is asynchronous to LRCLK, SDATA, and SCLK.
The MCLK must be either 256x or 384x the desired Input
Word Rate (IWR). IWR is the frequency at which words for
each channel are input to the DAC and is equal to the
LRCLK frequency. The following table illustrates several
standard audio word rates and the required MCLK and
LRCLK frequencies. Typically, most devices operate with
384 Fs master clock.
The ZV Port audio DAC should support a MCLK frequency
of 384 Fs. This results in the frequencies shown below.
