AUDIO DATA INTERFACE
Audio Serial Interface
The audio interface port is a 3-wire serial port. It includes PLRCK (pin 4), PBCK (pin 6), and PDATA (pin 5). PBCK is the
serial audio bit clock, and it is used to clock the serial data present on PDATA into the serial shift register of the audio
interface. Serial data is clocked into the DSD1796 on the rising edge of PBCK. PLRCK is the serial audio left/right word
clock.
The DSD1796 requires the synchronization of PLRCK and the system clock, but does not need a specific phase relation
between PLRCK and the system clock.
If the relationship between PLRCK and the system clock changes more than ±6 PBCK, internal operation is initialized within
1/f
S
and analog outputs are forced to the bipolar zero level until resynchronization between PLRCK and the system clock
is completed.
PCM Audio Data Formats and Timing
The DSD1796 supports industry-standard audio data formats, including standard right-justified, I
2
S, and left-justified. The
data formats are shown in Figure 27. Data formats are selected using the format bits, FMT[2:0], in control register 18. The
default data format is 24-bit I
2
S. All formats require binary 2s complement, MSB-first audio data. Figure 26 shows a detailed
timing diagram for the serial audio interface.
